The Buenos Aires Central Business District is the main commercial centre of Buenos Aires, Argentina, though not an official city ward. While the barrios of Puerto Madero and Retiro house important business complexes and modern high-rise architecture, the area traditionally known as Microcentro (Spanish: Microcenter) is located within San Nicolás and Monserrat, roughly coinciding with the area around the historic center of the Plaza de Mayo. The Microcentro has a wide concentration of offices, service companies and banks, and a large circulation of pedestrians on working days. Another name given to this unofficial barrio is La City, which refers more precisely to an even smaller sector within the Microcentro, where almost all the banking headquarters of the country are concentrated.El Microcentro es un barrio no oficial de Buenos Aires, por lo tanto, no tiene límites establecidos; su ubicación se superpone aproximadamente con el barrio de San Nicolás y parte de los de Monserrat y Retiro.

Plaza de Mayo is a beautiful area to explore during the day — it’s one of those places where the history and architecture really come alive. The square itself is surrounded by stunning buildings, from the Casa Rosada to the various museums and government houses, each with its own character and charm. I was pleasantly surprised that many of the nearby sites seemed open and free to enter, which made it easy to wander in and take a closer look. It’s a great spot to stroll, take photos, and soak in the mix of old-world grandeur and the energy of modern Buenos Aires.

Really beautiful (even more so when lit up at nighttime) and has a really relaxed and charming atmosphere. The square is big allowing for space to enjoy the surroundings. Really worth a visit when in the area.

I went around sunset and I thought it was very picturesque. It is worth the trip down there. You can go on and off the bus with a touchless credit card. Also, the Catedral is down in the square as well, but I wrote that up separately.

The heart of Buenos Aires and a place full of history. Plaza de Mayo is surrounded by iconic buildings like the Casa Rosada and the Metropolitan Cathedral. It’s a great spot to walk around, take photos, and feel the city’s energy. Many important events in Argentina’s history happened here, so it’s much more than just a square

We had a lovely time walking around this area as there is lots of historical buildings to see. We also walked a long the river and stopped for refreshments along the way.

The plaza with the monuments and buildings is lovely to see. For sure a must see, when you’re in Buenos Aires.

A lovely plaza where locals protest the government in power. Also has a fitting memorial to the thousands that died of COVID. It’s very Euro like in its massive monumental architecture.

I would like give a review to Feria de San Telmo, which takes place every Sunday on Plaza Dorrego. If you are interested in antique jewelry, plates, statuettes, etc. then you have to definitely visit Feria de San Telmo. It is smaller than some of European flea markets, but still big for Latin America with better prices than in Europe👍

A great place to experience local culture! Lively atmosphere with tango dancers, street artists, antique stalls, and cafés all around. Perfect spot to sit back with a drink and watch Buenos Aires come alive. 💃☕️🇦🇷

Plaza Dorrego in Buenos Aires is an absolute must-visit for anyone looking to experience the vibrant culture and rich history of the city. Located in the heart of the charming San Telmo district, this historic square is a hub of activity and a true gem for both locals and tourists alike. On Sundays, the plaza transforms into a bustling open-air market, where you can browse an array of antiques, handmade crafts, and unique souvenirs. The lively atmosphere is complemented by street performers, tango dancers, and musicians who bring the space to life with their talents. It’s a perfect spot to soak up the local culture and enjoy the infectious energy of Buenos Aires. The surrounding area is dotted with quaint cafes and restaurants, offering delicious Argentine cuisine and a place to relax and people-watch. The colonial architecture and cobblestone streets add to the charm, making it a picturesque setting for a leisurely stroll. What makes Plaza Dorrego truly special is its authentic, lively ambiance that offers a genuine taste of Buenos Aires' cultural heritage. Whether you're looking to shop, dine, or simply enjoy the vibrant street performances, Plaza Dorrego offers an unforgettable experience that captures the spirit of the city. Highly recommended for any visitor!

Happening with lovely and nice people. Sunday market starts at 10-ish till 6 ish. Stuff sold are very cheap.

The heart and soul of the old Buenos Aires. A lot of antiques and vintage pieces. A great cultural experience in a very bohemian neighbourhood. Here you can watch tango for free and some live music. The fair also extends through the whole square and down the street up to Plaza de Mayo.

