What to do and see in Balvanera, Capital Federal District: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

January 5, 2022 Merry Kessler

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.

Plaza Francia

Reviewed By WorldTravelers34 - Chicago, United States

We visited this beautiful plaza/park during a recent visit to Buenos Aires. Plaza Francia (Spanish: "France Square") is a public square in the barrio of Recoleta in Buenos Aires. 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.
