One of the best things about Buenos Aires are the parks. As soon as the sun comes through, the porte\u00f1os (residents of Buenos Aires) go outside and the parks and green squares fill with people. Delicious! Most of the larger parks and plazas can be found in the Recoleta, Palermo and Puerto Madero neighborhoods, but actually there is greenery everywhere. So a city trip in Buenos Aires is also not complete without some nice green walks. Discover the parks in Buenos Aires and read which one is my favorite! Admission to all parks described here is free.<\/em><\/p>\n

Parks in Buenos Aires<\/h2>\n

Parks in the neighborhood of Recoleta<\/h3>\n

Let me start with the neighborhood in which we ourselves stayed: Recoleta. Here you will find mainly many green squares where porte\u00f1os go to play sports especially on weekends. You can run a lap there, or just walk or relax in the grass when the weather is nice. Also, you will find the famous flower here.<\/p>\n

Plaza de las Naciones Unidas y Floralis Gen\u00e9rica<\/h4>\n

One of the most famous parks in Buenos Aires can be found in Recoleta: the flower. Located surrounded by a green strip, stands the Floralis Gen\u00e9rica. This large sculpture, made of steel and aluminum, was a gift from architect Eduardo Catalano to the city of Buenos Aires. The 23-meter-high flower opens in the morning and closes during the day. So when you come in the evening, the flower is closed and gives off a beautiful purple light. So it is worth visiting this park twice at different times.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
