Palacio Arabe

This grand neo-Gothic monument, characterized by its bell tower and multiple spires, lords over the lively main square of Mar del Plata.

Mar del Plata’s huge main square is home to architectural treasures, a children’s play area, public art and a weekend handicraft market.

Go behind the scenes on a guided tour of this 19th-century theater and attend concerts of classical, flamenco, jazz and tango music.

Explore the great outdoors at Plaza Mitre, a lovely green space in Mar del Plata. Wander the beaches and seaside in the area.

A short walk from the historic center is this tree-lined square, a great place to do some people-watching and let children enjoy recreational activities.

Long sweeping beaches, watersports, wildlife spotting, elegant architecture, historic villas and superb art museums make this a popular Argentine beach town.
