The architecture is stunning and the perfect place to feel like a poet while wandering about the small streets of the cemetery surrounded by sculptures and mausoleums!

6. Explore Plaza de Mayo, the heart of Buenos Aires
Plaza de Mayo is, without a doubt, one of the most iconic historic sites in the city center. it is the oldest park in Buenos Aires, where many important moments in Argentine history happened.
It is where the May Revolution (Revolución de Mayo) that led to Argentina’s first National Government and the destitution of the Spanish Viceroy took place in 1810.
Nowadays, you’ll find the most important national buildings and landmarks there, which I talk about below:
6.1. See the government house: La Casa Rosada (The Pink House)
La Casa Rosada is a government house whose final structure was designed by Francisco Tamburini and features a romantic and eclectic style. One of the main reasons La Casa Rosada is famous worldwide is because of the iconic balcony where Eva Perón gave her speech, which can be admired from Plaza de Mayo.
PRICE: free
6.2. Dive into history at the Cabildo Museum
Most revolution and independence gatherings and popular discussions happened in the Cabildo. It was built in 1580, and some parts of it are still intact, but others were demolished to build streets and avenues.
Visiting the Cabildo Museum is a great way to learn about Argentinian history and see valuable objects and documents from the XVII and XX centuries.
PRICE: free
6.3. Marvel at the Metropolitan Cathedral’s architecture
Metropolitan Cathedral features a stunning European Architecture style; just by seeing it, you will feel like you are in an Ancient European city. The cathedral is located in the iconic neighborhood of Monserrat and is the main hub for the Catholic Church in Argentina.

7. Walk through the trendy Palermo neighborhood
Palermo has so many different sections in it. You can stroll through the beautiful neighborhood of Palermo Hollywood, named this way because it is the house of many TV and Radio studios and broadcasters in the city. You can visit any of the many parks as well as enjoy a night out filled with music, good food, and drinks!
7.1. Engage in a night at an underground jazz club
Something cool about Buenos Aires is that music and art are absolutely everywhere, and a fun thing to do while you are in downtown Buenos Aires is go to an underground jazz club, which is huge in the city. My recommendation is that you visit Be Pop Club, which is steps away from Plaza Serrano in Palermo.
7.2. Wander around the lush Bosques de Palermo
The greenery in the city is abundant, and that is one of the things that make the capital of Argentina unique! I encourage you to visit Parque Tres de Febrero (Tres de Febrero Park), which features many micro gardens and parks in the city, such as Parque el Rosedal (rose garden), which has more than 92 different types of roses.
There is an Andalusian Patio that replicates the typical patios you can find in Seville! You can also enjoy the green spaces of the Botanical Garden near Plaza Italia. This one, in particular, is a famous meeting place in the middle of Palermo, with many public transport stops nearby!
Los Bosques de Palermo is the ideal place to relax and picnic under the sun while admiring nature and the city ducks!
7.3. Experience Palermo’s vibrant nightlife
If you come to Buenos Aires, one of the things you need to experience is Buenos Aires’ nightlife, and I cannot think of a better place than Palermo.
This neighborhood is full of trendy bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and music venues. Whatever you want, you can find it here. Feel hungry at 3 a.m.? Chances are the kitchens are still open, and you can order a gourmet burger or milanesa napolitana!
Get ready for a fun night and stay up chatting at a bar or dancing until 6 a.m. As we say in Argentina, “La noche está en pañales” (our version of the night is young, which literally translates into “the night is on diapers” 😹 🍼)
8. Dance the night away at a traditional Tango show
What better thing than watching a tango show at Astor Piazzolla Theatre, named after the Argentinian Master Astor Piazzolla, one of the most important musicians of the XX century and the most important Tango Musician in the world!
On this tour, you will enjoy a traditional tango show while you enjoy a delicious traditional meal from Argentinian Cuisine and some lovely Malbec!

9. Stroll along the scenic Puerto Madero waterfront
Puerto Madero is one of the fanciest neighborhoods in Buenos Aires and one of the must-stops during your visit to the city. The area has a lovely blend of European architecture mixed with modern skyscrapers.
I highly suggest you walk alongside Río Darsena Sur, check out the Puente de la Mujer (which symbolizes a couple dancing tango), and stop by any of the many restaurants and cafés with a view of the river.

10. Visit the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes
This museum is one of my favorite museums in the city, and a great aspect of it is that it’s 100% free. The National Museum of Fine Arts has temporary exhibitions in its art galleries featuring national and international artists; for example, some famous temporary exhibits include Picasso and Joan Miró.
In its permanent collection, it features art from Argentina and Latin America, as well as from the rest of the world. One of my all-time favorite pieces in the museum is Francisco de Goya’s paintings.
PRICE: free
11. Dive into Argentine literature at El Ateneo Grand Splendid
El Ateneo Grand Splendid is one of the best and most iconic Buenos Aires attractions, also known as one of the most beautiful libraries in the world. This stunning library was built in the 1900s but wasn’t always a library. Back then, it used to function as an opera house, hosting ballet, concerts, and plays! It even became a cinema at some point!
Nowadays, it functions as a library, and when you are inside, you can see the theater boxes and stage. You can access the theater box area that is now filled with books and take pictures of the stunning frescoes in the ceiling, or go to the stage area and buy a coffee in the coffee shop! (map)
PRICE: free
12. Take a tango lesson in the birthplace of dance
Take a tango lesson from local maestros! You know what they say: there is no better way to learn than by doing! So, if you want to master those sexy Tango moves, what better way than with a tango lesson?!
On this tour, a local will teach you everything you need to know about Tango art and its moves, and at the end, you will have the chance to sit at a table and taste amazing local wine, as well as empanadas (veggie options available!). I recommend this one to encounter local culture and Argentinian hospitality personally!

