We stayed at Loi Suites Recoleta which was a great area and a safe area to stay and visit. We were able to walk to most attractions of interest including to Recoleta Cemetery where there was an abundance of history. The nearby Parks also made for a pleasant walk.

A nice neighbourhood to walk through. A more expensive/luxurious region of the city. Has the historic Recoleta cemetary. Mall in Recoleta as well (with expensive stores). A quote from a tour book - "heavily made up ladies in their fur coats walking tiny dogs on Channel leashes"

Recoleta is a great place to walk around and buy souvenirs. Make sure to go to the feria on the weekends. They have a large selection of things to bring back as souvenirs. The Recoleta Cementary is beautiful as well and free!

The inflation and overall economic woes of Argentina have taken its toll. The sidewalks are dirty and in a terrible state of repair. Everybody walkes around with a worried look on their faces. Customer service in the shops is almost non existent.

WOW..I have never seen anything like this before. This place blew my mind. A city of the dead with so many stories. Potentially can spend hours in here just looking through the fine work and admiring the beauty of each tomb. Make sure to take the free tour. I belive every tuesday and thursdays from 11AM in English. Went to... More

Perfect area to stay in. Clean and felt very safe. Tour of the cemetery is worth the time and money. Evening walking tour is also very interesting and enjoyable. No charge but strong arm donation at the end -- worth it anyway.

The Recoleta area itself has the feel of an upscale Paris neighborhood. It's a pleasant place for a stroll. The cemetery is clearly the high point. The ornate mausoleums are not only sights in their own rights but give you a good insight in to the nature of the culture of the Argentinian upper classes. Try to visit when there's... More

Good shops, nice restaurants with outdoor seating and of course, don't go without a walk around the cemetery.

There's a nadcraft market on weekends where you can negociate and buy some great leather goods and souvenirs; they're not happy about negociating but they will be a lot more friendly if you have dollars as it's very hard for them to buy foreign currency.
