Biking: 3 incredible routes in Buenos Aires

Chosen among the favourite neighbourhoods of Buenos Aires locals, the combination of tree-lined streets and the completely different rhythm of Palermo, Caballito, Villa Crespo, and Colegiales, becomes a breath of fresh air within the city that never sleeps. But not only that: with beautiful historical sites, the gastronomic scene has grown significantly in recent years, and you can take the opportunity to enjoy a good snack in the middle of your bike ride.

What to visit?

-Centenario Park: designed by landscape architect Carlos Thays, it is one of the most beautiful green spaces in the area. With an artificial lake where many ducks swim, as you go around the park you will see statues, murals, the impressive building of the Naval Hospital Pedro Mallo, as well as the Bernardino Rivadavia Museum of Natural Sciences.

-Osvaldo Pugliese Monument: tucked away in a corner and almost lost amidst the traffic of the surrounding streets, this monument by Paula Franzi seeks to pay tribute to the great Argentine musician, Osvaldo Pugliese, considered the most important tango director in Argentina.

-Frida Kahlo Mural: Buenos Aires has many incredible murals, and this one is a favorite of many. Created in 2015 by Campos Jesses, it shows a modern version of the Mexican painter. Ideal for a quick stop during your ride, take a selfie with the mural, and continue on your way.

Located in the north of the city and bordering the Province of Buenos Aires (very close to Florida), these three Buenos Aires neighborhoods, along with Villa Pueyrredón, make up what is known as Commune 12. With low-rise residential houses, plenty of green spaces, and important cultural points, biking through these areas is an invitation to see a completely different side of the city that also encourages you to slow down and enjoy the local routines.

What to visit?

-Sarmiento Park: one of the most recognized green spaces in the area, it is also the venue for the Argentine edition of the Primavera Sound music festival. The bike path to explore it is about 3 kilometers long, and from this park, you can enjoy the Ecological Reserve where, since 2014, there has been a water reservoir that prevents flooding in the neighborhood.

-Murals in Saavedra: the muralist movement is strong in this neighborhood. While biking through Brigadier General Saavedra Park, you will come across some of the most beautiful murals: "Espejos" by Sebastián Caneda and "Barrio Saavedra or Experiencia Cromática" by Ale Giorgga and Fa Uno Art, as well as "Círculo Primario" by Julieta Jabberwocky and Fa Uno Art.

-Dot Baires Shopping: the largest shopping mall in the area. Its inauguration meant a whole innovation, both in its structure and its commercial proposal. With stores of the most important brands, if you feel like ending your bike ride with a movie, this shopping mall has premium theaters that are very comfortable.

An incredible mix of the classic architecture of Buenos Aires and the charming modern buildings in one of the most important residential neighborhoods in the city. This combination forms the landscape for a route where you will be able to experience part of the history of Buenos Aires, feeling firsthand the impact of the railway on the metropolis. Belgrano and Núñez are two very touristy neighborhoods with well-known attractions, so take the opportunity to explore the beautiful Coghlan in depth.

What to visit?

-Ana Frank Center: before hopping on your bike, you can visit this small tribute to Anne Frank, which recreates the room where she lived with her family while hiding from the Nazis. It is located at Superí 2647.

-Chinatown: with a project that changed the area forever and highlighted the Chinatown neighborhood, you will not only be surprised by the impressive (and super modern) structure of the train station but you will also be able to enjoy the new passage where many gastronomic, retail, and decoration stores have opened. It's worth getting off your bike and taking a walk around.

-Santiago Apóstol Parish: built in 1927, if you're a fan of visiting religious temples, this is a building you shouldn't miss. A key part of the late Neoromantic movement, it retains its original cladding as well as the stained glass windows.
