Once the domain of Spanish and French-influenced estates, it remains one of the city’s most elegant districts, with avenues flanked by neoclassical buildings and luxury boutiques. The Recoleta Cemetery, where Eva Perón and other historical figures rest in elaborate mausoleums, is one of the world’s most extraordinary burial sites. Nearby, the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes houses masterpieces from European and Argentine artists, while the Centro Cultural Recoleta fosters contemporary exhibitions and performances. Plaza Francia hosts open-air markets and street performers, drawing visitors into its lively yet sophisticated atmosphere. Classic cafés, including the historic Café La Biela, have long been gathering places for intellectuals and writers. A district shaped by history, culture, and prestige, Recoleta remains a timeless symbol of Buenos Aires’ refinement.
