The Top 10 Things to See and Do in Santa Fe, Argentina

Harry Stewart

Capital of the province by the same name, the seldom explored Argentine city of Santa Fe surprises travelers with its eclectic array of impressive attractions. From intriguing downtown museums to stunning colonial buildings and pristine natural waterways, here are the top 10 things to see and do in and around Santa Fe.

1. Juan de Garay Park

Park

As the city’s premier recreational park, Juan de Garay sees a flurry of activity on weekends as locals come to relax among lagoons and flower gardens or get involved in a friendly game of football. During the summer it gets particularly exciting as festivals, art exhibits, and events are held in the evenings.

Bathing clubs

Given Santa Fe is sunny and warm pretty much all year round, it should come as no surprise that the locals are really into their swimming. Known locally as balnearios, these numerous bathing resorts are an excellent respite from the heat.
