The best Buenos Aires neighborhoods to discover in spring

Palermo

Palermo is the green and bohemian heart of Buenos Aires, making it the perfect place to enjoy during spring. Here you can walk through the Palermo Forest (Bosques de Palermo), the largest green lung of the city, where flowering jacarandas paint the landscape in purple and lavender tones. If you are a fan of natural spaces, you cannot miss visiting the Botanical Garden and its collections of native and exotic plants. Its areas of Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood offer a unique mix of design shops, art galleries, and a bustling nightlife, where you can have exquisite coffee in the renowned specialty coffee stores, and buy artisanal items and souvenirs at the weekend fairs, week and walk among graffiti, alleys full of trees and a very relaxed climate. 

Recoleta

Recoleta is synonymous with elegance and sophistication. During spring, the neighborhood comes to life with its flowery parks and squares, such as the emblematic Thays Park and France Square, where the traditional craft fair is held on weekends. Visit the famous Recoleta Cemetery, an open-air museum of sculptures and mausoleums (where you can access guided day and night tours), and enjoy an afternoon at the National Museum of Fine Arts, which houses an impressive collection of local and international art.

Belgrano

Belgrano is one of the most traditional and charming neighborhoods in Buenos Aires. Its combination of history, elegant architecture, and green spaces position it as one of the residential neighborhoods of the city and as a true experience for tourists seeking to know the true essence of the Argentine capital. There you should visit Barrancas de Belgrano, a public park that stands out for its landscape design that, in spring, fills it with color with the flowering of different species of trees and plants. Another must-see green space is Manuel Belgrano Square, the nerve center of the neighborhood, a place where residents and visitors gather to enjoy the outdoors and community life. In spring, the square becomes an even more lively meeting point, with cultural activities and outdoor events. This mythical neighborhood is also home to Chinatown, with Asian food markets, craft fairs, and hundreds of food stalls and bazaars with pieces from the Eastern spiritual world, cosmetics, and more. And if you are a real foodie, don't forget to stop by the Belgrano Market, an unmissable destination for those looking for a variety of fresh products, seasonal fruits, and vegetables.
