What you'll see and do
Facultad de Derecho - Universidad de Buenos Aires
The Faculty of Law building is inspired by the purest Doric style, with no other decoration than that provided by its own monumental structure. It occupies an area of 40,000 m2 that is distributed on the ground floor, main floor and two upper floors, and has a museum, an art gallery, and a specialized library. Inside, in the assembly hall, a large oil painting by the artist Antonio González Moreno stands out, describing the inauguration ceremony of the University of Buenos Aires.

Floralis Generica
The Floralis Generica is a metal sculpture located in the Plaza de las Naciones Unidas, Avenida Figueroa Alcorta, in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, a gift to that city by the Argentine architect Eduardo Catalano.This imposing 20-meter-high sculpture dominates the United Nations Square and opens and closes depending on the sunlight it receives. This is the first moving sculpture controlled by a hydraulic system and photoelectric cells. The monumental thing is that this dynamic is carried out in a stainless steel work 20 meters high and weighing 18 tons.

La Recoleta Cemetery
The Recoleta Cemetery is located in the exclusive Recoleta neighborhood, which owes its name to the fact that the convent of the Recollect monks was located there. It is the most visited in the city, due to its numerous and impressive mausoleums and vaults, belonging to many of the main protagonists of Argentine history, such as that of Eva Perón (Evita), along with former presidents Raúl Alfonsin and Domingo Faustino Sarmiento. Also, we have the story of Liliana Crociati, represented by the statue of a girl standing with a dog: To pay tribute to her daughter and her art, in the midst of the pain that invaded them, Liliana's parents asked the renowned sculptor Wifredo Viladrich to design a neo-Gothic tomb with a bronze sculpture. In addition, they wanted her to have some details: that she wears a wedding dress, has an engagement ring on her finger and is accompanied by a replica of her dog, Sabú

Worst tour ever
Worst tour I have ever been on, guide didn’t know anything about the area nor showed us anything. Most entertaining bit was when the guide started translating what a near by Spanish guide was saying. The company also refused to provide a refund …..
Response from the operator: Hello, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We will take it into account in order to grow. We hope to see you soon to let us make amends for that bad moment!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Experience Recoleta in Buenos Aires Little Paris: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Experience Recoleta in Buenos Aires Little Paris cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Buenos Aires usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Experience Recoleta in Buenos Aires Little Paris take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Buenos Aires is not rushed.
Is Experience Recoleta in Buenos Aires Little Paris worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Buenos Aires, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Experience Recoleta in Buenos Aires Little Paris?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Experience Recoleta in Buenos Aires Little Paris suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Experience Recoleta in Buenos Aires Little Paris?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Buenos Aires can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Buenos Aires and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Experience Recoleta in Buenos Aires Little Paris start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Buenos Aires within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Buenos Aires?
+
On Outty we rank every Buenos Aires experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Argentine Cooking, Wine & Beef Tasting at Argentine Experience, Historical Sherpa Food Tour of San Telmo with Street Food, Drinks, Cooking Class with Empanadas Steak & Flan by Argentine Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Buenos Aires?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Buenos Aires?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Experience Recoleta in Buenos Aires Little Paris?
+
Included: Recoleta Cemetary entrance ticket. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Experience Recoleta in Buenos Aires Little Paris?

+
It is offered in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Experience Recoleta in Buenos Aires Little Paris?