I really liked the vibe of the place. What attracted me the most was the architecture of the buildings

Lovely artisan market and the street tango was amazing 👏

This is an ok plaza but it's quite noisy due to the "cotorritas", small green parrots; so not recommend to relax, if you need a quiet place 🤣

It's a nice plaza if you live in the area but not really worth travelling from more than 5 miles away for.

Fea

This is where San Martin's Municipality building and the Cathedral are.

I've seen plazas before, but this one... oh my

Another beautiful plaza in Buenos Aires

It's is a place to stay "Tranqui" like the Argentino said

Amazing place to get to know better Argentina’s culture, specially in terms of soccer. Beautiful place with a lot of bars and good restaurants.

Nice place to have some lunch and buy souvenir. Crowded but still pretty.

Really pretty and colorful. I went early, nothing open but perfect for pictures and not too hot or busy.

A very colourful neighbourhood beat visited during daytime. Heaps of shops and bars and restaurants and street art. If you want a great photo with a tango dancer this is the place. Great for lunch or just seeing the colourful sights!

It's a beautiful area to walk around

Visited on Sunday the 25th of May. What a vibe. The whole area was buzzing with food, wine, and dance. They are passionate about their local soccer club. A must visit if in the area.

Colorful and old style houses with cobblestone streets. This street have restaurants and souvenirs stores, This is a cultural street with urban arts.

A well maintained hotel with friendly attentive staff. Thank you for a comfortable stay and your outstanding hospitality.

We stayed with a large group at the hotel and my husband and I enjoyed our time very much. The hotel staff were very accommodating and Luis who manages the breakfast buffet was extremely friendly. We also had many great suggestions from the front desk staff, who spoke very good English. Clean, safe and very comfortable accommodations. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! Clean and spacious rooms, comfortable beds, a small kitchenette area, and the balcony with a great view. The rooms also contain safes for storing personal valuables, and the bathrooms had good water, pressure and all the usual amenities. The room also had a TV, although most channels were in Spanish, they were only three English news channels. The hotel has a continental breakfast with an excellent attendant named Luis. The selections include hard-boiled eggs, sliced tomatoes, ham, cheese, pourable yogurt, orange juice, coffee, and espresso, some cereal, bread, and pastries and fruit. The concierge was extremely helpful and spoke excellent English. They also knew the surrounding area well and were able to make recommendations for restaurants and cafés to check out. There are a large number within easy walking distance. Overall, we had an excellent experience, and would certainly stay there again the next time we visit Buenos Aires!

I’ve stayed at Argenta Suites twice now, hosting groups for a weeklong stay. I highly recommend this hotel, in the beautiful, safe neighborhood of Belgrano. It’s a block from the major shopping street of Av. Cabildo and just a few a streets to two subway stops, about 20-25 minute ride to the heart of BA. The staff are wonderful, speak English and are super helpful and accommodating of our many requests. Luis, who runs the breakfast room is friendly and helpful, a wonderful person to be greeted by every morning. The rooms have balconies and kitchenettes, safes and A/C and heaters. The beds are lovely- wonderful mattresses and duvets. And the water pressure in the shower is amazing! I highly recommend this hotel!

Comfortable and cosy hotel, very safe because you need receptionist to unlock for entry and exit. Not cluttered. Breakfast is simple and good for the health conscious . Luis remembers which rooms we were from after 2 mornings and very attentive and courteous, tops up food and makes a point to say "Good morning " and shakes our hands, even though he doesn't speak English and we don't speak Spanish. Room is cleaned thoroughly daily by a friendly middle-aged lady whom I witnessed when I was in on 2 mornings. Hotel within 20 minutes walking distance to Chinatown and many cosy cafes, grocery stores and supermarkets too. Will definitely return. Thanks for the excellent service!

One of the nicest places we stayed at in Buenos Aires, not far from the Metro, safe and fairly quite street, probably one of the best neighborhoods to stay in. Luis severed breakfast in the morning and he was excellent, even though we had a language barrier, he wast perfect at showing us all the items, and was very helpful and cheerful every morning. Also one young gentleman that worked the front desk in the evening was extremely helpful, spoke excellent English, he gave us some awesome recommendations for food and places to see. We stayed in both the Suite and the bigger Presidential Suites, both had nice kitchenette areas, and a nice balcony's. The Presidential Suites was really nice, with a separate bedroom, huge balcony, very spacious, great for families. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

The hotel is in a great location and the staff are very kind and helpful. Luis provided a great breakfast experience, too!

