Recoleta is the elegant, Parisian-style corner of northern Buenos Aires, drawing visitors to its cemetery, museums, and boutique-lined avenues.

Getting around Recoleta with bags

The Pueyrredón station on Line D sits right in Recoleta at the corner of Avenida Santa Fe and Avenida Pueyrredón, so the neighbourhood is easy to reach by underground. The Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes is also served by the Facultad de Derecho station on Line H.

Plaza Intendente Alvear, the public space between Junín street and Avenida del Libertador, is often mistakenly called Plaza Francia. The Feria Francesa, the weekend handicraft market, takes place in the real Plaza Francia, at the intersection of Avenida del Libertador and Agote.

Exploring Recoleta: what to see and how long to plan

The neighbourhood's headline sights are the Recoleta Cemetery, the Basílica del Pilar, and the Centro Cultural Recoleta. Visitors stopping only at Recoleta Cemetery typically spend 1 to 1.5 hours there, where over 90 tombs are national historical monuments and Eva Perón is buried. Budget a half-day, roughly 3 to 4 hours, to cover the cemetery, the Basílica del Pilar, Plaza Francia, the Centro Cultural Recoleta, and part of Avenida Alvear. Other points of interest include the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, the historic La Biela cafe, and the Floralis Genérica sculpture. The cemetery is also known for its ornate mausoleums and elaborate marble sculptures. Avenida Alvear, meanwhile, is known for its opulent French-style architecture, historic palaces, and aristocratic character.
