Recoleta Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Recoleta in 2026?

It’s free to visit the Recoleta neighborhood in Buenos Aires, but many travelers opt to learn more about the historic district on guided tours. Walking tours start around US$16 per person, guided bike tours are from US$40, and private half-day tours begin around US$60.

Q: What is Recoleta known for?

Bordering Palermo in the north of Buenos Aires, Recoleta is one of the city’s most affluent residential districts. It’s renowned for the magnificent Recoleta Cemetery (Cementerio de Recoleta), the resting place of Eva Perón, as well as its grand Parisian-style townhouses, leafy parks, and many luxury hotels, shops, restaurants, and cafés.

Q: What can I see and do in Recoleta besides the cemetery?

While the Recoleta Cemetery may be the neighborhood’s most visited attraction, you can also go to the Buenos Aires National Museum of Fine Arts (Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes) to admire Goya and Rembrandt masterpieces, catch a show at Centro Cultural Recoleta, watch the sunset at the Floralis Genérica sculpture, and browse the weekly artisan market at Plaza Francia.

Q: Is Recoleta safe to visit?

Yes, Recoleta is generally considered one of the safest neighborhoods in Buenos Aires to stay in. Most travelers feel secure walking between the sights, browsing the shopping boulevards, or hanging out in the parks during the day. However, as with many urban areas, watch out for pickpockets in busy areas and take a taxi at night.

Q: How do I get to Recoleta from downtown Buenos Aires?

The easiest way to get around in Buenos Aires is by Subte (metro)—take line H to Las Heras station for Recoleta Cemetery, or head to Facultad de Derecho–Julieta Lanteri station for the Buenos Aires National Museum of Fine Arts. Alternatively, it’s a 15-minute taxi ride from downtown Buenos Aires.

Half-Day Recoleta and Palermo Bike Tour in Buenos Aires

Richard_H, Feb 2026

Biking BA

We had a fantastic time with Lucie. She toured us around Retiro, Palermo and Recoleto showing us the sights while ensuring our safety. One of our bike got a flat tire but she repaired it quickly and we were on the road again. We recommend this tour to anybody wanting to see BA and also get some excercise.

La Recoleta Cemetery

Our tour guide - Yami was wonderful. She had detailed knowledge about this very interesting cemetery. We learned so much and could have spent even more time in this special place. I was able to finally pay my respect to Eva Duarte Peron - "Evita" which has long been a bucket list item.

The Best Bike Tour of Palermo and Ricoleta

From the moment you meet the Ignacio you knew you were going to have fun and learn about Buenos Aires and in particular Palermo and Ricoleta in a unique manner. Ignacio has vast knowledge of Argentina's colorful history and presents it in an easy to understand manner and offers the rider a chance to explore the country's challenges. He magically explores all views of a complicated history in a very respectful manner on all topics. The easy biking on a gorgeous sunny day allowed us to escape to quieter areas and ride through parks and cover a lot of territory traveling down safe avenues. He found a great Cafe break inside a very large park and that is when you get to better understand life in Argentina as Ignacio is a 30 year old, mature, young adult who has purpose. No doubt I will be reading about him favorably in the future as he carves his path. And, after the tour, I researched whether a statue of General San Jose Martin, a hero of Argentina and elsewhere, was in NYC in Central Park. Although I've walked through Central Park over a 1000 times I never stopped to consider this famous war hero. And there was San Martin right where Ignacio said it would be. He had remembered seeing the statue from Home Alone 2. Take Ignacio's tour. You will not be disappointed.
