We went there on a hop-on/off bus thinking we are visiting Evita museum or maybe we were attracted by the bazaar for that weekend. We saw many people entering this cemetery and I started to realize this was one of the to-do. It's an interesting...More

This old cementery is in middle of restaurantes and bares in Recoleta area. Famous politicians and artist are buried there. Most famous Evita. Recommended to take a guide to understand better.

Go with a guide to learn about the important mausoleums and the history. Find the tomb of Eva Peron. To avoid the crowds go early in the morning.

Take the line H (yellow one) to Las Heras. From there it is a short walk to the cementery. For further information about public transportation download the app ‘Como Llego’, it’s very helpful.
