Palacio Libertad, Centro Cultural Domingo Faustino Sarmiento

It is a cultural centre located in the San Nicolás neighbourhood , Commune 1 , in the City of Buenos Aires. It is the largest in size in Latin America and the third largest in the world. It is located in the building that previously housed the Palace of Post and Telecommunications. The idea was to create the Bicentennial Park as a hub for the downtown area and, at the same time, a meeting and social place for citizens, where they could learn about new cultural, artistic and recreational developments. Very popular place, lots of tourists and locals. Toilets available. Fair bit of walking some under shade. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen.

Fantastic place. Lots of options to have a wonderful time. For shows, booking in advance is a must (free tickets for everything, don’t be scammed by resellers like ‘GetYourGuide’). The building tours are very informative (not too long, good enough to understand what the building was, and what it is today). The cultural center definitely is in my top 3 places to visit in Buenos Aires.

If you get a chance to go on the tour of this building, you definitely should! There's a lot to be gained even if you don't understand the commentary in Spanish. The tour guide is very good about speaking slowly and clearly communicates much of the content. Having access to various parts of the building, including going into the auditorium and up to the Eva Peron dispatch office, makes the tour worth your time. If you have a chance to see your performance in the auditorium, definitely do so! If you do go on the tour, you need to get a free ticket by registering at the front desk. I recommend showing up 15 or 20 minutes early, as there were lots of people on the tour and the line to get the tickets took a while. You need to show an ID as they do log everyone who comes into the building for the tour.

I was told the lifts were not working, even though I saw them being used. Nothing is sign posted, so I didn't know what was in which room and along what corridor on any floor. So I spent a lot of time walking around. I decided to wander to the top floor and work my way down and then I stumbled upon the roof terrace which was cool. The roof lights were light up with colour of the pride flag. The view is beautiful. It's an interesting looking building and free to enter.

What an spectacular place to visit, my Lord! The architecture of this building is absolutely Gregoria and very well preserved. There is always lots of artistic events happening which you don’t know which one to choose due to its high quality!

It's a nice place to visit as it belongs to the historical architecture heritage of the country. The guides and staff in general are really kind and well prepared for the internal tours. Recommended 👍🏽👍🏽

It's one of the most beautiful buildings we have in Argentina, and they host events about our Argentine culture there. They even set up a movie theater to show films from the country. You can go for free.

A must place visit in Buenos Aires. There are several free shows and saw balinese gamelan from Indonesia performed by talented Argentinians! ❤️🇮🇩

This absolutely beautiful cultural center, in what used to be the Central Post Office, is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. And, as usual, it's even better cause it's free. There are many art exhibits that change throughout the year, so there's almost always something new to see. The building itself is gorgeous, even if there wasn't any art installations it would be a worthwhile experience to drop by and check it out. The exhibits themselves are great too, and it can be a bit hard to navigate the six floors but just ask any attendants! The information desk at the ground floor does a great job to help visitors get their free tickets (you have to reserve them online beforehand, though) for the many musical performances the center offers. The many performances are absolutely amazing, I recommend signing up and going to as many as you can even if you're not familiar with the artist or the musical style, cause they're always fantastic. If you're not that interested in music, it's a great chance to enjoy the atmosphere and the architecture of the many rooms. The sala sinfónica in particular is gorgeous. I reiterate, it's free. I'm beyond amazed at this wonderful achievement, of making these cultural centers / museums free of charge, making the very clear statement that art and culture is for everyone. There are also classes that you can take there, dancing and exercise and who knows what else, all available to the public (though you probably have to sign up beforehand, so check their website). Like any museum it's closed on Mondays, unless it's a holiday, in which case it's closed on that following Tuesday. If you're in Buenos Aires, either visiting or living here, drop by. This place is gorgeous. At least just come and use the restrooms, I promise you'll stick around.

This is a great museum to visit. It is free and the place is quite interesting. It is 6 floors with each floor having multiple exhibits. They rotate the exhibits so no two visits are the same. They allow different artists to display their work in each exhibit. You can spend an entire day in here and have tremendous fun.

Been to Buenos Aires twice and never managed to get in as IT'S CLOSED IN DECEMBER (just when all the tourists come!).
