Our editorial assessment — not user ratings.

Parque Tres de Febrero spreads across Palermo, around the junction of Avenida Sarmiento and Avenida del Libertador. You can explore it on foot, by bicycle or from one of the lakes by boat, where life jackets are compulsory. The park also holds a rose garden, the planetarium, a museum and the Palermo racecourse.

Boat and bike hire cost extra, but the park’s pages do not give a price. The trade-off sits with the city’s guided bike tours that start by the planetarium: they come with a minimum age, need advance registration and an ID or passport, and are called off when it rains.
