- Michael BBellflower, CA24,432 contributionsThe Casa Rosada building occupies the site where a Spanish riverbank fort once stood; today, after repeated landfills, the palace stands more than 1km inland.
This initial four-floor building started to be a Post Office and then a Government House. It was completed in 1898, partially demolished, and modified in 1938.
The Casa Rosada, literally the(Pink House) was named for its distinctive pink walls, caused by mixing white paint with bovine blood, a common practice in the late 19th century; today it is the president of the Argentine Republic's official workplace, located in Buenos Aires. The palatial mansion is known officially as Casa de Gobierno.
From its balcony here in the past, Eva Perón famously addressed her supporters who packed into Plaza de Mayo.
They no longer offer free tours of the building, but you can watch the lowering of the national flag ceremony. While one of the guardsmen plays the bugle, the other guards salute with their sabres.
There is not much shade, so go early before the heat of the day and the gathering of the tourists and protesters.
TIP: The interesting Museo Casa Rosada is located just behind the palace.

They also opened a small museum inside. It costs $3 donation for the church and you see a short exhibition of artifacts belonging to the church. Some items are hundreds of year old, our guide was very nice and explained what we saw. Definitely a nice stop along the way.Written August 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- PBPGYorkshire, UK7,561 contributionsCame across this statue as we were walking round the Ricoleta area. IKt is set in a plaza and makes a more subdued attraction in an area of high colour and extreme architectureWritten January 31, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mathew MMelbourne, Australia550 contributionsHaving visited Recoleta it's difficult not to compare.....this cemetery hasn't got the hype of the other,so it peaceful and there is no one around......there are old and new graves and it's quite big..I quite liked the architecture here and took more photos.....there were no tour guides so the history is a bit lost.....if you are going to Palermo at any stage just pop in for an hour and you won't be disappointedWritten November 12, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jonahNJPennington, NJ11,793 contributionsAs part of our final exploration of Buenos Aires before heading back to our hotel and then leaving for the airport, my wife and I spent part of a Sunday afternoon at the Parque Lezama Fair. Visitors can not only visit the beautiful green park, but during the Sunday Fair known as the Feria Artesanal Parque Lezama, there are lots of vendors outside along with outdoor cafes, street musicians and various activities for children and adults alike. It is well worth a visit, especially if the day is as beautiful as when we visited in February 2020.Written July 17, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ivor MLondon, UK525 contributionsThis set of buildings is amongst the oldest and most historic in the city. Now it is used as a cultural centre. It feels a bit of a warren and much of it is pretty decrepit-which is a pity. Within its walls you also have the chamber used for the first parliament.Written April 6, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jolyon67Melbourne, Australia5,672 contributionsBalcarce is one of the most creative areas of Buenos Aires. It runs parallel to Calle Defense and through the bohemian San Telmo district. If you love graffiti and street art fan, there is a lot to see down here. It is a very tolerant area, I felt quite safe walking around on a Sunday afternoon after checking out the market on Defense. There are come nice cafes, even a gay bar down here.Written June 4, 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
