Jardín Japonés (Japanese Garden)
The Jardín Japonés is one of the best open spaces for quiet contemplation away from the noise and pollution of the city centre. Created in 1967 as a gift from the Emperor of Japan, the garden is a tranquil park of Asiatic shrubs and trees beautifully landscaped around a small lake bubbling with huge carp fish.

Puerto Madero
An ambitious regeneration project has turned this former working dock into a lively and popular area for a stroll, a drink or a bite to eat. The old redbrick warehouses now house galleries, bars and restaurants. Old docking cranes line either side of the dock, which is spanned by the Puente de la Mujer (Bridge of the Woman).

Reserva Ecológica (Ecological Reserve)
Built on land reclaimed from the River Plate, this 360-hectare open space has become a verdant nature reserve packed with plants and creatures typical of the region. Paths for walkers and cyclists crisscross the park and there are many viewing platforms.
