Passionate, elegant and endlessly alive, Buenos Aires<\/strong> is the beating heart of Argentina and the starting point for almost every trip to the country. It is a city of grand European avenues and colorful backstreets, of midnight steak dinners and tango drifting out of open doors, of leafy parks and world-class cafés. This guide covers what to see, where the character of each neighborhood lies, how to experience tango and the famous food scene, and the best day trips just beyond the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tango<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The neighborhoods that make the city<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Buenos Aires is best understood one barrio at a time. Recoleta<\/strong> is stately and refined, home to grand mansions and the extraordinary cemetery where Eva Perón rests. San Telmo<\/strong> is the oldest quarter, all cobblestones, antique shops and a famous Sunday street market. La Boca<\/strong> gives you the rainbow-painted houses of Caminito and the roar of the Boca Juniors stadium. Palermo<\/strong>, the largest and trendiest district, spreads across leafy parks, design boutiques and the best of the city’s nightlife and dining, while Puerto Madero<\/strong> offers sleek waterfront walks. In the center, the towering Obelisco<\/strong> marks the world’s widest avenue, 9 de Julio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tango: shows and milongas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tango was born in the port neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, and experiencing it is a must. Visitors can choose between a polished dinner-and-show at one of the historic tango houses — a dazzling introduction with live orchestra, singers and professional dancers — or a more local evening at a milonga<\/em>, where Porteños of all ages come to dance. Many travelers do both. A guided tango show is one of the easiest ways to feel the city’s soul on a first visit, and we can arrange it as part of your stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Buenos<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Steak, wine and the food scene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Argentines take their food seriously, and nowhere more than the capital. The classic experience is a parrilla<\/em>, the traditional steakhouse where prime cuts are grilled over wood embers and paired with a glass of Malbec. Beyond the asado, the city has embraced a vibrant modern dining scene, from Palermo’s inventive bistros to historic cafés like the landmark Café Tortoni. Do as the locals do and pause for coffee and medialunas in the afternoon, then eat dinner late — rarely before nine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best day trips from Buenos Aires<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The city is also a springboard for easy escapes. The Tigre Delta<\/strong>, less than an hour away, is a maze of leafy waterways explored by boat. A traditional estancia<\/strong> in the surrounding pampas offers a taste of gaucho culture, horseback riding and a country asado. And just across the Río de la Plata lies Uruguay: the UNESCO-listed colonial town of Colonia del Sacramento makes a perfect day trip by ferry — see our guide to day trips and travel to Uruguay<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to visit and how many days<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Buenos Aires is a year-round city, but spring and autumn are the most pleasant, with mild temperatures and the jacaranda trees in bloom around November. Summer can be hot and humid while many locals head to the coast, and winter stays relatively mild. Give the city at least three full days to enjoy its neighborhoods, a tango evening and a day trip without rushing. Most travelers use Buenos Aires as their hub, flying out to the Iguazú Falls<\/a> and the glaciers of Patagonia<\/a> and returning between legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
