This museum used to be a fancy hotel, way back when immigrants from various nationalities (British, French, Italian, German, Swiss...) had their rowing clubs in the neighbourhood. Then, after the second World War, the area become less frequented (or fashionable, I should say) and the hotel became less used until it was abandoned (literally). Now recovered and refurbished as a museum, it has become a nice place to visit. The surrounding area is also quite unique, with the Lujan River as background: numerous cafés, bars, and BBQ restaurants. Nice place to go for a stroll.

Stopped here prior to our Tigre Delta tour. Built on the site of a 1706 chapel opened by the city's founder, Captain Domingo de Acassuso, the Cathedral was designed by French architects Dunant and Paquin, and inaugurated on July 14, 1898. It is constructed in neogothic style and it stands 68 m tall. Although bathed in brilliant Sunshine externally, the interior was dark and gloomy and not conducive to photography without flash. Interesting Cathedral but not a "must see".

What fun for kids and adults! Thrills galore, friendly and competent staff, and not too expensive if you come from abroad. Very effective crowd management: the circuits were never crowded even though it was midterm vacation time for schools. Equipment in great condition, pretty decent food at the concession. Highly recommended. Keep in mind that kids under 1.25m won't be able to use the fun circuits.
5. Barco Bruma

Bruma is a typical wooden boat which used to carry timber from the Islands. We refurbished it to do private tours for 2 up to 25 pax. Bruma has a large roofed area on the stern for 8 pax seated. There is a comfortable solarium area. We offer barbeque lunch or dinner on board with Argentine typical specialties and a Malbec to top it all. Run by its owners.

Our tour of the Tigre Delta onboard the Barco Bruma (meaning misty) was a pleasant experience. First of all, Rosana and Captain Chuck are really nice friendly people and excellent hosts. Although a bit old, the boat was clean and comfortable with lots of room for our party of 16 people. Services from Rosana’s 3 staff were excellent and attentive. Food (sausage Sandwich, BBQ lomo - beef tenderloin, cheese and salad) were great with free flowing wines, beer, soft drinks and juice. The river and channels were very active. It was a wonderful place to see and feel how the upper middle class residents of Buenos Aires spent their holiday – sailing, swimming, jet and water skiing, sunbathing, picnicking, etc. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable day indeed - a perfect ending for our Patagonia trip. One caution though, make sure you and Rosana have a clear and common understanding on who is arranging transportation from your hotel to the docking location. We found out that we were supposed to have arranged our own transportation when we confirmed our tour with Rosana. Fortunately, Rosana was able to find another company to pick us up and bring us back to our hotel in short notice. Transportation was about 45 minutes each way.

We booked a tour on the Sturla Boat Ride of the Tigre Delta. We were picked up at our hotel with a tourist bus, comfortable. Before reaching the pier we stopped at Quinta Los Ombues, an old colonial house. The home furnishings were from the colonial era. The Gardens were beautiful with a view of the River Plate. The guide was informative explaining life in colonial times. Worth a visit on the way to Tigre. No entrance fee.

This is the place where Victoria Ocampo spent much of her life and hosted a good number of historic leaders and cultural personalities from all around the world, from Rabindranath Tagore to Federico García Lorca, Graham Greene, Albert Camus or Jorge Luis Borges, the list is endless. The house itself is elegant but not extravagant, and the Gardens, the library and the book collections makes this an unmissable visit if you are interested in getting to know more about this uncompromising, unique woman. The house was given to the UNESCO by the explicit wish of Mrs.Ocampo who wanted this place to be kept aside of all political turbulence in Argentina.

A tranquil Zen garden complete with fish ponds and an arched bridge even offers a traditional tea house.
Reviewed By Drive_Tardy86 - Leighton Buzzard, United Kingdom
We stumbled upon the Japanese Gardens after visiting the rose Gardens and the Planetarium. We paid about 120 pesos each to enter and stayed in the Gardens for a couple of hours or so.
The Gardens were interesting and were an unexpected little relaxing oasis in the middle of the busy city
9. Recoleta Cemetery

The most celebrated Argentineans, including Eva Peron and her family, are buried at this elaborate cemetery, where mausoleums replicate chapels, pyramids and Greek temples.
Reviewed By UrbanDrifter - Melbourne
I know, who visits a cemetery and writes a review? It was a place I came across with a fellow traveller and thought - why not? Although our language skills were limited, we could make out much of the inscriptions on the grave sites. It was fascinating to see whole generations of families buried here, the decorations, the flowers, the tributes to past loved ones.
Some of the tombs are enormous and clearly go back a very long time.
A must visit if you're in Buenos Aires.
Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly.
