Recoleta, Buenos Aires

 
The barrio of Recoleta is the most sophisticated neighborhood in Buenos Aires. Not only is it home to stylish shops, antiques, art and haute couture, it is the most fashionable place in BA to dine. So why take the kids? Feria Artesanal de Recoleta, the city’s largest open-air craft market, is held here on weekends. Argentina’s most important art museum, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, is located in this French-style neighborhood. And Recoleta is the home to the gravesite of Eva Peron. A trip to Recoleta Cemetery is a lesson in art and history as well as a macabre adventure for children.
