Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Recoleta, Capital Federal District

July 29, 2021 Moriah Teneyck

The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

Cemiterio de Recoleta

The most celebrated Argentineans, including Eva Peron and her family, are buried at this elaborate cemetery, where mausoleums replicate chapels, pyramids and Greek temples.

Likely best to do this with a local tour guide ( We used Class Adventure Travel who provided us with a guide named Santiago who was superb.). A private guide can customize according to your interests, can tell you about the various tombs....there are many very specific historical stories about those who are buried here and a local guide will be able to elaborate which makes it even more interesting. Early morning is better before the big tour buses arrive.

Recoleta

This fashionable, upscale neighborhood is lined with cafes, boutiques and galleries and morphs into a street fair on weekends.

This is a lovely place for walking on week days (on weekends is full of people) and visit the Recoleta's church, the Recoleta's cementery, the Fine Arts museum, have a "café" in La biela "Remarkable bar", go shopping in the elegant Alvear Avenue or Recoleta Mall or eating in a lot of restaurants.

Argentine chapel built in the 1700s.

Lovely church from the colonial times. Recently discovered some tunnels that join the main churches made to escape in case of invasion. I specially love the altar.

Gomero de la Recoleta

Reviewed By rgottesman - Acton, United States

Just outside the famous Recoleta Cemetary is this massively huge old gum tree. So big many of its wide limbs are held up by several wooden and iron jack posts, often creatively installed (like Atlas holding up a limb). The park in which this tree sits is also very beautiful. You won't likely "see" the tree as you expect branches everywhere in a park like this. But take a closer look and you'll see it's actually ONE tree. No, we didn't come here to see the tree (we came to see the cemetery) but while waiting for the rest of our party we explored this park and were so amazed to find this ancient treasure right in the middle of everything.
