Buenos Aires Things to Do Tips by bonio

Recoleta Cemetery Recoleta - Cementerio de la Recoleta Review

First thoughts were that it's a little strange to make a cemetery such a big attraction, but it is interesting to see where the great and the good of Buenos Aires end up. Some of these places are bigger than my house I'm sure!

Address: Junin 1760

Directions: Next to Basilica Nuestra Señora del Pilar

Phone: 4804-7040 & 4803-1594.

Other places we saw.

Including Av Florida the main shopping street, didn't stay there long! The Falklands memorial, the Floralis Generica monument and Government house.

Puerto Madero Puerto Madero and Catalina's Review

Regeneration of the old port area, as seen in many cities these days. A popular place to visit on a warm morning, good place to people watch!

Av 9 Juilio and Obelisk 9 de Julio Avenue Review

Major and busy road running through the city. Walked along the pedestrianised area between the traffic heading towards the Obelisk, there are plenty of seats and at the time we visited the trees were in bloom, it was pretty pleasant!

Bus Turistico City Tours Review

Open top bus tour, a good way to get first impressions of an unfamiliar city.
An interesting 90 minutes or so, passing many of the major sights, giving some ideas of places to visit later.
Commentary in several languages on the headsets.

Directions: Main ticket office and tour begins on Av Florida at the tourist info booth
