    La Biela

    Grab a drink and settle in. La Biela is a luxurious café where you can sit outside under a huge ancient ficus tree. The atmosphere is perfect for relaxing before the evening rush.

    Floralis Generica

    Walk to Floralis Generica. This giant mechanical metallic flower sculpture is a striking sight. It closes at sundown, so you have just enough time to see it while the sky is bright.

    Floralis Generica

    Watch the sunset. As the sun sets toward the WSW, the flower sculpture will be silhouetted against the golden and twilight sky. This is the key moment of the evening.

    Palacio Balcarce

    Head to Palacio Balcarce for dinner. Located on the first floor of a beautiful building, this restaurant offers a lovely atmosphere for a meal after the sunset.