Super pleasant staff! Big thanks go to Melina and Catalina, who were the most helpful and aswered our millions of questions about Argentina. We appreciated the style of the hotel too: high ceiling and wooden floors🙂Breakfasts also were very good here. The only thing we would improve is ventilation in the bathroom.

Stylish hotel, close to the attractions of San Telmo with very comfortable bedrooms and communal space. A special mention for Javier on reception who made us feel so welcome and went out of his way to help us with a problem we were having with our onward flight. We really appreciated his kindness and courtesy.

A cute hotel in a great quiet location. The staff are very friendly especially Lara who explained & gave us suggestions of things to do. Would recommend to stay at this Hotel.

Location of this small hotel is excellent. Five stars for the exceptionally friendly, caring, professional staff. Five stars for a wonderful breakfast. The breakfast room/ lounge is nicely decorated. Nice to find some books in the little bookcase. Almost all in French, since it attracts French travelers. Happy to be able to leave my luggage as I had a night flight. The room I stayed at was on the top floor and set back so it was quiet. It was a small room, with a very comfortable bed, a small desk and chair. Very basic (IKEA) furniture. The bathroom was fine, just basic. Towels and bath rug were of mediocre quality. Recommended would be a luggage rack to place the suitcase on and a doormat to prevent tracking in mud. Despite the wonderful care of the staff and beautiful breakfast, I would not call this a four star boutique hotel. Three stars, perhaps. Thank you again for your friendly care.

Sufficient hotel with all we needed. The rooms were clean. The staff were very hospitalble and helpful. The location is gold. Safe and quiet. We love the rustic look and the breakfast was good.

I enjoyed my four night stay here. The location in San Telmo is excellent - just a few short blocks from the San Telmo Market and lots of great restaurants. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Good breakfast. I would happily stay here again. My room was on the top floor - no elevator. If you have mobility issues, mention that when reserving. The receptionist graciously helped me with my suitcase.

This is a gem of a boutique hotel in Santelmo. The building dates back to the late 1800s and the owners have scrupulously completely renovated every part of it, with taste, attention to detail and an eye for color. Everyone on staff is extremely nice and helpful. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated, but not overly so. The beds are wonderfully comfortable and it’s like sleeping at home. A genuinely wonderful experience and I highly recommend staying there when Buenos Aires!

(Translated by Google) I regret that I cannot give a review of the flowers, but I can give a review of the lack of responsibility and seriousness of their work. We trusted them for our wedding and they left us without the arrangements that we had ordered and paid for 10 days before. And without the possibility of looking for another option, because it was at the last minute. They forgot an order that they had promised to deliver, and what seems even more serious to me is that they did not make the slightest effort to solve it or look for an alternative that would allow us to have something in the celebration, but they limited themselves to answering us that it was They felt but that they had already closed the place. That speaks of very little commitment to their clients. (Original) Lamento no poder dar una critica de las flores, pero si de la poca responsabilidad y seriedad de su trabajo. Confiamos en ellos para nuestra boda y nos dejaron sin los arreglos que habíamos encargado y pagado 10 días antes. Y sin posibilidad de buscar otra opción, porque fue a último momento. Olvidaron un pedido que se habían comprometido a entregar, y lo que me parece mas grave aún, es que no hicieron el mínimo esfuerzo por solucionarlo o buscar una alternativa que nos permitiera contar con algo en la celebración, sino que se limitaron a respondernos que lo sentían pero que ya habían cerrado el local. Eso habla de muy poco compromiso con sus clientes.

A mixed bag, but more negatives than positives… ❌ Extremely overpriced unless you’re an Argentine citizen. There’s no free entry and it’s super expensive. ❌ The staff are some of the rudest least helpful people I’ve ever come across. ✅ It is an interesting place to look around, even though as a European most of the famous people were not famous to me. ❌ The state of some of the graves is disgusting, they are literally being used as rubbish dumps with empty paint cans and plastic bags dumped on top of coffins. I have no idea how they are spending the exorbitant entrance fees but it’s not on respecting the dead who are buried here.