13. Explore the wonders of the Japanese Garden
The Japanese Garden (map) is located in Palermo, and it is another one of my favorite attractions and gardens in Buenos Aires. It feels like you are literally going into a different world; it transports you directly to Japan!
The Japanese Garden is the perfect oasis to relax in the middle of the city. It comes with a big koi pond and many traditional bridges and sculptures. I highly recommend stopping by the gift shop, getting a souvenir, going to the on-site restaurant, and trying a traditional Japanese meal in Argentina!
PRICE: from US$2 per person
14. Enjoy a bike tour of the Palermo District
When you book the tour, make sure you select the North Buenos Aires bike tour, which will take you to all of the main attractions in Palermo in a fun and unique way while you learn about Argentine culture and history.
This is a practical way to speed up sightseeing if you only have 2-3 days in the city.
PRICE: from US$35 per person
15. Experience soccer passion at a local game
As a football fan, I can only recommend attending a football match! The excitement, the passion, the energy in a soccer game is unmatchable with any other thing in the world! If you want to experience a real encounter with Argentinians’ passion and love, watching a soccer game is a must!
I am a River Plate fan, so I can only recommend visiting the Monumental and watching a River Plate game. So drink some tea before going to the stadium because you will be singing and screaming “goal” from the top of your lungs here! Don’t forget your jacket, the stadium is near El Rio de la Plata, and it gets super cold at night!
River Plate’s stadium, El Monumental, is the biggest and most impressive stadium in South America.
If you can’t get tickets to a football game but still want to see the stadium, with this tour you can learn about football history and the football team, as well as see the Monumental!

This tour is a great way to learn about the city and its artists, as well as getting to visit one of the most popular and trendy neighborhoods in the city.
PRICE: from US$10 per person
17. Enjoy traditional Argentinean cuisine
We are very passionate about everything, including food! So when you visit Buenos Aires, indulge in the local cuisine. Asados are probably one of the best-known traditional meals, and usually something that people eat in the family every Sunday while watching a football game!
The food at Bodegones is just different! Bodegones are the most traditional type of restaurant in Buenos Aires that are full of history and serve traditional meals, wines, beers, and desserts!
You know the bodegon is real when they come with the penguin pitcher to serve wine, oh la la! Just thinking about eating in one makes me emotional!
Honestly, the best way to get to know the best joints is by joining a guided tour. This one I found seems great, and it takes you to the best eating spots in the beautiful area of Palermo, guided by a local!
PRICE: from US$85 per person
18. Experience the cultural exhibits of Centro Cultural Kirchner
The Kirchner Cultural Center is rather stunning; it is one of the most important cultural centers in the world, the biggest one in Latin America, and a National Heritage Site.
It was built and designed by the French architect Norbert-Auguste Maillart in 1928, with unique architecture. Initially, it served as the Central Post Office and now functions as a cultural center.
All the activities, workshops, exhibitions, and cultural concerts and events are completely free.
19. Marvel at the modernity of Floralis Genérica
Located in Recoleta, on Avenida Presidente Figueroa Alcorta, Floralis Genérica is another iconic landmark in Buenos Aires. It was made by Eduardo Catalano, and it was gifted to the city. The sculpture represents all the flowers and opens and closes in different types of the day.
It is in United Nations Park, so the location is great for picnics or walks. There is nothing nicer than visiting when the jacaranda is blooming, and the entire avenue is purple!
20. Experience the flavors of Buenos Aires’ ice cream parlors
You probably didn’t know this, but we are quite crazy about ice cream. And if you go to ice cream parlors, you can even get ice cream by the kilo. One of the most iconic and well-known ice cream parlors is Freddo, which you can find on almost every corner of the city.
The 2 flavors I recommend are Dulce de Leche Granizado and Tramontana. In my family, we order Dulce de Leche Granizado, which comes with bits of chocolate, while Tramontana is cream with dulce de leche and biscuit balls covered in chocolate. 😋 Yes, we like sweets!
21. Visit the MALBA for contemporary Latin art
This modern art museum is located in the lovely Palermo Chico area and has a wide collection of Latin American Art. It features changing exhibitions and promotes the fraternity between the Nations. The museum architecture itself is another piece of art with an avant-garde style, which is fantastic!
The museum has a gift shop and a café, which I highly recommend stopping by for a treat after a visit and relaxing with views of the city and the jacaranda trees!
You can skip lines by buying the tickets on their official site.
PRICE: from US$6 per person
22. Dive into local flavors on a wine-tasting tour
Another thing Argentina is known for is its wine, to be more precise, Malbec. If you want to get to know everything about Argentinian wine, how it is processed in different regions, and their different tones. This intimate wine-tasting tour of 1 hour and a half, led by a local guide, will turn you into an expert!
PRICE: from US$40 per person
23. Visit the Museo Evita for a dive into Argentina’s history
This museum has free entry, and as the name suggests, this museum is dedicated to Evita Perón. The museum is a timeline of her personal life, her relationship with Juan Domingo Perón, his influence and work in Argentina, and the social causes she devoted her life to.
It is located in beautiful Palermo, so after the visit, you can go for a nice meal in the area or at the on-site restaurant.
24. Savor a picnic in the Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve
If there is something that Buenos Aires is, it is versatile! Something incredible about my city is that you can go to a natural reserve in the middle of the city. It is located near Puerto Madero, in Costanera Sur, and entrance is free of charge!
This natural reserve is the perfect place for a relaxing stroll, a picnic break, or spotting all the amazing wildlife that lives there.
Are you up for a fun challenge? Try to find the mysterious and iconic Tegu when you are there. 🦎
25. Take a ferry to the picturesque Tigre Delta
If you love day trips when you visit a city, you will love going to Tigre, beyond the city limits. Once in Tigre, you can visit the Puerto de Frutos, which has amazing traditional food, such as empanadas and alfajores with dulce de leche, or alfajores de miel de caña (cane honey), which are typical from the north of the country.
If you are traveling with kids, get them a sweet treat, aka an alfajor, and take them to the most iconic theme park in Buenos Aires, El Parque de la Costa, and spend the day away having fun on the amusement rides!
If you want to make your visit to El Tigre mega memorable, I suggest you get this cool tour that will take you on a ferry to El Tigre. From there, you will make it to the main landmarks and attractions in the area! Taking this tour is a great way to see a beautiful area in the city in a unique way!

