There’s no better place to tap into local life in Buenos Aires than in the city’s parks. Amid the frenetic urban sprawl of apartment blocks, crowded sidewalks, and honking traffic are elegant plazas and leafy green spaces, where the city’s residents can be found walking their dogs, playing soccer, and strumming guitars. Just as each Buenos Aires neighborhood has its own distinct character, so too do the city’s parks, offering everything from birdwatching to rollerblading.
