Congress Central here with all the government administration buildings around the park square in this area of town.
The national congress building is fascinating to see. The design is beautiful and amazing certain covering the whole outside of the building.
Unfortunately, everything was closed when I visited this area. But it seems that they offer tours inside the building with advance planning and notice.

Buenos Aires has a lot of nice metro parks. This park is within walking distance of the blue A Metro line.
There's also a decent shopping mall two blocks to the west (Caballito) and any places to shop and eat in between.
To the far west corner of the park many vendors have stand setup selling books. It seems to be pretty popular with the locals if you're into buying, trading or selling used books.
The park is particularly busy in the evening during the cooler hours of the day. It's a great place to come and relax for a while and big enough that you don't hear as much of the city noise in the background.

Hoped to be able to tour the inside, but they had pretty tight security around the building and not allowing tourists to even go inside of the perimeter fence that was set up.
Took a few pictures from the memorial plaza/park area adjacent to the palace. This building functions as a government/state building and houses many offices and meeting rooms for high ranking government officials in the Chilean government.
A nice display and many flags and memorials to past leadership are also found on the ground and around the area. This is one of the key buildings you'll find on many of the Chilean souvenirs. It's a significant historical landmark.

A nice, free museum in the park. Lots of natural history exhibits (mostly models and pictures with historical explanation). Only a few exhibits have English included displays.
Came here with my friend from Brazil and it's a nice break from walking in the park. Give yourself about an hour to 90 minutes to enjoy the full display.
There's also an outdoor railroad museum (mostly for kids) not too far to the south west of this museum, still in the park. It's CLP 1.500 for admission 🎫

I arrived this morning right at about 11am and was let in free. But the cost of €3 (read in another review below) is will worth your time to see the exhibits on display here.
Wow! Spain has definitely made their historical mark on the world. Ground floor is Asia (mostly Philippines). First floor is Africa. Second floor is Americas. This museum is a great reminder how much influence Spain has had throughout the years of history following their glory years of exploration and colonization.
You can probably get through this museum within an hour if you really rush. Two hours is more appropriate to see and appreciate everything. I went through in about 90 minutes or so and really feel enlightened by everything I saw and read.
I snapped some pictures, but they don't really do justice, so make sure you go if you can carve out time. It's well worth it.
