10 must see places in Buenos Aires


Buenos Aires is a wonderful city to visit, it can be a pleasure not only for the hospitality, food, tango and football, but also by those incredible places that you can not miss if you visit the city.
The 10 places not to miss when traveling to Buenos Aires, to my taste, are:



1 - The Obelisco and Avenida 9 de Julio, undisputed symbols of Buenos Aires, located downtown, near major hotels and with very easy access, on the Avenida 9 de Julio you can have beautiful views to the north and south of the city.



2 - La Boca, one of the oldest neighborhoods of the city, where thousands of immigrants spent their early years in Argentina. Its symbol is Caminito, a street with quaint houses painted and where local artists exhibit their works.



3 - Puerto Madero, the newest neighborhood in the city, its modern buildings contrast with the calm that permeates the neighborhood, the old buildings on the docks, now recycled, are a symbol of Puerto Madero, with restaurants to spend beautiful moments.



4 - Teatro Colón, one of the most important theaters in the world, recently recycled, is a place that no visitor should miss.



5 - Museo de Bellas Artes, where you can see works of the most important artists of Argentina and the world, it is a place for art lovers.



6 - San Telmo, where tango and antiques breathe in this neighborhood, you can enjoy outdoor entertainment and visit the many antique shops that exist in the neighborhood.



7 - Recoleta, one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the city, with fine restaurants and where you can visit the Recoleta Cemetery. Founded in 1822 by the Recoletos monks, is internationally renowned for having famous sculptures, tombs and mausoleums of illustrious Argentine families.



8 - Cabildo, Plaza de Mayo, the Cathedral, the Casa Rosada and Avenida de Mayo are emblematic places of Buenos Aires, with a rich history, places that are within a radius very close to each other and that can be visited on foot . Avenida de Mayo is best known for its European flavor, with cafes that represent the city as the Café Tortoni.



9 - Plaza San Martin, located in the neighborhood of Retiro, is a beautiful place, with a view towards Retiro train terminal, Santa Fe Avenue and Florida Street very near. Major hotels are located nearby as the Plaza Hotel and Sheraton Hotel & Towers.



10 - Bosques de Palermo, consisting of 25 hectares, is a lung for the city, has three artificial lakes, a rose garden and a hosts renowned gardens such as the Garden of the Poets where there are sculptures of famous writers like William Shakespeare, Paul Groussac, Alfonsina Storni, Dante Alighieri, Federico García Lorca and Antonio Machado, among others.
