The President’s Pink House (Casa Rosada) where Argentina’s major decisions are made. Well worth a visit, and while in the area, visit the museum housing things owned or used by previous Argentinian presidents. I enjoyed the historical walk.

In January 2024 tours inside the building were not taking place. But it's worth a visit to this iconic site, especially after watching the movie Evita! There are other things in the area to visit while you are here such as museums, churches, and Florida St.

The Casa Rosada is the presidential/government official building, right on the Plaza de Mayo amidst other historic buildings. It is a unique shade of pink, and has the famous balconies where Eva Peron gave her speech (or sang, in the film version) so it's pretty well known. We didn't go inside (I'm not sure whether tours were available when we visited) but it was nice to see the exterior, and see the historic and iconic building that we'd heard so much about.

The Casa Rosada building occupies the site where a Spanish riverbank fort once stood; today, after repeated landfills, the palace stands more than 1km inland. This initial four-floor building started to be a Post Office and then a Government House. It was completed in 1898, partially demolished, and modified in 1938. The Casa Rosada, literally the(Pink House) was named for its distinctive pink walls, caused by mixing white paint with bovine blood, a common practice in the late 19th century; today it is the president of the Argentine Republic's official workplace, located in Buenos Aires. The palatial mansion is known officially as Casa de Gobierno. From its balcony here in the past, Eva Perón famously addressed her supporters who packed into Plaza de Mayo. They no longer offer free tours of the building, but you can watch the lowering of the national flag ceremony. While one of the guardsmen plays the bugle, the other guards salute with their sabres. There is not much shade, so go early before the heat of the day and the gathering of the tourists and protesters. TIP: The interesting Museo Casa Rosada is located just behind the palace.
