Famous for its elaborate French architecture, numerous parks and plazas, many sophisticated restaurants and high-end clothing boutiques and art galleries, Recoleta is Buenos Aires' most classic neighborhood. On weekends, the masses gather at Plaza Francia outside the Recoleta Cemetery, where Eva Peron is buried, to relax and explore the multitude of stands selling clothing, jewelry and artisans.
Recoleta is adjacent to the areas of Plaza San Martin, with its extensive and verdant plaza; and Palermo, with its numerous shopping options and extensive network of parks.
