Days pass through parks, cafés, and old streets. Nights begin late and end even later, with Palermo energy, Recoleta calm, and San Telmo character.

Destination guide
Buenos Aires
You step from a shady park onto a street where football club murals cover long brick walls. Between elegant plazas and graffiti-covered corners, Buenos Aires spreads in walkable blocks of very different barrios. In San Telmo, narrow cobbled lanes hold old houses, antique shops, and the famous Sunday street market. In the plazas, live musicians play tango, with bandoneón and guitar loud around the market stalls. Palermo spreads around big green parks, where many walls show bright street art and playful characters. North of the center, Recoleta Cemetery packs marble mausoleums close together, many with names of famous Argentines. In La Boca, a small fútbol pitch sits beside bright painted houses, so each fast game runs inside a ring of murals.
