Heard it used to be free. Now they charge to go in.

Heard it used to be free. Now they charge to go in.

💰 Current situation​

• Argentine residents: usually free entry (with ID/DNI)
• Foreign visitors (tourists): you have to pay
  • Roughly $5–$15 USD equivalent depending on the latest price and exchange rate
  • Paid at the entrance, typically by card

⚠️ Why the confusion?​

• It used to be completely free for everyone
• Since around 2022, the city started charging non-residents
• Prices have fluctuated a lot because of inflation in Argentina

🧠 Simple takeaway​

• Living in Argentina? → Free
• Visiting as a tourist? → Expect to pay a small fee
  
  This isn’t just a cemetery.
  It’s:
  • A history book of Argentina’s elite
  • A maze of stories that never got written
  • The one place in Buenos Aires where everything slows down

It's free for those with DNI. I don't pay anything but my friends do when I bring them.

Yeah. That’s exactly what it already says.

They are very strict. My girlfriend is a local and didn't have her DNI with her but had a photo and they wouldn't let her in. Jerks.
