How to get to Recoleta Cemetery

How to get to Recoleta Cemetery depends on where you are staying, but every route ends at the same gate: Junin 1760, in the heart of the Recoleta district.¹ Look for the four columns that mark the entrance, with the white basilica on one side and the green squares of Plaza Francia spreading out below.² The English tour sold on this site meets right there, its guide waiting beside the ticket booth.

For planning a route, the city offers BA Como llego, an online map and app that suggests the way from any address by public transport, by car or on foot.⁷ Enter the cemetery's address as your destination and it will compare options for you. It is the simplest tool for working out the trip from a hotel in Palermo, San Telmo or the centre.

Recoleta also rewards arriving on foot. The tourism board lists it, with San Telmo, Palermo and the downtown microcentro, among the districts that reward walking at your own pace.⁸ If you are staying within a few kilometres, walking in along Avenida Alvear, past its mansions, is part of the experience.⁹

By subte, bus or taxi

The underground, called the subte, has six lines, A, B, C, D, E and H.¹⁵ For Recoleta, the tourism board's own itinerary uses line H at Las Heras station, at the corner of Las Heras and Avenida Pueyrredon, a walk of several blocks from the cemetery gate.³ From the station, walk towards Plaza Francia and the white bell tower of the basilica, which you will see above the trees before you reach the gate.

Neither the subte nor the buses take cash: you tap a SUBE card that you top up with credit.⁴ You can pick one up at any subte station, at kiosks all over town, or at one of the eight city tourist offices.¹⁶ There is even a machine for recharging SUBE cards at the Recoleta tourist office, handy for the ride onwards.¹⁷

Taxis are easy to find. Licensed taxis run on meters and charge only in Argentine pesos, and you can also book one with the city government's BA Taxi app.⁵^,¹⁸ Ask for the cemetery on Junin street, and keep a few small notes ready for the fare. Coming back, the taxi stands and avenues around Plaza Francia make it simple to pick one up.

Arriving for a tour or on your own

If you have booked the English tour, aim to arrive with time to spare. The listing asks you to buy the cemetery ticket before the tour, at the entrance by card or online, and the guide in an orange t-shirt waits next to the ticket booth at Junin 1760. The tour finishes back on Junin, so you are free to explore the area afterwards.

Other tours meet nearby. The small-group cemetery tour meets outside the cemetery near the cafe La Biela on Avenida Quintana, with its guide in a blue cap. A Recoleta neighbourhood walk also starts from La Biela, and a Recoleta and Retiro free walking tour finishes there. La Biela is a natural landmark: if in doubt, ask for it.

On your own, make the city tourist office on Avenida Quintana your first stop; it is staffed daily between 9am and 6pm.²³ Charge your phone, fill your bottle and check the map on its Wi-Fi there, and you are ready for a five-hectare cemetery.¹⁷^,²⁴ Staff there can also point you towards the gate and confirm the day's opening hours, which saves a wasted walk on a holiday.

Things to do near Recoleta Cemetery

Things to do near Recoleta Cemetery begin next door. The Basilica de Nuestra Senora del Pilar opened in 1732, to a design by the Jesuit architects Bianchi and Primoli, and its baroque main altarpiece carries Inca ornament and silverwork from Peru.⁶^,⁷¹ Its doors stay open late, until 22:00, opening at 7:30 from Monday to Friday and at 8:00 on Saturday and Sunday.¹¹

Beyond the basilica stands the Recoleta Cultural Centre, in a building of 1732 that was first the convent of the Recollect friars and later a hospital, barracks, homeless refuge and old people's home.⁶⁰ Today it has 27 exhibition rooms, a micro-cinema, an auditorium and an amphitheatre.⁶¹ It opens from Tuesday to Sunday, with guided visits at 16 hrs.¹⁹

Below, on the square most people call Plaza Francia, the weekend craft fair sells work made by the stallholders themselves in ceramics, leather, wood, metal and wool.⁶⁴ Strictly it occupies Plaza Intendente Alvear, and the stalls open on weekends and holidays, from 10 in the morning until 20 hrs.⁶⁴^,²⁰ Look out too for the huge gomero tree near La Biela, older than the city itself, 50 metres across and 25 metres tall.⁷²

Further on, across Avenida Figueroa Alcorta, the steel flower of Floralis Generica stands 20 metres high and weighs 18 tonnes.⁶⁷ Its six petals open at 8am and close at midnight, a moving sculpture that has become an emblem of the city.¹⁴ On the way you pass the Faculty of Law, an imposing neoclassical building of 1949 used by the University of Buenos Aires.⁶⁸

For a view, the National Library at Aguero 2502 offers a city panorama from its fifth floor, and visitors are asked to bring identification.²¹^,⁷⁰ It opens from 9 to 21 hrs on weekdays.²¹ Booklovers can head the other way, to El Ateneo Grand Splendid on Avenida Santa Fe, a former theatre turned bookstore with about 120,000 books and a bar on the old stage.⁷³

Restaurants near Recoleta Cemetery

Restaurants near Recoleta Cemetery cluster around Plaza Francia and along Avenida Quintana and Junin, with tables spilling onto the pavement in good weather. The best known is La Biela, regarded by the tourism board as the city's oldest cafe; from its terrace you look across the square to the cemetery wall, the Pilar church and the cultural centre.⁶²^,¹²

La Biela is one of more than 80 bars and cafes that the city government has declared bares notables for their historic, cultural or architectural importance.⁷⁴ Eating or taking a coffee in one of them is a small piece of Buenos Aires heritage in itself, and a calm way to end a visit that can leave you reflective.

If you prefer something quieter, the cafe at El Ateneo Grand Splendid sits on the stage of the old theatre, a short walk away on Avenida Santa Fe.⁷³ For a full meal, walk a few blocks off the square into the side streets, where you will find neighbourhood places used by people who live in Recoleta. On weekends it is worth booking ahead for dinner, since the square draws crowds to the fair.

A half day around the gate

A simple half day starts at the cemetery when the tourist window opens at 9 hrs, with a guided tour or your own loop.¹⁰ Go early and you will have the quietest hour of the day among the vaults, before the heat and the groups build up. Afterwards, step into the Basilica del Pilar next door and on to the Recoleta Cultural Centre a few doors further along Junin.¹¹^,¹⁹

From there, cross to the craft fair if it is a weekend or holiday, then take a coffee at La Biela.²⁰^,⁶² Walking on, the fine arts museum on Avenida del Libertador and Floralis Generica beyond it fill the rest of the afternoon, and the city's own Recoleta circuit, estimated at 2.5 hours, follows almost exactly this line.⁷⁵

Leaving the cemetery and turning left, the first street you cross is Avenida Alvear, which the tourism board describes as lined over seven blocks with some of the city's most expensive mansions.⁷⁶^,⁹ It is the elegant way back towards the centre, and a fitting end to a day spent among the monuments of Recoleta.