I love visiting cemeteries when visiting large cities, as they give great insight into the history and culture of the people. This cemetery is spectacular. I joined an English guided tour with Victoria, who was engaging and funny, recounting both the stories and the folklore that had built up around some of the mausoleum. Absolutely fascinating. A great way to spend 2-3 hours.

This is a must visit spot but I recommend getting a local guide as it is all rather meaningless with proper explanations. The mausoleums are a walk through the history of Argentina and of course you can see its most famous inhabitant - Eva Peron though her mausoleum is one of the least impressive of the lot. We spent a couple of hours here with a guide that we hired at the entrance.

We visited the Recoleta Cemetery and were truly amazed by how fascinating and beautiful it is. We had never seen anything like it before! Every tomb and monument has its own unique style, and walking through feels like exploring an open-air museum full of history and art. The atmosphere is peaceful yet impressive, and we were incredibly impressed by the details and architecture throughout. Definitely a must-see when visiting Buenos Aires!

Very cool, it's like an artistic, ornamental city for the dead. But, I really hope that they are putting the money that they charge into upkeep. There was full tree growing out of one and tiny plants everywhere who's roots are going to wreck a lot of these monuments (even if some of the plants look cool, like the tree growing out of the pillar) Maybe there's an argument for families being in charge of the upkeep, but not all families may still be around, especially after the last dictatorship. And it's a big tourist attraction.. put the money into it

A really unique place and well worth a visit. It feels more like an open-air museum than a cemetery, with amazing sculptures, grand tombs, and a lot of history. Many well-known figures are buried here, and there is a mix of old and some surprisingly modern designs. Some parts are quite run down though. A few tombs have been left to crumble and look half-collapsed, which is a bit sad to see. The entry fee for foreigners is ARS 18,000 per person, which is pretty steep for Argentina. Hopefully that money is being used to help with maintenance. Still, a memorable spot and a must-see if you are in Buenos Aires.

Very cool experience! It’s so cool to be able to go and see such an interesting part of Argentinian history as well as the beautiful mausoleums. I definitely recommend checking it out!

Casa Rosada is a must-visit in Buenos Aires! The iconic pink presidential palace is not only beautiful but also rich in history. The free guided tours provide fascinating insights into Argentina’s political past and the stunning architecture inside. Even if you don’t go inside, the view from Plaza de Mayo is impressive, especially at sunset. Highly recommend for history buffs and photographers alike!

It is a striking, pink presidential palace and government headquarters of Argentina, located in Buenos Aires, presiding over the historic Plaza de Mayo. Known officially as the House of Government, it serves as the official workplace for the President of Argentina and is a significant historical landmark, famous for events like Eva Perón's addresses from its balcony. It is considered one of the most emblematic buildings in Buenos Aires. Current President apparently only uses it for official functions. Very popular place, lots of tourists and locals. Easy terrain, lot of easy walking. Fee charged for entry. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen.

Housing the Presidential Offices, it’s the seat of Executive Power of Argentina. It’s an imposing palatial Italianate architecture (a spin off from Italian Renaissance) at the back end of Plaza de Mayo. 🏛️🏛️🏛️ The building (finished in late 1800s) seats on a historically important fort that was built by the Spanish crown back in the 1500s. Casa Rosada is unusual in its pink color. *** One version of the story is, the color is an attempt to neutralize colors of political parties. *** The other is a more architectural one: the original government house was painted with white combined with animal blood. Blood seals the paint to protect the building from humidity (the palace sits on a swamp area of the city). The Pink color becomes very strikingly vivid at night when the palace is very well lit. 🏛️ In front of Casa Rosada is the equestrian statue of General Belgrano, one of the leaders of May Revolution of Independence. 🏛️ at the foot of the monument is Buenos Aires’ COVID Memorial for those who succumbed to the pandemic. Names of the departed are painted or engraved on the pile of stones.

The Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires is an absolutely beautiful place! It’s full of history and culture, with stunning and well-preserved architecture that truly stands out. The building is elegant and impressive, located in an excellent area surrounded by a lovely park and many nearby attractions. It’s definitely a must-visit spot in the city a true symbol of Buenos Aires’ history and beauty!

