Audio Guide of Palermo Woods

The park as a whole is open to the public 24 hours a day, but the famous Rose Garden is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (closed on Mondays). You can get there easily by taking Subway Line D to Plaza Italia station or by using the various bus lines that run along Avenida del Libertador.

Access to the parks, the Rose Garden, and the lake is completely **free**. However, specific attractions within the grounds, such as the Galileo Galilei Planetarium or the nearby Japanese Garden, do charge admission, so it is worth checking their official websites.

For a full visit including the Rose Garden, the Poets' Walk, and a loop around the lake, I recommend setting aside between 2 and 3 hours. If you plan to have a picnic or rent a pedal boat, it is ideal to devote a whole afternoon so you can enjoy it without rushing.

Officially known as Tres de Febrero Park, it was inaugurated in 1875 on lands once owned by the strongman Rosas and designed by landscape architect Carlos Thays. It is Buenos Aires's most important 'green lung,' combining political history with a high-value European-style landscape design.

Without a doubt, spring (from September to November) is the best season, when the more than 18,000 roses in the Rose Garden are in full bloom and the jacaranda trees paint the city violet. During the day, sunset offers spectacular golden light for your photos.

Yes, the vast majority of the main paths are paved and flat, making it easier to get around in a wheelchair or with baby strollers. The Rose Garden has access ramps, although some internal paths in the wooded area may be compacted dirt.

The location is exceptional; you are just a few minutes' walk from the famous Japanese Garden and the Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires, MALBA. You can also take the opportunity to cross over to the Ecopark or visit the Evita Museum if you are interested in Argentine history.

Bring insect repellent if you go in summer, as well as water, since the distances are long for walking. I strongly recommend using an audio guide to understand the meaning of the statues in the Poets' Garden and not miss the hidden details of Thays's design.
