Looking for the ultimate Buenos Aires city guide for your next trip? Look no further! Often referred to as the “Paris of South America,” Buenos Aires is a mix of Madrid’s exuberant architecture and Manhattan’s grand scale. With massive multi-lane avenues and towering skyscrapers, the city is just as impressive at street level with designer neighborhoods, historic landmarks, and non-stop cocktail bars.
Before you go, it’s worth researching different neighborhoods and hotel options to make the most of your time in this sprawling capital. Once you’re there, take a moment to sit at a leafy sidewalk cafe and start planning your itinerary.
One of the must-visit locations in Buenos Aires is the Casa Rosada, the seat of government located on Plaza Mayo. Not only is it a historical landmark, but it also serves as a museum telling the national story from colonial times to the present day. And if you’re a fan of Evita Peron, be sure to visit the museum dedicated to her life and legacy.
Another unique experience in Buenos Aires is a visit to the Recoleta Cemetery, a mini-city of the dead with a vast array of elaborate tombs and mausoleums. Tango enthusiasts should check out Bar Sur, a local and intimate venue for drinks, dinner, and a live accordion performance. For a change of pace, consider taking a day trip to Tigre, a charming small town in the wetlands accessible by a short train ride.
When it comes to accommodations, there are several options to choose from. For a neighborhood feel, check out Home Hotel in Palermo Hollywood. If you’re looking for luxury at a great value, consider Anselmo Buenos Aires, Curio Collection by Hilton or Recoleta Luxury Hotel. Book your stay today and discover the magnificence of Buenos Aires!