The Casa Rosada stands as the undeniable, iconic heart of Argentine political history, instantly recognizable by its distinctive, soft pink facade that dominates the eastern side of the historic Plaza de Mayo. More than just the official seat of the President, this architectural marvel - a blend of Italianate and French elements - is a powerful symbol of national governance, having been the silent witness to countless pivotal moments in the country's turbulent and fascinating narrative. Its commanding presence, especially when viewed against the backdrop of the city, evokes a sense of enduring authority and historical weight, inviting visitors to reflect on Argentina's rich democratic journey. Seeing this landmark up close provides an essential connection to the nation's identity and its public life.

Casa Rosada: The Political Heart of Buenos Aires 🏩🇦🇷 The Casa Rosada is one of the most iconic symbols of Buenos Aires and Argentina. Located in Plaza de Mayo, this magnificent building serves as the seat of the Executive Power of the country and is a historical landmark that attracts visitors from around the globe. Its name, which means "Pink House," comes from its distinctive pink color, a result of mixing lime with natural pigments. The architecture is a blend of neoclassical and baroque styles, making it even more impressive. The building was constructed in the late 19th century and has a rich history that reflects the highs and lows of Argentine politics. One of the most iconic features of the Casa Rosada is its famous balcony, where Argentine presidents, including Eva Perón, addressed the people during historic moments. This balcony has become a symbol of connection between the government and its citizens. Visitors can take guided tours to explore the interiors of Casa Rosada, which include luxurious halls and spaces filled with history. The tour provides fascinating insights into Argentine politics and significant events that have shaped the country. Additionally, Plaza de Mayo in front of Casa Rosada is a vibrant location surrounded by other historical buildings, such as the Metropolitan Cathedral and Cabildo. It’s a great place to stroll, take photos, and soak in the unique atmosphere of the city.

On my previous trip to Buenos Aires before C-19, you were allowed to go inside. They had guided tours. I believe they have stopped this now. However, it is still worth going to see the exterior of this historical building. Throughout the history of Buenos Aires, the location of Casa Rosada was the seat of various successive political authorities who governed the country. The first thing you are likely to notice is the distinctive colour. It was from the balcony here, at the presidential palace, that Eva Perón famously addressed the throngs of impassioned supporters packed into Plaza de Mayo.

Catholic church where Pope Francis, as Archbishop, used to perform Mass before becoming Pope. It is now become Pope Francis Museum and a major attraction for tourists visiting the beautiful city Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷

Metropolitan cathedral Buenos. One of the most beautiful places on earth. I have seen people drawing, some praying, some capturing photos and some crying in worship. It's beautiful. Love you Argentina from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

While it’s history traces back to late 1500s when Jesuit friars constructed their first church using mud, wood and adobe, the present day building 3rd cathedral) was built in the late 1770s without the facade… The facade was completed in the early 1800s just before or around the independence of Argentina. As is today, this is a typical Neoclassical architecture. Simple flat lines, simple columns. Certainly none of the ostentatious decorations of the Baroque or Spanish Baroque, nor the grandeur of the Renaissance. Elegant and sturdy building nonetheless. The interior has a grand nave and aisles. High rounded ceilings. There are the typical idols as one expects from the catholic organization. This was once the seat of archbishop Bergoglio, before he was elected pope and called himself Francis. THERE ARE TWO NOTABLE FACTS about this place. 🏛️ 🏛️🏛️ this is when the remains of General San Martin lay. He is considered one of the founding fathers of Argentina who led during the May Revolution of Independence. His remains were brought from France in 1880 and placed in a mausoleum. 🎨🎨🎨 the other is a Sculpture of Barefooted Man Wrapped in Blanket on one side of the pillars near the high altar… titled “Cristo de Los Pobres”.

One of Buenos Aires’ most iconic landmarks, this building houses the tomb of the great liberator José de San Martín. Majestic in scale, its architecture stands out from other colonial cathedrals in Latin America. Inside, you’ll find touches of Latin American-style baroque decoration. You’ll likely pass by it while exploring the city, and it’s well worth taking 15–20 minutes to step inside and visit.

Beautiful cathedral, building is well maintained and it's very inviting. Worth stopping in to look at if you're nearby.

