Buenos Aires
Our hotel was located close to the main attractions, only 6 blocks from the Casa Rosada and 7 blocks from Obelisco. If you enjoy a lively and busy environment you can stay around the Plaza de la República, where the Obelisco is. If you don’t have plenty of time, I recommend the city tour as it will cover most of the main attractions.
Our first day we took a private tour around the city. We visited the Casa Rosada, the office of the President of Argentina, Plaza de Mayo, the Metropolitan Cathedral of Buenos Aires and Floralis Generica, this was a present from the Argentinian architect Eduardo Catalano to the country. The flower is a symbol of the resurgence of the Argentine nation after years of decadence.
In the evening, we got ready to watch the classic Tango at the famous Esquina Carlos Gardel and had dinner. But before that we took a tango dance class which was funny because my friends and I aren't the best dancers. If you don’t want to miss out on a Tango Concert, be sure to book in advance. The concert was incredible and very good quality.
The next day we had our breakfast, and our driver/guide was waiting for us outside of our hotel to bring us shopping at the outlets. Buenos Aires is great for shopping. Afterwards we left our purchases in the van and went to explore the San Telmo Fair, famous for its stalls selling antiques and curiosities. That evening we had dinner at the Steak House Cabana Las Lilas.
The following day we visited the beautiful Puerto Madero with views of the woman's bridge. Puerto Madero is modern neighbourhood surrounded by tall buildings and a variety of restaurants, night clubs, shops & cafes. From the docks of Puerto Madero, we took a small boat to San Isidro & Tigre Delta. While sailing along the waters of Rio Plata you can see mansions owned by famous Argentinian people and the beautiful garden in San Isidro.
After having lunch in San Isidro, we headed to the famous La Boca neighbourhood. Walking through Caminito Streets surrounded by tenement buildings made of wood and sheet metal built by the Genoan immigrants in the 19th century. You will be blown away by the outdoor art and expect to see artists selling their crafts in each corner. We then decided to visit the Boquense Museum, one of the most important football clubs in Argentina. The museum has a very modern and impressive exhibition technique. We also stopped by the River Plate Stadium and after a busy day we went out to enjoy the nightlife in Buenos Aires. The night clubs there start very late, around 12am until 5am. On our last day we decided to take the day for ourselves to enjoy the city at our own pace.
