Thays Park and Recoleta Pedestrian Bridge

DSC_0287_1.jpg

One of the most emblematic parks in the city of Buenos Aires is Thays Park, located in the Recoleta neighborhood, it has a large area of ​​more than 4000m², I consider it one of the lungs of the city, although the largest and most significant is the Parque Tres de Febrero, better known as Palermo Forests. There are many well-known statues there, one of them is a bust, a sculpture by a Colombian artist which I have shared with you on other occasions.

This time I did not have time to fully enter the park due to limited time, so I am going to share with you the landscape of the place from different angles.

The beginnings of this park begin in the early 90s, previously there was an amusement park called ItalPark. It was designed by the landscape designer Carlos Thays, who by the way is responsible for the design of many parks in the city of Buenos Aires.

Very close to Thays Park is the Faculty of Law of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), near there is also the subway station on line H that takes us to the pedestrian bridge Dr. Alfredo Roque Vitolo. A very picturesque bridge located in a very good area that allows us to appreciate and admire the urban landscape on the avenue.

Once standing on the bridge we can have this view and appreciate both sides of the avenue, modern and classic buildings and different types of architecture.

The place is highly visited by photographers during the golden hour, blue hour and also at night to practice some long exposure techniques.

Standing from the law school, you can see the bridge in a broader way. According to what I know, the original bridge was built in the 60s and this last one is a reconstruction in 1978. It was named in honor of the politician and lawyer Alfredo Roque Vitolo, who did important work to maintain the green spaces in the area.

This whole area is iconic, very touristy, there are many people from different countries who come to this part of the Recoleta neighborhood and there are many people who want their selfies on the bridge.

The law school building is another attraction that, in addition to being tourist and academic, is recognized for its emblematic architectural design, If I'm not mistaken, it is monumental in style, it has enormous classical columns. A highly sought after and visited place to do street photography, urban portrait productions and more.

Here we see the side part of the faculty building and below we see part of the subway station.

Many windows and balconies, residential buildings and other classic buildings that have been preserved over the years, all together and piled up. I took the photo from Thays Park.

On the pedestrian bridge, we have two different views, in the background we have the retirement neighborhood, you can also see the subway in the frame and the other photo on the other side has another tourist area, other parks, gastronomic areas, shopping centers and later the Recoleta cemetery.

I have lived here for 8 years, although I perceive it as very common, all these areas are still touristy for foreign visitors. It is a nice neighborhood to walk and enjoy its attractions.

I hope you enjoyed this place and also the photos. A hug to everyone and have a nice day :)