It is located in the city centre, overlooking Plaza de Mayo in the San Nicolás neighbourhood. It is the mother church of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires and held the rank of Primatial church of Argentina from 1822 to 2024. The cathedral was declared a National Historic Monument in 1942. The Cathedral of Buenos Aires is a Latin cross building with transept and three-aisles with side chapels connected by corridors. Fair bit of walking around under shade. Popular store with tourists. Great place for photography. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Lovely interior and external craftwork.

Beautiful church, free to enter. Worth while tot pop in if closeby to see Casa Rosado. Was there at 16:45-ish and saw a ‘changing of the guards’

This "Woman's Bridge" is a rotating footbridge at Puerto Madero commercial district of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is of the cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge type and is also a swing bridge, but somewhat unusual arrangement. The architect has described the design as representing the image of a couple dancing the tango. Popular place with tourists walking across it. Lots of people here, careful with personal belongings. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Free entry. Beautiful place. Lots to see. Toilets available. Cafes and restaurants available.

Puente de la Mujer in Buenos Aires is absolutely stunning, especially at night when it’s beautifully illuminated. It really leaves an impression – a true masterpiece of modern architecture. Elegant, sleek, and symbolic, it’s one of the city’s most iconic landmarks and definitely worth seeing in person.

Spectacular frim all angles and very photogenic. This architectural wonder is worth a visit in the day and also around sunset. See my pic for why.

Nice little stroll in Buenos Aires. Little crowded at night. Great location for photo-op, especially at night when the bridge is lit up. Close to San Telmo and Dorrego Square, can combine into late afternoon, night time enjoyment.

A nice place to visit in Buenos Aires, very interesting architecturally. Lots of restaurants and cafes around, very lively place. Several street performers add to the magic of this place. It is especially nice to watch the sunset. A very pleasant neighborhood in the city.

Puerto Madero, as is the case with many of the neighborhoods in Buenos Aires, has its own incredibly unique vibe, most prominently displayed here of course by the bridge. Paired with the history of its name, its elegance is easily appreciated and recognized

This is me and my mom’s favorite place!! We went there the first weekend we were in Argentina. It was really funn, there was a small disco place as well. At night it was really pretty, they put music everywhere, bars, shops, and restaurants. At the afternoon it was adorable, just watching the sunset with a cup of coffee was literal therapy. They have many different restaurants and bars. I definitely recommend going there 10/10 experience. Get a friend because you can’t drink alone 🤷‍♀️😉

The view is great both during day and night time. We were lucky to be able to see it form the balcony of our hotel.

It’s a towering symbol of Buenos Aires. Erected in 1936, it’s a commemoration of the quadricentennial of the founding of the city. Through its short history, it has been used to express the city’s sentiments such as *** the capping of its tip with condom during one year of World AIDS Day or *** during a launch of Germany-Argentina cooperation. It’s also the site of Argentina’s Celebration of a recent World Cup Football Championship by the national team.

It is a national historic monument and icon of Buenos Aires. Located in the Plaza de la República. Erected in 1936 to commemorate the quadricentennial of the first foundation of the city. Its height is 67.5 metres (221 ft), and 63 metres (207 ft) of these are up to the initiation of the apex, which is 3.5 by 3.5 meters (11 by 11 ft). It can be seen from far away in the city. Very crowded level terrain, lots of walking though. Cafes and restaurants available. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen.

One of the major andgreatest landmark in buenosaires. . It is visible from plaza, the Mayo. And is a must-visit when here. The 9th Julio avenue is a long, long stretch, showing the energy of both locals and tourists. You will find a lot of tourists queuing up to take pictures from both sides. Especially the BA also in all the blocks. If he has a tourist, you get lost. This make landmark structure which I have also seen in u. S Washington and in Egypt brings you back to where you were. So it's a very, very important landmark and it's so beautiful. A lot of restaurants nearby. And it's a great visit definitely

Beautiful by day, and also by night. You can take photos in front of the BA sign, or across the road from the raised viewing platform.

Similar in look to the Washington Monument but half its size, the 235' tall concrete and white stone Obelisco of Buenos Aires was completed in 1936. Built to commemorate the city's 400th anniversary, it was completed in only 31 days! There are viewing windows at the top with staircase access only, but it was never open to the public for some reason. An ugly chain link fence surrounds the base, erected to deter vandalism. Way back in the day, some people broke in and spilled paint from the windows at the top. OVERALL: While it's nothing but a landmark with a wasted viewing platform, photo ops are good because of two tall bushes cut to form the letters "B A" that fronts the oblisque.

