La Recoleta Cemetery - Buenos Aires - Things To Do Reviews

La Recoleta Cemetery is located in the Recoleta neighborhood on Buenos Aires. La Recoleta houses gravesites of some of the most affluent people of Buenos Aires including presidents, scientists and some of the wealthiest people of Argentina. One of the most famous graves sites being Eva Peron, which draws quite the crowd daily.

La Recoleta is free to the public and is open from 7:30 – 5:45 Monday - Saturday and 7:00 – 2:30AM on Sundays.

I have to say out of all the places I visited during my visit in Buenos Aires, La Recoleta
was one of my favorite places. Buenos Aires can be quite hectic at times and this was my quiet little haven while visiting. I went three times during my short visit in Argentina. I would definitely recommend going here, but set at least 2 to 3 hours aside as there is a lot to see and it is easy to get lost amid the grave sites.

The statues are absolutely beautiful and there are a group of about 75 cats that reside there. Some of them are friendly and will even let you pet them! Enjoy!

La Recoleta Cemetery is Buenos Aires' oldest and most celebrated cemetery. It is almost six hectares in size and houses the tombs of many of the leading figures of Argentinean history, including the famed Eva Perón (Evita). The architecture that can be found there is simply divine! I strongly suggest you spend several hours getting lost amongst the maze of stone and marble tombs while taking in the historical significance of place you are visiting. This is certainly one of the jewels of Buenos Aires.
