Start from 46 curated places around Buenos Aires, AR, then choose the recommendations that fit your guests.
Restaurants & cafés
Don Julio
The Palermo parrilla ranked among the world's best restaurants while still feeling like a warm neighborhood grill, with bottle-lined walls signed by guests. Grass-fed Argentine beef, in-house charcuterie, and a deep Malbec list are the draw.
Anchoíta
A contemporary Argentine restaurant in Chacarita built on house charcuterie, an in-house bakery, and a wood grill. It's a more inventive take on the country's produce than the classic parrillas.
Trails & outdoors
Bosques de Palermo
The city's largest green space, a flat sprawl of lakes, the famous Rosedal rose garden, and tree-lined paths used for running, cycling, and rowing. It's the porteño weekend escape into green.
Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur
A surprising wetland nature reserve on reclaimed land beside Puerto Madero, with flat trails through reeds and lagoons teeming with birds and the río in the distance. It's wild nature minutes from downtown.
Things to do
Teatro Colón
One of the world's great opera houses, a lavish 1908 hall with near-perfect acoustics hosting opera, ballet, and orchestra. A performance — or even the guided tour of its gilded interior — is essential Buenos Aires.
MALBA
The Museum of Latin American Art, a sleek glass building holding a superb collection from Frida Kahlo to Argentine modernists. It's the essential stop for understanding the continent's 20th-century art.
Landmarks & sights
Cementerio de la Recoleta
An astonishing city of the dead in Recoleta, a maze of ornate marble mausoleums and statuary where Argentina's elite — including Eva Perón — are entombed. Wandering its avenues of tombs is unexpectedly moving and beautiful.
Caminito
A short, brightly painted street-museum in working-class La Boca, where corrugated houses in vivid colors recall the port's immigrant past and tango dancers perform for the crowds. It's vivid, touristy, and unmistakably Buenos Aires.
