Best Things to Do in Buenos Aires

"A symbol of Buenos Aires’s golden age, the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo was the locus for the horseraces that played a major role in 1930s and ’40s porteño culture. Crowds flocked to the track on weekends; great wins (and many more losses) inspired dozens of tango songs. Today, the grand 1876 Belle Époque structure still hosts a handful of weekly races. For an up-close look at the horses, check out the showcase before each competition; place your bets and pay the small fee to watch the steeplechase from more comfortable tribuna oficial seats, offering great views of your horse as it crosses the finish line.

Well worth a visit especially on race days. Beautiful buildings and grounds, the casino was cool but you need a collared shirt.

A popular spot to watch horse races. The day we came it was quite busy and lots of action. Really cool experience.

This is the biggest racetrack in Argentina, free entrence , close to the horses , lots of asados and foodtrucks , prices a little high but not extremely. Nice atmosphere .

One of my favorite things to do in the city. It’s free entry and it’s a beautiful setting, great architecture, buildings and greenery. Places to sit upstairs, including a restaurant and cafe, which cost a fee but not much at all. I prefer it outside where the atmosphere is good during the race. It’s simple and fun to bet a few notes. By a racing magazine on entry and learn 1 to 12 in Spanish for your bets. Love it.

The most tidy, beautiful racecourse I have ever seen. We attended on a day with no races but it was still wonderful to see the surrounds. There is an underground playground (casino) which really took us by surprise!

It was my first time at a race track so definitely an interesting thing to see if you’d like me. It wasn’t super exciting so we didn’t stay very long. It’s a bit hard to find info on the schedule but I sent a message to them on their Facebook page and they responded very quickly.

Fun place to go for the afternoon. Beautiful horses. People are very nice. Didn’t know there was a racetrack so close but they only race certain days. There are a couple restaurants too. In the main building is a Casino in 3 floors with slot machines. One floor is for smokers and the others are not. Lovely gift shop with unique items. The area is like a park so very nice to walk around even when there are no races.

Beautiful slot machine casino. The place is huge. They got a few restaurants but they are not cheap. There is no complementary anything here. No slot machine service. You have to get up and get everything. They sell cigarettes but no lighters or matches. I was told that back in the day this place had better service like a real casino. Like up to Las Vegas standards.

If you like horse racing or just want to do something different the hippodrome is the place where its at. Huge spaces and big lovely grounds to spend the whole day outside at the races. I helped my dad bet and we got the hang of the local lingo. Inside you can eat and sit at a nice table all day while going outside to watch the races. It's affordable not crazy expensive which it seems like it would be. You have a few options to eat, a more formal steak restaurant and the cafe bar options inside which are more like a cantina but everything we tried was great. Will be returning, such a nice escape from the city.

The place is a casino and they do horse racing there. I went for the casino. There are over 10000 slot machines if you are up for that! Slots are tight though so watch out!!

Went here twice. Once on 6/22 and again on 6/26. Both times we went we witnessed a horse breaking its leg during the race. It was then killed, tied up, and thrown onto a trailer in front of the audience. The animal brutality here is unbearable. This is not a place to support.