I’ve recommended so many dishes thus far, but why not try something braver? Join a cooking class and get the chance to learn how to make a traditional dish from scratch. A local guide will teach you the history of the dish and how to do it properly. Now, you can impress your friends back home!
Empanadas are both a street food option and a gourmet one! And in this cooking class, you will learn how to make them from scratch, even the dough (which is so tricky!). While cooking, you’ll get to try mate and alfajores de maicena with dulce de leche! (cornstarch alfajores).
The best? You’ll end the class tasting your creations with some mouthwatering malbec!
PRICE: from US$80 per person
Book an empanada cooking class
28. Visit the Museo Nacional de Arte Decorativo
What an interesting museum! Museo Nacional de Arte Decorative offers free entry and features amazing art and furniture from Europe and Asia. It has a distinguished French neoclassical style, and it is so beautiful all you will be able to do is snap pictures of everything!

Thank you Yulia for this complete article with accurate information. Great job!. Me and my family visited many of the places mentioned, in the first days, ad we stayed for a whole month in January 2024. If you allow me, I would like to add some must-see places, not so well known, for those who have already visited the classics and want to know more. I recommend traveling to the town of the gauchos, in the small city of San Antonio de Areco, 110 km from Buenos Aires. Gaucho stands for a cowboy. There we found gauchos walking, on horseback, in the stores. And gaucho museums, with typical objects – obviously, a large number of “mates”! -. I also recommend visiting the “Children’s Republic”, for a full day, the first themed amusement park on the American continent that inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland. It is located 60 kilometers from Buenos Aires.
BuenosAires is a beautiful city, especially in December when the Jacaranda bloom in full purple color!
Yes, it’s wonderful!
There is no guidance about Iguazu Falls, Glaciers National Park and Ushuaid. Can you shed some light on them?
Thanks
Dr.Nilesh Baxi
That is because this post is about Buenos Aires 🙂
I have been to Iguacu falls a very long time ago before I became a blogger, but if you ask your questions maybe I will be able to reply.
I havent been to Ushuaia yet.
Is Argentina safe for lone-travel woman?
You should pay attention to your belongings and not leave it unattended (basically like everywhere else), but other than that it is very safe for a solo female traveler, yes!
amazing!! thank you so much 😀
I was there in 2013 and we did 9 on your list. It was such an awesome vacation mixed with lots of history and fun. I highly recommend Buenos Aires. Thank you for your list.
We are headed there next month, would you recommend Tigre or Colonia?
I havent visited Colonia, but Tigre was certainly nice and easy to reach!
Hello. Colonia is in the other side of Rio de la Plata river and it is actually in Uruguay.
But Tigre is a very nice place pretty near Buenos Aires city.
Great list! I was in Buenos Aires earlier this year. Wish I had time to learn to tango!
This was such a great overview! I really want to visit now! I had no idea there were so many things to see. The blooming flower sounds amazing, and I would definitely want to try mate too! Thanks for the insights 🙂
You are very welcome Eliza! Buenos Aires has it s charm, a unique mix of europe and South America, I simply loved it!
Fantastic. I lived in Buenos Aires and have gone back several times. It’s a great city with tons of culture to display.
Absolutely! I d love to come back and live in the city for a while too!
