Palermo Hippodrome (Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo)

If you're feeling lucky, head over to this lavish French-style racetrack. Welcoming visitors since 1876, the Palermo Hippodrome hosts 10 horse races each month and features a casino, shopping area, and delectable French restaurants. Recent visitors are impressed by the beautiful race horses and the elegant facilities. "If you love horse racing, French architecture, and being near large roads than this is your spot," says one TripAdvisor user.

The Palermo Hippodrome is conveniently located off of Libertador Avenue, just a five-minute walk from downtown. If you're planning to use public transportation, take subte Line D to the Palermo stop. For more information, consult the Palermo Hippodrome's official website.
