　　Recoleta’s popular artisan fair has dozens of booths and a range of creative, homemade goods from leather wallets and silver jewelry to mate gourds and hand-woven scarves. It’s at its biggest on weekends, though there are usually a few stalls open during the week. Despite its name, the market is located just outside the Cementerio de la Recoleta in Plaza Intendente Alvear.

Must-see attractions

Centro Cultural Kirchner

　　It was former president Néstor Kirchner who, in 2005, first proposed turning the abandoned former central post office into a cultural center. He died in 2010 before the project was completed, but this breathtaking cultural center was named in his honor. Within the vast beaux-arts structure – which stands eight...

　　One of Buenos Aires' most beautiful monuments, this 22-story building has a unique design inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy. Its structure is divided into hell, purgatory and heaven; its height (100m) is a reference to each canto (song); and the number of floors (22) mirrors the number of verses per...

　　The Casa Rosada was named for its distinctive color. It was from the balcony here, at the presidential palace, that Eva Perón famously addressed the throngs of impassioned supporters packed into Plaza de Mayo. (Note that the building houses offices; the presidential residence is in the northern suburb of Olivos.)...

Parque 3 de Febrero

　　This sweeping park abounds with small lakes and pretty gazebos. Stands rent bikes and in-line skates, and joggers and power walkers circle the ponds – if you don't have the energy to join them, lie back under a tree and people-watch or bing a picnic. There's a monument to literary...

Museo Benito Quinquela Martín

　　Once the home and studio of painter Benito Quinquela Martín (1890–1977), this fine-arts museum exhibits his works and those of other Argentine artists. Quinquela Martín used silhouettes of laboring men, smokestacks and water reflections as recurring themes, and painted with broad, rough brushstrokes and dark colors. Don't miss the colorful...

　　This upscale cafe-restaurant has an elegant atmosphere and attracts Recoleta’s wealthiest. Its best feature is the shady patio, complete with large fountain and surrounded by grand buildings, great on a warm day. For lunch there are sandwiches, salads, vegetable tarts and gourmet pizzas. Plenty of luscious cakes and desserts, too....

Milonga La Glorieta

　　It’s hard to imagine a more romantic setting for an outdoor milonga than the park bandstand at the Barrancas de Belgrano, where on summer evenings dancers of all ages and levels come to tango. There’s usually a free lesson beforehand from 6pm to 7pm. Sundays are the best day to...

　　Wine enthusiasts love this sophisticated closed-door eatery run by sommelier Santiago Mymicopulo. The gorgeously presented gourmet cuisine, presented in seven courses at private or communal tables, is accompanied by seven wine pairings from Argentina's different wine-growing regions. Expect to try some of Argentina’s tastiest Torrontés, malbec and pinot noir. Reservations...

　　Occupying an entire city block, this impressive seven-story theater is one of BA’s most prominent landmarks. It’s the city’s main performing arts venue, and with astounding acoustics, it's a world-class forum for opera, ballet and classical music. The Colón can seat 2500 spectators and provides standing room for another 500....

Aldo’s Restoran & Vinoteca

　　This restaurant and wine shop is an upscale eatery serving a short, gourmet menu of steaks, seafood and pasta dishes, plus small plates and charcuterie, in a warmly lit space where the walls are lined with bottles of wine. Ask your server to recommend one of the nearly 600 bottles...

　　Surrounded by the Casa Rosada, the Cabildo and the city’s main cathedral, Plaza de Mayo is the place where Argentines gather in vehement protest or jubilant celebration. At the center is the Pirámide de Mayo, a white obelisk built to mark the first anniversary of independence from Spain. 　　If you...

Cementerio de la Recoleta

　　This cemetery is perhaps BA's top attraction. You can wander for hours in this incredible city of the dead, where the ‘streets’ are lined with impressive statues and marble mausoleums. Peek into the crypts and check out the dusty coffins and try to decipher the history of its inhabitants. Past...
