Sightseeing in Buenos Aires

Beautiful Parks for Nature Lovers and Medical Tourism Visitors

Buenos Aires has plenty of green spaces that are tucked away quite comfortably within the city limits. Head to the Parque Lezama, laid out on the slopes of a hill and interspersed with meandering paths lined by palms, cedar elms, and magnolia trees. The Palermo area is home to lakes, smaller parks, and a lovely rose garden. Parque de la Costa is the largest of its kind in South America, and includes paddle wheel boat tours, roller coasters, adventure rides, and laser and dance shows.

Historic Sites Beckon the Medical Tourism Visitor

There’s plenty for the culture buff to see in Buenos Aires. The 400-year old La Casa Rosada, the presidential palace of Argentina, derives its name from its characteristic pink color. The Plaza de Mayo, or the city center, has the distinction of having been the venue of many of Argentina’s historical events and houses the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Town Hall (Cabildo), and the Government House. San Ignacio, the oldest church in Buenos Aires, has a beautiful altar worth visiting. The Catedral Russo Ortodoxo, which is still owned by Russia, is among the city's finest architectural ornaments with its characteristic Russian onion domes. A visit to one of the city’s many museums could make a medical tourism visitor lose himself in history.

Streets Worth a Walk Through

The allure of Buenos Aires lies in its historic streets and avenues, many of which have been witness to the reshaping of its history. Avenida 9 de Julio (reportedly the broadest boulevard in the world) commemorates the date of Argentina's independence from Spain in 1816. Avenida de Corrientes, the hub of the nightclub and theater district, is also known as the Broadway of Argentina. Interspersed throughout this lively locale are hundreds of great restaurants, bars, dancing shows, and anything else that a night owl might want in a festive holiday.
