Paz Palace (Palacio Paz)
Ave. Santa Fe 760, Buenos Aires, ARG
Nestled in the heart of Buenos Aires, the Paz Palace is a testament to the city's architectural splendor. This magnificent neoclassical palace offers visitors a captivating journey through time and culture. With 140 illustrious rooms across 129,000 square feet (12,000 square meters), the former residence provides much to explore.
The Paz Palace offers guided visits on select days of the week, and a reservation is required via email. These tours provide an opportunity to explore the ornate interiors adorned with opulent chandeliers, intricate frescoes, and lavish furnishings. You’ll also hear the stories of the influential figures who once walked these halls and learn about Argentina's past. Travelers who are short on time can take a Buenos Aires walking tour, which takes guests past the palace exterior.
Palace visitors and the general public are welcome to visit the on-site restaurant, Croque Madame.
The Paz Palace houses the National Museum of Armaments, which can be visited separately Monday through Saturday.
Visitors should wear comfortable shoes, as tours involve a lot of walking.

San Martin on the C Line is the nearest subway (Subte) station and exits immediately outside the palace.
