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.

We had a fantastic time with Lucie. She toured us around Retiro, Palermo and Recoleto showing us the sights while ensuring our safety.

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.
