Buenos Aires: Argentina’s Gateway City

If your trip begins or ends in Buenos Aires, you’re stepping into one of South America’s most vibrant cities. Before heading out to explore, here’s a quick guide to make the most of every day.

What not to miss

San Telmo and Puerto Madero. The historic downtown keeps its cobblestone streets, antique shops, and neighborhood tango halls, while a few blocks away Puerto Madero shows the city’s most modern side, with skyscrapers facing the river and the Puente de la Mujer as a must-see landmark.

Recoleta and its cemetery. One of the most impressive cemeteries in the world, filled with mausoleums that look like small cathedrals. Afterward, the neighborhood invites you to stop for coffee at one of its classic cafés.

Palermo. Split into Soho and Hollywood, this is the city’s food and design hub. Signature bars, clothing fairs, and the Japanese Garden to unwind from the city buzz.

A night of tango. Whether at a traditional milonga or a show for visitors, experiencing tango in Buenos Aires is something you won’t find anywhere else.
