Palermo’s Rose Garden: Places to visit in Buenos Aires
The Palermo neighborhood gives Buenos Aires a green lung in the midst of its cement: Tres de
Febrero Park, also known as Palermo Woods (Los Bosques de Palermo), with its different kinds of
trees, artificial lakes and rose gardens.
+ PALERMO ROSE GARDEN
The Palermo Rose Garden forms part of Buenos Aires’ Cultural Heritage and is the most visited
place in Tres de Febrero Park.
Designed by landscape artist Carlos Thays, the Rosedal is filled with roses in bloom. These delicate
flowers scatter their varied fragrances throughout the gardens.
A wrought-iron fence outlines the garden perimeter. It has an enormous dock and inviting sun-
filled paths to tempt you to explore and breathe pure air. When you want to stop, rest, and
admire the scenery, you will find benches to sit on and fountains to soothe you while busts of
famous writers offer you a taste of literary culture.

The White Bridge or Lovers’ Bridge: As its name indicates, this bridge attracts lovers who wish to
protect their love by performing a lovers’ rite. Legend says that lovers must hold hands, step on
the first step at the same time with their right feet first, then stop in the middle of the bridge to
kiss.