Beautiful monument in the center of Buenos Aires that I recommend visiting at night.

Cool little square, we especially loved the contrast in colors between the orange and green. A good reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding city, well worth a stop over for a picnic and a quick afternoon siesta.

Nice place to hang out, the craft fair is great there are tons of things you can buy. You can sit in the grass and have mates, read or just hang out with friends and family. If you feel like it, you can get up afterwards and go to one of the bars in the outside part of the former Buenos Aires design shopping which is closed except for those bars and pubs.

Beautiful experience..Plaza Francia. . Nice Place to take relax..for Adults and Family..located in the Middle of Busy City..I really recommend it

Plaza Francia (Spanish: "France Square") is a public square in the barrio of Recoleta in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The nearby Plaza Intendente Alvear is commonly but mistakenly known by the same name. It was created by a Municipal Ordinance on October 19, 1909, as part of the changes introduced in the urban landscape on the occasion of the Argentina Centennial. Designed by French landscape architecture Carlos Thays, it is part of a broad set of squares including Plaza Intendente Alvear, Plaza San Martín de Tours, Plaza Juan XXIII, Plaza Ramón J. Cárcano, Plaza Dante and Plaza Rubén Darío, among others

Great for shopping for home. Full of bars on the roof. There’s restaurant with my name, so that means it’s a great place.

Street market from the vans and big queues for fresh vegetables and fruits . So colorful

Awesome place to be out there, especially on summer weekends. The place is full of activities and so full of energy.

I liked this place!! We went on a weekend so it was really busy, there was a small line but we went in quickly (you just show the worker your DNI) we didn’t pay anything As we entered there was a big hallway with many entrances, as we went in the second door we saw many paintings and many different things that represented different cultures. These paintings and drawing inspired me alot. They also have a cafe and the thing that attracted me the most is a “sala de trabajo” or a big room full of people studying. Me and my mom really liked it, its a nice place to spend a weekend at !!

Absolutely amazing, I definitely recommend checking it out! Each art installation was beautiful and unique, as well as there being a cafe, multiple outdoor common spaces, a dance studio, and so much more!

I went with a small group on a weekday morning. There weren't many people. It is a nice space to meet friends or visit exhibits. The court yards are beautiful. Recommended.

Beatiful spot for walking, shopping, having a great dinner and maybe see some tango dancers on the street. You can also enter to the cementery where Evita Peron was burried and see the amazing architecture of graves.

They charge the tourists 6000 ARS for entrance and nothing from argentinians. Not much interesting to see or do inside since most expositions are “being prepared”. Also, you have to pay extra 14000 ARS to access the interactive science museum, which is not warned before you pay to get in.

We visited one the open day when they celebrated the Dia del Muerto. What a great day!

A fantastic place for art, aggregation and relaxation. Part art gallery, with changing exhibitions, part co-working space, part garden where to chill with a book or with friends, everything is completely free of charge and so this cultural center really works as a place of aggregation, especially for young people. The brightly coloured facade gets repainted in a new theme every few months and it is always stunning. A great resource for the city and an absolute must-see as a tourist.

This was my first time visiting Galerías Pacífico, and it truly lived up to its reputation as a must-see destination in Buenos Aires. The architecture is absolutely stunning, and the murals throughout the building offer a rich visual experience. With a wide variety of shops and dining options, there’s something for everyone. The Centro Cultural Borges adds an extra cultural layer, making the visit feel more meaningful than a typical shopping trip. Overall, Galerías Pacífico beautifully captures the diverse and vibrant spirit of Buenos Aires.

Galerías Pacífico is not just a shopping mall, it is a piece of Buenos Aires history. Built in the late 1800s in a Beaux Arts style, the building was originally inspired by Le Bon Marché in Paris. Over the years it served as home to the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and later the offices of the Buenos Aires and Pacific Railway before becoming the shopping and cultural landmark it is today. The architecture alone is worth the visit with its high arched ceilings, murals and elegant design that make it one of the most beautiful malls anywhere. Beyond the shops you will find decent restaurants, a couple of nice bars and the Centro Cultural Borges which adds an artistic touch to the experience. A mix of history, culture and modern shopping under one roof Galerías Pacífico is definitely worth a stop whether you are shopping, dining or just admiring the building itself.

