Huge park near the river great for drinking Mate and hanging out. It also connects to another park…read morethat has lots of room for biking and roller blading if you cross a little bridge at the back. Lot's of people come here so sometimes finding shade can be difficult. There are also those who come here to fish but it is rather family friendly in general. There are bathrooms and in the summer they even put up little folding beach chairs and haul in Sand, but then again that is Macri! I've never parked here, but there is a big lot and in the summer of course it does get full!

The water fountains are definitely the highlight of this huge park. The greenery is, unfortunately,…read moredivided by the highway that runs above it, and beneath it there's a cultural center. During weekends it seems to be the top choice for a nice day out, tons of joggers, children, dog owners, teenagers, older couples and everything in between decide to spend at least a couple of hours in Chacabuco Park eating candy apples and sweet popcorn... or smoking pot and drinking Fernet con Coca. To each its own! But, as it happens in most public parks, you have to be alert. As soon as the sun goes down, better be aware of your surroundings, specially if you're by yourself. All in all, it's a really nice park, really suitable to spend a nice day out with family or friends (humans and canines alike).

El Rosedal (or Rose Garden) is a popular rose garden that is located inside the Parque Tres de…read moreFebrero, a large urban park in the Palermo neighborhood. I found this garden to be a relaxing place to walk around and take some photos. It is full of many sculptures, lots of ducks walking around, and good natural scenery to enjoy. There are paddle boats for rental too on the lake. The place is a good size and one could easily spend one or tow hours here. Unfortunately, I came here during the wintertime, so the roses were not in bloom. While I did enjoy my time here, if I'd known the roses were not in bloom, I probably would have skipped this place.

My husband and I went for a long walk around Buenos Aries and stumbled upon the beautiful Rosedal…read more We were absolutely amazed by how beautiful the rose garden was. It was well maintained and none of the flowers were destroyed by people. My husband and I recently visited the New York Botanical Garden in the USA and went to see the roses and I will confidently say that Rosedal not only has better and more roses, it's also kept pristine by visitors...that is something Rosedal and the gardeners should be proud of! I'm amazed that this garden is free and yet so beautiful, I'm honestly shocked. Shoutout to all of the visitors keeping this garden clean and not picking the flowers!! Rosedal is a must see when visiting Buenos Aries. You can also rent a paddle boat nearby or just take a nice stroll through the park. There's also a garden of poets section where you will find busts of historical poets (mostly Argentinian but there was a bust of Shakespeare).

Great jumping off point for Palermo! I've never been to…read moreArmenia, but this plaza makes me sure feel at home. There's a non-working fountain in the middle of this plaza, surrounded by a fence to keep the riff-raf out of the fountain at night. On the weekends, I found that there's an arts n crafts market that surrounds the park, with lots of skilled craftsmen selling their wares with fresh, unique works of art at a reasonable price. We found that there's art for everyone here- I got some earrings and some signs in the Porteno Filetado style- so cool! Surrounding the plaza are lots of places to drink- Palermo seems kind of like the strip- where you can bounce around and try lots of different bars in the neighborhood. The plaza and the neighborhood felt pretty safe, and the plaza seemed well lit enough at night.

I have such ambivalent feelings about Plaza Armenia... When the fountain is working, I love it…read more During the day, it's generally pretty nice. Any other time, it's pretty scary. It's super well located. It's only a few blocks away from some bus stops and it requires quite a walk from the closest metro or train station, but the charm of this park is that it's surrounded by trendy restaurants of all kinds. And the area keeps growing, new businesses keep popping up, so this park is both an oasis of greenery and a meeting point. There's a tiny dog park inside, plenty of benches, a playground and a lovely fountain that works sometimes. When it does, it's simple but adorable (looks even better at night, with colored lights). Ah! There's a carousel as well. The thing is that, because it's surrounded by tourist traps and trendy restaurants, it can also attract a lot of dangerous elements. At night, I would recommend not circling the block by yourself, especially if it's a weekday. Costa Rica and Armenia street are pretty safe, but Malabia and specially Nicaragua, which is pretty dim, are not. Better safe than sorry! Just wait until morning. Having said that, I quite like it. I think it's improved over the years and it can still get even better. There's a fair/market thing during the weekends, which can be charming for those who like that kind of thing. Those who don't are gonna get irritated at the slow foot traffic and the push and shove of other pedestrians. It's really nice, and I like going there just to sit and look at the fountain while I'm waiting for a friend, even at night. I know it's a bit risky, but such is life.
