Introduction

The Casa Rosada, located on the east side of Plaza de Mayo, is a Spanish-style building famous for its iconic pink color. In 1873, President Sarmiento painted the presidential palace this color to symbolize the unity of various political factions. Currently, the government uses the building for work and meetings Monday through Friday, while it is open for free public visits on weekends. To visit the Casa Rosada, tourists must make a reservation online in advance, then queue up upon arrival to receive a group number before entering for a 30-minute tour with Spanish and English-speaking guides.