One of the fancier malls I've been to, up there with the Avenues Mall in Kuwait. A food court is on the lower levels with a variety of offerings, and you have your general mid to high tier shopping options throughout the rest of the mall. Place has fascinating architecture, and also has a museum on the top floor.

If you are looking for international brands or just a place to get some refreshment, visiting Galerías Pacífico to admire the architecture and take a nice break to rest up and get going.

One of the most beautiful shopping centre I have been in. Better then Chadstone 🤣 Really high quality stores inside. Wonderful food court

This is the most beautiful mall that I've ever been too! The art is gorgeous, just like a museum! Most of the stores are extremely expensive, but with really good selection! The food court is surprisingly tasty as well! I've had great salads and pastas there!

Beautiful gallery, but without thst many options of stores. I recommend visiting it there though.

This was voted one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world, and I can see why. The decor, atmosphere, displays and selection of books and vynal records makes this not only a bookstore but a destination. We had coffee, next to the old lighting switch board and stared in awe of the beauty of the paintings on the ceiling. It was crowded but it made it a little more exciting. That's something you see in an average bookstore, absolutely fabulous.

El Ateneo Grand Splendid is hands down one of my favourite places in the world!! As someone who loves theatre, soulful music, architecture, history, and, of course, books, this space felt like all my passions collided in the most beautiful way. 📚🎭🎶 Housed in a former theatre, it’s one of the most ornate, nostalgic, and inspiring places I’ve ever visited. It’s masterfully designed, beautifully executed and such a thoughtful way to preserve a piece of Argentine history. ✨ There’s something truly magical about browsing books from within theatre boxes or sitting on the former stage, now a charming café, enjoying an apple tart with my family while imagining the performers who once stood there. We visited multiple times and spent several hours here each visit. The music section was a standout for me, especially the rich collection of world music and the incredible opera vinyls. It was soulful, global, and deeply inspiring. El Ateneo brought back memories of the bookstores I used to frequent in high school and university, places like Borders, where I could lose hours in the aisles. It was especially meaningful to pick up books by Argentine authors I’d never encountered before. The children’s section was also wonderful! A perfect place to find Spanish books for my son, many of which we still read together today. If you’re a book lover, theatre enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates beautiful spaces steeped in history and culture, El Ateneo Grand Splendid absolutely deserves a spot on your bucket list. An incredible experience!

This is a must see bookstore, so impressive; built in a former theater with thousands of books in a really impressive building. Open till 6PM. There is also a small section with English books. There are also some balconies where you can sit to read in a really nice environment, but were unfortunately almost occupied every time. We also went for a drink in the Havanna cafeteria, which is in the back of the bookstore.

A truly lovely bookshop, repurposing a beautiful old theatre. With places to take a book to read, this place provides a calm space amidst the hustle & bustle of Buenos Aires. Personally I loved the vinyl records section. Free to enter and with no queue, there is also a cafe and toilets. A ‘must visit’ place.

If you like books, then you’re definitely at the right place. Down stairs they have a space for children’s books and music. Really loved to see it and I didn’t want to miss it.

This old theater, which is now a large bookstore, is well worth seeing. It's beautiful! There is also a café inside, but the service is very slow and there are better places to go. If you want to buy a book, there are very few staff members to help you. It takes some time to find someone.

El Ateneo Grand Splendid is truly one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world! Located inside a stunning old theater, it’s an absolute must-see when visiting Buenos Aires. The moment you walk in, you’re amazed by the elegant architecture, the preserved stage and balconies, and the beautiful ceiling details that make the whole place feel magical. The atmosphere is calm and inspiring perfect for book lovers or anyone who enjoys art and culture. You can browse through an incredible selection of books, sit and read quietly, or simply admire the beauty of the building. There’s also a charming café set right on the former stage, where you can enjoy a coffee while taking in the view of this magnificent place. It’s not just a bookstore it’s a unique cultural experience that combines history, architecture, and literature all in one. Absolutely worth visiting, even if you’re not a big reader!
