The Prettiest Squares and Plazas in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is often called the Paris of South America, not only because of the French-style buildings in the upscale neighbourhood of Recoleta, but also because of its 19th century urban planning that was modeled on the French capital. Buenos Aires has a wealth of parks, plazas and green spaces that are great to wander around or spend a weekend afternoon in the summer drinking mate with friends. Here are the prettiest squares and plazas in the city of Buenos Aires.
1. Botanical Gardens
Building, Park
The botanical gardens in Palermo is somewhere that locals rarely visit, but they are missing out, because it is easily one of the most serene places in the city. A greenhouse is home to some exotic plants, and to the rear of the red brick building that fronts onto the park’s newly remodelled entrance, there are hundreds of species of plants, bushes, and trees planted that will easily take up an entire afternoon to make your way around all of them. There are lots of pretty benches to sit on throughout the gardens, and it is a perfect spot for a day date with your paramour.
