We were lucky and were visiting here when it wasn't that crowded and were able to look around in peace.
A very nice place.
A very nice place.
Definitely worth the visit. Security seemed to be on edge with the large crowd, however they remained friendly and helpful.
Great open area that has some historical significance and a great view of the Pink House (the President of Argentina’s residence). Take time to visit.
It is a place that is always crowded with many tourists. The large Argentine flag goes very well with sky blue, so it's great for taking pictures. On the weekend, various events are held to connect to the flea market of the nearby Santelmo Market, and although it is crowded, it is worth visiting. It is very convenient to visit because the subway is located and there are many buses.
I am from the UK and are on a 6-weeks tour of South America. Plaza de Mayo is a large square with a lots of fine historical buildings which are kept in good condition. There is a President Palace in this square too with its red bricks construction. There are good transport links to the square such as underground metro as well as buses which come straight to the square from the various parts of the city. I enjoyed my stay in/around the park.👍😎🇬🇧
In my opinion this is a must-see in Buenos Aires. It is one the most beautiful theaters in the world and the tour is very interesting even if you are not a ballet or opera fan. This building represents the prominence of Argentina at the turn of the century. It was the 10th leading economy above Italy and many other European countries. If you want to know what happened, I would refer you to the Wikipedia article entitled the economic history of Argentina which is very enlightening. English tours are given starting at 10am. Times seem to vary but they have a functional and helpful website. We just walked up at 0950 and bought tickets. I have really enjoyed my time in Argentina. The people are just wonderful.
A mist see square in Buenos Aires! You feel the atmosphere of a great city. Nice views on some iconic buildings!
