Recoleta

Opulent palaces surrounded by gardens redolent of Paris blend with novel urban arts. In this neighbourhood we find the elegant avenues Quintana and Alvear, Recoleta Cultural Centre, the Faculty of Law, and the Ateneo Grand Splendid bookstore. There’s also the National Library, Floralis Genérica, Recoleta Cemetery and all kinds of museums where we can admire art from the past and art that looks to the future. People gather to drink mate in Plaza Francia and the options for eating out are almost infinite, both day and night. And this is only a taster of what you’ll experience in Recoleta.
