What to do and Where to stay in
Buenos Aires
Vibrant Buenos Aires, set on the coast surrounded by the wild beauty of the Argentinian Pampas, is one of South America’s most captivating cities. Its early prosperity left behind a striking legacy of European-style architecture and rich cultural heritage. Argentinians take great pride in their capital being a true cultural hub, known for its arts, music, literature and progressive spirit.
Today, Buenos Aires is an exciting blend of faded grandeur, timeless traditions and modern style. Stay in boutique luxury hotels, indulge in fine dining and world-class Malbec wines, stroll down historic cobbled streets, and shop everything from local crafts to designer fashion. Whether you’re visiting for the tango, the culture, or the nightlife, this dynamic city offers an unforgettable Argentina travel experience.

Experiences in Buenos Aires
The unerringly friendly Porteños (locals of Buenos Aires) are a melee of different origins, and wherever you go, you’re guaranteed a warm welcome. Art lovers shouldn’t miss the MALBA Museum, home to Latin American masterpieces by Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and more. For those with more of a sporting interest, head to La Bombonera Stadium, home of the legendary Boca Juniors, or try your hand at polo in Palermo—one of the city’s most elite pastimes. For a taste of rural life, spend a day at a traditional Argentine estancia.
One of the city’s most iconic sights is the Recoleta Cemetery, where Eva Perón rests among ornate mausoleums and fascinating history. And of course, no trip to Buenos Aires is complete without experiencing tango—either by watching a live show or joining a class yourself. Top picks for a tango dinner show include La Esquina de Carlos Gardel and Centro Cultural Torquato Tasso.
When it’s time to unwind, pull up a chair at one of Buenos Aires’ historic literary cafés, like the beloved La Biela, and soak up the city’s unique blend of elegance, culture, and charm.
