Things to do in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires , the capital of Argentina, is one of the largest cities in Latin America. It offers a large variety of cultural events, while the nightlife is lively. Dubbed as the “Paris of the south”, Buenos Aires has a European feel…with a Latin twist.

There are plenty of things to do here, some of them tree, so if you are planning a trip to Buenos Aires, make sure to read our suggestions.

A walk through La Boca

La Boca is the oldest neighborhood in Buenos Aires and it can surely be a tourist trap. But it’s also an interesting cultural experience. You can see tango being danced on the streets, interesting cafes and soon enough you won’t know where to point that camera of yours.

You can also visit San Telmo, with its colonial-style houses and cobblestone streets.

Take a self guided tour

What’s best then exploring your city at your own pace, but with the help of a map and tours created by the tourist office ? The maps and instructions are free to download so all that’s left is for you to choose the one which sound more appealing.

There are also several websites which offer free guided tours. These are excellent options if you want to learn more about the history of the city and its landmarks. Plus, the tour guide is always friendly and speaks English.

Do some people watching on Plaza de Mayo

It is the oldest square in Buenos Aires and is a lovely place to just do…nothing. Or better said: sit back, relax and watch the people pass by.

Take a photo of the Obelisk

El Obelisco is probably the most important landmark in the city. It’s where the major cultural events take place and where you’ll see the locals cheer after a victorious sport event.

Visit a weekend fair

The Feria de Mataderos (Fair of the Mataderos) takes place every Saturday during the summer months in front of the Mercado Nacional de Hacienda and it’s the best place to browse traditional handicrafts and all things related to gauchos.

Tip: try the food, too. Buenos Aires is known for the excellent steak.

Tango

Ask the personnel at the hotel or hostel about the free tango performances in your area. Or , if you have the money, invest in some tango classes.

Take a special metro ride

Line A still uses wooden cars, which appeal to both kids and adults. Kids under 5 get to ride them for free. It’s best to show up during non peak hours.

Take a walk away from the city’s busy streets

You can walk or bike in Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur (Ecological Reserve), which is a park with lovely views of Buenos Aires. Pack a picnic basket and enjoy a day in nature.

Another option is the Bosques de Palermo (Forests of Palermo), an urban oasis featuring artificial lakes and a lot of trees and roses.

An interesting walk through Recoleta Cemetery

Unless you are a bit morbid – or fascinated by interesting cemeteries – this will sound a bit weird but … Recoleta Cemetery is where Argentina’s notables are having their eternal rest. And the mausoleums and statues are absolutely amazing. Try to find where Eva Duarte de Peron is buried.

A weekend trip to Tigre Delta

There are day tours available to Tigre Delta, a sub tropical paradise away from the city’s hustle and bustle, but , to get to it better, plan for a weekend getaway. It can be easily reached by train from Buenos Aires.

Attend a football (soccer) game

Football (soccer) plays an important role in the life of the Argentine. Nothing will prepare you for the chaos on the stadium but it’s surely worth your time. The game you want to attend is the “superclasico”, a historical “battle” between Boca Juniors and River Plate.

Less Popular Sights in Buenos Aires

While there are certainly more visited places on earth than Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires remains one of the most popular stops on a trip through South America. You can certainly check off the must-see sights in the city, including repeated visits to the Milongas to watch (or dance) Tango or to parillas to gorge on some of the best steaks you’ll ever have – but why not explore off the beaten path in Buenos Aires, too?

A recent article on BootsnAll offers some ideas for seeing a less-visited side of Buenos Aires. These aren’t undiscovered spots, especially because they’re populated by locals, but they do give visitors a different look at a popular city. Among the ideas mentioned is to attend a polo match (soccer is huge in Buenos Aires, but polo is big among the upper crust of BA society), visit the theatre-turned-bookstore of El Ateneo, and relax with the locals at Palermo’s Park. Another funny note in the article is that while much of Buenos Aires is noted for its beautiful architecture, one of the prettiest buildings in the city is the one housing the city’s water department – El Sanitario.

Buenos Aires is regularly touted as one of the loveliest European capitals – despite the fact that it’s not in Europe – and travelers like to talk about how much cheaper it is to visit BA than it is to visit Paris. More recently, however, prices in Buenos Aires are starting to rise. They’re still no match for the prices in Europe, but people making return visits to Buenos Aires may be surprised to find the city impacting their wallets more than it used to.

Budget travelers may need to look a bit harder to find deals to Buenos Aires, then, or opt for hostels in BA as opposed to the hotels they stayed in last time – but as is the case with many off-the-beaten-path attractions, the less-popular BA sights listed in this article can help you save money on your trip to Buenos Aires.

Make Argentina Your Budget Destination

Though the rock-bottom prices of the early 2000’s have gone up considerably Argentina still regularly tops the lists of best cheap countries to visit, thanks to a very favorable dollar to peso exchange rate.  One US dollar will get your nearly four pesos, making the average price for a decent bottle of wine around $4 US and a heaping platter of tender, juicy beef will run you between ten and fifteen bucks.

It’s easy to be put off by the initial cost of traveling to Argentina. Flights to Buenos Aires are not cheap; expect to pay anywhere from $700-$1500 per person, depending on where in the US you’re coming from. But, the extra cost of flights is easily made up once you are on the group. Living large in Argentina on a small budget it quite easy. Cheap Buenos Aires hotels will only cost $25-30 per night for a double room, while slightly more upscale accommodations can be had for under $100. If you’re fine with a dorm bed in a hostel, you can even get by on under $15 per night.

Of course, Buenos Aires is one of the most expensive places in Argentina, seeing as it’s the largest and most cosmopolitan city in the country. In other areas, you can spend even less, though you’ll sacrifice some of the European flavor, low-cost luxury shopping and decadent nightlife present in the capital. For those who want to indulge in fine food, fantastic wine and luxurious accommodations and shopping, Buenos Aires is an ideal destination that allows you to indulge without the high price tag.

Buenos Aires: Romance on a Budget

baromanceLong known as the “Paris of South America”, Buenos Aires just oozes sex appeal. The city itself is gorgeous, home to sprawling parks and gardens, European architecture and of course, the sizzling, sultry tango. While it’s not often thought of as such, it’s actually one of the best cheap romantic honeymoon destinations.

Imagine spending your days strolling arm and arm beneath the ornate facades of buildings like the Teatro Colon or wandering through the largest Japanese Garden outside of Japan. Shop for sexy tango shoes in the Palermo neighborhood, or browse antiques at the San Temlo Sunday market. At night, feast on heaping platters of tender beef and glasses of Argentine wine, all for a fraction of what you would pay elsewhere, and then spend your nights tango dancing at a local milonga.

Thanks to a very favorable exchange rate, Argentina is a cheap destination for travelers from North America and Europe. Airfare to Buenos Aires can be on the expensive side (about $800-$1000 from most places in the US) but the savings you’ll experience once you arrive will offset the extra cost of airfare. You’ll find no shortage of cheap hotels in Buenos Aires as well, with even the most lavish, luxurios properties charging less than what you would pay in other parts of the world.

And once you’ve seen the city, there are plenty of places to get away to – taste wine in Mendoza, take a short boat ride to the charming small town of Colonial de Sacremento in Urugauy or head up to Rio de Janeiro to relax on the beach.
