Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral

The Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral (Spanish: Catedral Metropolitana de Buenos Aires) is the main Catholic church in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is located in the city centre, overlooking Plaza de Mayo, on the corner of San Martín and Rivadavia streets, in the San Nicolás neighbourhood. It is the mother church of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires.

The Cathedral of Buenos Aires was rebuilt several times since its humble origins in the 16th century. The present building is a mix of architectural styles, with a 18th century nave and dome and a severe, 19th century Neoclassical façade without towers. The interior keeps precious 18th century statues and altarpieces, as well as abundant Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Baroque decoration.

Casa Rosada

Visits to the Casa Rosada palace: Monday to Friday 4pm - Visits to the museum: Monday to Friday 11am to 2:30pm; Sunday 3pm to 4:30pm - Museum's Timetable: Monday to Friday: 10am to 6pm - Sunday: 2pm to 6pm.

Located in front of May Square, this is the Seat of the National Government. This pink color has nothing to do with a pro-gay tendency, but to the decision of former President Sarmiento, who in 1873 ordered to paint it that color symbolizing the union between two political parties, the Federal (represented by the red) and the Unitarian (represented by the white). Inside there is a museum where we find many articles belonging to the different presidents of Argentina. Subway Line A exit Estacion Plaza de Mayo would be a means of transportation from your Buenos Aires apartments rentals.

Florida Street

This pedestrian street is always filled with people, it starts near May Square (Plaza de Mayo) and ends in the beautiful San Martin Square (Plaza San Martin). Ideal for seeing interesting people (like the living statues or couples tangoing), buying newspapers from all over the world, leather goods, souvenirs, etc. Subway Line A - Exit at Estacion Peru.

Plaza de Mayo (May Square)

Located between Rivadavia and Hipolito Yrigoyen Avs. and Bolivar and Balcarce Streets. The first place to visit. Located in downtown, this is the city's most historical place. Argentina's most important events happened here. May Revolution of 1810, the Constitution of 1860, the massive Peronist concentration of 1945, the events of December 2001 ...

Every Thursday the Mothers of May Square gather here to claim for their missing children. In front of the Square we see the Casa Rosada (seat of the National Government), the City Hall and the House of Culture, the Cabildo and the Cathedral. Warning: watch out with the pigeons of the Square ... They can leave you a "present". You can buy corn or bread to feed them. Subway Line A exit at Estacion Plaza de Mayo.

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.
