Nature and Open Air in Buenos Aires

Woods and lakes. Squares. An ecologic reservoir. Two coastal areas or Costaneras (North and South). Willow and alder woods.

Exploring Buenos Aires

If you have 3 days plan to spend half a day around Plaza de Mayo, El Centro, San Telmo, La Boca, Palermo, and La Recoleta. If you are in town on a weekend, visit La Recoleta on Saturday and San Telmo and La Boca on Sunday in order to visit the neighborhoods' outdoor arts-and-crafts markets. If you are in town on weekdays, stick to Palermo on Monday or Tuesday; its outdoor offerings will be open, whereas most museums are closed one of those two days. Schedule time for a siesta to allow you a lengthy night out at a club, bar, or performance, or an evening of tango.

Buenos Aires has a mix of styles.

Unlike most other Latin American cities, where the architecture reveals a strong Spanish colonial influence, Buenos Aires has a mix of styles. Modern high-rises sit side by side with ornate buildings from days long gone. At every turn you'll be reminded of the city's European heritage: with their boulevards lined with palatial mansions and spacious parks, the neighborhoods of El Centro, La Recoleta and Belgrano evoke Rome, Madrid, Paris, and Budapest. The Plazas of Palermo and Belgrano mirror those in Paris; Rome's Pantheon inspired the Parroquia de Nuestra Señora; the Avenida de Mayo has been compared to both Madrid and Budapest; and the Vatican Embassy on Avenida Alvear replicates the Jacquemart-Andre Museum in Paris. San Telmo and La Boca have a distinctly working-class Italian feel, in contrast to the stately aplomb of Plaza de Mayo and Avenida de Mayo.
