Recoleta

Neighborhoods in Buenos Aires

"La Recoleta is the posh, “old money” neighborhood of Buenos Aires and it shows in the grand architecture and chic boutiques. If you’re fond of tea houses, you’ll get your fill here, but we suggest that those in search of something a little stronger check out some of the hip bars in the area. The top sight in this barrio is its ornate cemetery, so take a few hours to wander and check out the fancy tombstones. The craft market in Plaza Francia during the weekends is also a sight to see. If it’s one of the best bookstores in the world that you want to visit, go to the stunning Ateneo Grand Splendid — you’ll never order anything off Amazon again after seeing it." - MATADOR_NETWORK
