What to expect
El Ateneo Grand Splendid
The Ateneo Grand Splendid was chosen by the British newspaper The Guardian as the second most important bookstore in the world. Erected over the old Grand Splendid cinema theater in the Recoleta neighborhood, it retains its former splendor and elegance, with the dome decorated with frescoes, the original railings and the decoration intact. On the old stage – with the velvet curtain slightly open – there is a bar that invites you to sit down with a book in hand. You can also take advantage of the armchairs that are on both sides of the main room or sit in the exclusive boxes that function as small reading rooms. In the basement there is a sector dedicated to children's books, and the upper floor is dedicated to samples and exhibitions.
20 minutes
It is located in the exclusive neighborhood of Recoleta, which owes its name to the fact that the convent of the Recollect monks was located there, to which the neighboring Basilica Nuestra Señora del Pilar also belonged (the cemetery was built in the old monks' garden). ). It is the most visited in the city, due to its numerous and imposing mausoleums and vaults, belonging to many of the main protagonists of Argentine history, such as that of Eva Perón (Evita), one of the most popular tombs. Likewise, it deserves a visit for its architectural value, since it is a sample of the times when the country was an emerging economic power and the main families of the city competed to build splendid pantheons. Many of the vaults and mausoleums are the work of important architects and are adorned with marble and sculpture; more than 90 vaults have been declared a National Historical Monument.

This imposing 20-meter-high sculpture that dominates the United Nations Square was donated to the City of Buenos Aires by its author, the Argentine architect Eduardo Catalano. It is made of stainless steel and aluminum and weighs 18 tons. It is the first moving sculpture controlled by a hydraulic system and photoelectric cells. The work was inaugurated on April 13, 2002. Its name, "Floralis Generica", is a tribute to all flowers. It is the projection of a dream of its creator, that of building a large-scale structure that reflects the dynamism of our time.
20 minutes
Rosedal De Palermo
Inside the Parque 3 de Febrero, in Palermo, is the Rosedal, with a collection of more than 18,000 roses and a lake that surrounds it. It occupies a space that belonged to the fifth of Juan Manuel de Rosas, until he was defeated on February 3, 1852 in the battle of Caseros. The work began with the landscaper Carlos Thays, the same one who built the Botanical Garden, the Avellaneda Park and the Lezama Park, among others. Later, his disciple Benito Carrasco finished it in 1914. Every July, when the pruning season begins, neighbors and tourists approach the gardeners to receive flowers or cuttings from which new species can be reproduced. In this way, in winter the rosebushes bloom healthy and strong to reach the maximum point of development in October.
30 minutes
Surrounded by the Palermo Woods, the Japanese Garden is a corner of Buenos Aires that falls in love with whoever visits it. Built in 1967 on the occasion of the visit of the Emperor of Japan Akihito and his wife Michiko, it is the largest Japanese-style garden outside Japan. Walking surrounded by bonsai, azaleas, kokedamas, orchids and cement lanterns is an unforgettable pleasure.
45 minutes
Admission Not Included
It is a palace located in front of the Plaza de Mayo that functions as the seat of the National Government. This imposing pink building occupies the site where the Fort of Buenos Aires was erected in 1580. It was the residence of Spanish viceroys and later housed, with some reforms, the authorities of successive national governments. The current building is the product of the merger of two previous constructions: the presidential headquarters and the Palacio de Correos (on the corner of Hipólito Yrigoyen and Balcarce).
40 minutes
Avenida de Mayo
The Avenue that connect the Pink house and the Congres Building. Inspired by the Gran Vía in Madrid, Avenida de Mayo is one of the largest and most important arteries in Buenos Aires. It runs through the city from Plaza de Mayo with the Casa Rosada at one end, to the National Congress building at the other. Officially opened in 1894, it is worth going through, as it is like taking a trip through the entire history of the city.
20 minutes
Mercado San Telmo
Located in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Buenos Aires. It is a large indoor market located in the San Telmo neighborhood. Although it preserves old shops selling vegetables and meat, today it is a tourist spot and there are plenty of antique dealers. The old "neighborhood" stalls that have been preserved for several decades coexist with the more recent and related antique dealers, such as the tourist boom in San Telmo. The building also includes some premises that have their own entrance from the street, including greengrocers, liquor stores, a restaurant and two notable bars: "San Pedro Telmo", and "La Coruña".
40 minutes
Caminito
Caminito is the most famous pedestrian street in Buenos Aires. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city due to its colorful houses and its deep historical and cultural significance. Caminito is located in the popular La Boca neighborhood, on the Riachuelo River coast and only 400 meters from La Bombonera, the Boca Juniors stadium. It is a 150 meter long curved pedestrian promenade where important artistic works can be seen.
