Introduction
Buenos Aires is a city like no other. It’s not just a city, but rather a melting pot of cultures and traditions—and it’s home to some of the best food and wine in the world! If you’re planning a trip there, you’ll want to know where to stay, what sights to see, and where to eat (and drink) in this beautiful metropolis. But don’t worry: We’ve got your back. From the traditional neighborhoods of Palermo Viejo to hipster-friendly Palermo Hollywood, here are our favorite places to explore Buenos Aires as both tourist and local alike.
Stay in a charming boutique hotel.
If you are looking for something a bit more special, consider staying at one of Buenos Aires’ many boutique hotels. These establishments offer a more intimate experience than their larger counterparts and often cater specifically to travelers who want to immerse themselves in the culture.
In addition to providing guests with comfortable accommodations and friendly service, they also offer unique amenities such as yoga classes or cooking classes (which can be taken together). If you’d like to explore the city on your own terms without feeling rushed or pressured by tour guides, this is an excellent option!
Boutique hotels are located throughout Buenos Aires but tend not be located right next door to each other; most have their own unique style and personality so don’t worry if one doesn’t seem right for you–there are plenty more options where that came from!
Explore the Recoleta Cemetery.
Recoleta Cemetery is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Buenos Aires, and with good reason. It’s a beautiful place to visit, with many famous people buried there.
The cemetery was founded in 1822 by Monsignor Jose Gregorio Hernandez. He chose its location because it was close to an existing church (which still stands today). The neoclassical design of his creation remains intact today as well as its role as a final resting place for some of Argentina’s most influential citizens.
Grab a bite at one of the city’s best restaurants.
- ‘La Cabrera’
This restaurant is one of the best in Buenos Aires, and it’s a must-visit for anyone who loves good food. Order the grilled veal chop, which comes with mashed potatoes and a side salad. You’ll find this restaurant in Palermo Soho (one of the city’s trendiest neighborhoods) at Paraguay 2160.
- ‘Don Julio’
If you’re looking for something slightly more upscale than La Cabrera but still want some great steak, then look no further than Don Julio! Their tenderloin filet mignon will melt in your mouth–and make sure not to forget about their black truffle fries on top! This place has locations all over town: Recoleta at Juncal 919; Puerto Madero at Av Rivadavia 2700; San Telmo at Defensa 837; Palermo Hollywood at Gurruchaga 1430
Visit the famous La Boca neighborhood.
La Boca is a neighborhood in Buenos Aires, famous for its colorful buildings and bright murals. The area’s art scene has inspired many artists over the years, and you can see their work all over town.
La Boca is easily accessible from downtown by taking the subway to Station Carlos Gardel (Line A). From there, walk toward Avenida Caminito until you arrive at Plaza Almirante Brown on your left hand side. The street is lined with bars and restaurants where people gather to drink beer or have lunch–and sometimes both at once!
If you’re feeling adventurous after eating all that delicious steak, hop on a bus heading south toward Dock Sud/Tigre ferry terminal; this will take about an hour depending on traffic conditions but offers some spectacular views along the way!
Shop for traditional crafts on Calle Florida or Avenida Alvear.
Calle Florida is a pedestrian street in the heart of downtown Buenos Aires. It’s a major shopping street and tourist attraction, with many stores that sell traditional crafts, such as leather goods, wood carvings and silver jewelry.
If you’re looking to buy an Argentine souvenir but don’t want to deal with the crowds on Calle Florida or Avenida Alvear (a similar shopping area), head over to Plaza Dorrego instead! This open-air market features local artisans selling their wares right on the streets–and it doesn’t get any fresher than this!
Take a walk around Puerto Madero.
Puerto Madero is a waterfront neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was originally a warehouse district, but has since been redeveloped as an important tourist destination.
In the past few years it’s become one of my favorite places to visit in BA. There are so many different things to do here – from walking around the port or taking pictures at sunset on one of its piers, to checking out some great restaurants or bars!
See the best sights from a rooftop bar or terrace bar in Palermo Viejo or Palermo Hollywood.
- Palermo Viejo and Palermo Hollywood are the best neighborhoods for rooftop bars.
- Palermo Viejo is the best neighborhood for terrace bars.
- The combination of both rooftops and terraces in Palermo Hollywood makes it an ideal place to go out and see the city from above!
Buenos Aires is a city with so much to see and do that you can never run out of things to do there!
While Buenos Aires may not be the first place you think of when you’re thinking about vacation destinations, it’s a city with so much to see and do that you can never run out of things to do there! The city has everything from museums, art galleries and theaters to parks, shops and restaurants. Buenos Aires also has several neighborhoods where locals live their daily lives; this means that tourists can get an authentic view of life in Argentina through their eyes.
If your trip happens during summertime (December-February), consider visiting Puerto Madero–a neighborhood filled with beautiful mansions built by wealthy merchants during colonial times–or Palermo Soho–an artsy area full of shops selling everything from locally made clothes to antique furniture pieces sourced directly from Argentina’s interior provinces (think: gauchos). If winter is your preferred season for travel then head over toward Recoleta Cemetery where some famous Argentines such as Eva Peron lie buried; take time out while passing through here because there are plenty more attractions nearby including Plaza Italia which hosts many festivals throughout year including Carnaval!
Conclusion
As you can see, there are plenty of things to do in Buenos Aires. You could spend years exploring this amazing city and still not run out of things to do! If you’re looking for something new and exciting, then I highly recommend spending some time in Buenos Aires.
