We visited this place on our last day. Almost every day we walked by a nice little church, but never took time time to go to the cementary until our last day of stay. I guess most of the people there at the time were looking for the gave of Evita Peroni. It was not too difficult to find it but still took some time. Leave a Comment

Recoleta neighborhood this is near the cementery , weekends they do have an outdoor bazaar, a lot of street artists, tango dancers , good barbecue restaurants ( parrilladas ), coffe shops ( Try submarino is hot milk with dark chocolate bars …really good. Near you have a cinema mall ( there you can see what they did with the money in the dolarize system ) Huge invesment. ….in the night this neighborhood suffers a great transformation, full of discotheques, night clubs, restaurants, bars….You will have a lot of fun.. Discos are a bit cheese. Address: Barrio recoleta

Cemetary Bottom Right by mbisceglia
Oh yeah, Right before you walk thru the front entrace, turn around. look across the park and get a room at one of those highrise hotels. 100+ a night ( us dol ) well worth it. U will believe it when u see the view. Oudoor cafes and restraunts all in that area. Enjoy a bottle of vino after your
tour. Address: Recoleta CemetaryDirections: This is a worth visiting neighborhood

I do not often go to cemateries but this one is really unique. Many of Argentina's richest and most famous are buried here. The cematery is well worth a visitand it is located in the nicest area of BA so some shopping, picture taking, and walks through parks are easily accessable. The cematary is also where Eva Peron is buried. Leave a Comment Directions: This is a worth visiting neighborhood

I wasn't going to go to the Recoleta Cemetary, in the end. The more time I spent in Buenos Aires, the more I identified with San Telmo. It was all I could do to get out as far as Florida and Lavalle Streets when I needed stuff from the 21st century. I lived in San Telmo for two months and it just seemed to have more and more to offer every day so I didn't feel like playing tourist outside.
(To be fair to Buenos Aires, I must say I reached it after months of good but arduous travel, in a very special state-of-mind, and I was determined to take it barrio by barrio, at my speed, even before I arrived there. It turned out I took in just one barrio but for me, it's the best and I'm happy.)
But on my last day, my landlords gave me their historical guide to the Recoleta Cemetary and practically begged me to go and see it. I'm glad I followed their advice, this famous landmark is really worth seeing.The monumental architecture alone is wonderful, but there's also lots of history behind many toombstones, and all sorts of urban legends to discover. For the full benefit of the two last ones, a good guide to the cemetary is invaluable.
The place is not at all like a Romantic English cemetary, there's more marble than trees, but even that stone forest entices you to roam in a quiet, personal world. I liked it a lot.
All around the outside wall of the cemetary, a sort of 'Frontier Land' has been built that looks very false, of course. It attracts tourists and rich-looking Portenos, and the atmosphere is just like anywhere else in the Western world (in case you get homesick.)
There was a cool Dixie Band at the entrance and that made my day! Leave a Comment Directions: In Recoleta

I visited the cemetery again twice, and was able each time to persuade them to let me in even as the gates were closing. I hope you can be so lucky!! Directions: This is a worth visiting neighborhood

Recoleta has lots of things to offer it has a big park, which transforms to a flea market on weekends. Try browsing around you will find a bargain or two even for fancy jewelries. If you're a catholic try visiting Our Lady of the Pillar Church just across the park, it has a fascinating gold guilded altar, on weekdays they open the church's museum and you will find antique religious artifacts. From the church windows if it's open (if close try to ask if they could open it for you) you could get a good view of the Recoleta cementery. Yes, Recoleta Cementery is next to the church and here, you'll find english guides to take you around. If not just follow the crowd and you'll find Evita's tomb.
Across from the park, there are many fine restaurants to try, mostly offering grilled argentinian beef, not to miss if you're fond of succulent meats. Try the El Parrillon restaurant, you can even see them cook your beef right before your eyes. These restaurants open at 8:00 but also serves lunch. There is also a small Havana coffee shop across the park, try sipping a cup of Joe and indulge yourself on their dulce de leche cookies, I personally like the Galletina, small cookies wrapped in chocolate. Address: Recoleta StreetDirections: Recoleta is a safe place to stroll around.
