Best Things to Do in Buenos Aires

"Carlos Thays Botanical Garden The red-gravel paths that wind among 6,000 plant species, past a babbling stream, and into deeply shaded areas may make you forget you’re in the center of a loud, bustling city. That said, many visitors don’t know that the Botanical Garden includes a small butterfly garden. It’s closed during the week, but you can still peek over a low wall to watch some 50 butterfly species flit about their business. And for one glorious hour, from noon to 1 p.m. on Saturdays, the gate is thrown open and the public is free to walk sunny paths among shoulder-high flowering hedges as colorful, flirtatious butterflies alight on amused visitors’ heads, shoulders, and arms.

This garden is a truly enchanting place, offering a tranquil escape from the city's hustle and bustle. The diverse collection of plants is beautifully arranged, showcasing the wonders of the natural world. It's a perfect spot for a relaxing stroll or simply soaking up the peaceful atmosphere. The entrance is free, but make sure to check the working hours.

A beautiful spot of nature in the city with lots of trees, plants, and sculptures. We visited on a weekday, and there were many school groups around. It is free to enter. Benches can be found in many places around the park. Washrooms are available. Be aware that the buildings close at 3 PM.

This is such a beautiful place to walk around, take pictures or even unwind reading a book. But keep in mind the the ground will leave your shoes orangish, so don't wear your favourite white ones.

I really liked it. I would be happy to pay to come in and the inner gardens be better looked after. Shame the butterfly house was closed. Great activity. Bring drink and a book a dream away the hours

Wonderful free activity in Palermo. It’s better to come in the morning, there’s almost no one here. The garden has many beautiful trees and plants, you can see some sculptures and a big variety of cactus. Sometimes they organise events here, for which you need to buy a ticket, but in general it’s free.

A little oasis of nature in the center of the city. It is rather unusual tu be surrounded by nature and see the skyscrapers poke from behind the trees. There is a lot of varied vegetation (but little explanation of what you are seeing) and animals that roam free (the very chill capybaras) or are confined to their special areas (turtles, flamingoes, llamas and so on). It is a wonderful place where to take a leisurely stroll whenever you feel like (the entrance is completely free) and you can find cafes and small restaurants within the park (I haven't tried any) as well as educational activities for children.

Muy hermoso, tranquillo, y bonito. Fabulous garden with much to view, many benches to sit, and an all around nice place to relax and spend some time. Luckily it was not too affected by the recent wind storm that ravaged the city so many of the trees remained intact. Beautiful butterflies, flowers, and trees throughout.

This botanical garden is maintained very carefully, not only the many plants and trees but also the historic architecture, including beautiful fountains and sculptures. Love it! Currently, there is an exhibition called secret garden at night's until July 31st, which I highly recommend!
