What you’ll do

Waste no time in Buenos Aires, thanks to your host who will guide you to must-see spots in the heart of the city, while giving tips on how to spend the rest of your trip like a true porteño. See where historic events unfolded at the famous Plaza de Mayo, while popping a peek at the presidential (and pretty in pink) Casa Rosada. Nearby, marvel at the architecture of Casa de La Cultura and other lesser-known spots, while taking note of the best eateries. Next, wander past culture hotspot Manzana de las Lucas or escape the hustle of the city center to nearby bohemian wonderland San Telmo, where you can marvel at the colonial architecture and shady plazas. San Telmo is a tango hotspot, so be sure to ask your host where to catch the best tango in town – olé!
