Best Things to do in Buenos Aires | #29 Travel Guide, Argentina

This city is enormous and super-hot in summer and to save you some sweat we present you our top 12 (why not ten?) things to do in Buenos Aires (BA).

Browse at the El Atenea Bookstore:
To the El Ateneo you can go because of your love for books or because of your love for architecture, because both desires will be satisfied.

Cross Avenue 9 de Julio:
This street is as immense as the city and the people of BA believe it to be the widest avenue in the world. When crossing the street, you are able to see the monolith and the silhouette of Evita on one of the skyscrapers.

Enjoy Ice Cream:
Argentina has some of the best ice cream in the world. So, make sure you try some when you are in Buenos Aires.

Stroll through Caminito:
It is the most colorful neighborhoods in BA and it is so, because a local artist at one point thought that the suburb needed an upgrade. He started to paint all its walls and set up a stage where other artists could perform. One of them even composed a famous song by the name of Caminito.

Join a free Walking Tour:
Those tours are actually not free. But you pay at the end depending on how much you liked the tour. And this gives a great incentive to the tour guide to do an awesome job.

Visit San Telmo Market:
On Saturday there is a huge fair around San Telmo. They sell all sorts of antiques and second-hand items and a lot of street artist present their skills. You can listen to local singers and musicians, watch a tango show or stare at the living statue of busy peasant. There are hat stores and cafes and when the fair ends you best make your way into the San Telmo Market where you can eat through the food culture of BA.

Relax in the Green Spots:
Even though this city is so big, there are a lot of green areas in it. And one of the most beautiful ones is the Rose Garden. You can walk around, cross little bridges and inhale the essence of those extraordinary flowers. But make sure that you enter before 7 o’clock because somewhere in between 7 and 8 they stop letting people in.

Cool down at Aquafan:
And in case the shade of the rose garden isn’t enough, we can recommend the Tigre region with its aquapark. It’s a fun experience for kids and everyone who stayed young in his mind. But be sure to bring a lot of patience, because the lines at the water slides can be extremely long.

Listen to the Stories of Recoleta:
Recolecta is not only the oldest cemetery in BA it is also one of the biggest and most beautiful outdoor museums in the world. Many rich families are buried here. And because they wanted to make sure that their grave represents their social status, the cemetery is full of unique statues and stone carvings. But to really dive into its history it is best to book a tour. We did our tour with Guru Walking tours and learned more stories and legends than we could have ever found on the internet.

Eat delicious Steaks:
Argentinian steaks are said to be the best in the world. And where better to eat them than in Argentina. The difference to Switzerland is, that a regular filet weights about 400g and the price tag is way lower. I guess we will never be able to eat steak again in Switzerland. And of course, you have to combine it with an Argentinian wine – preferably Malbec.

Attend a Tango Show:
There is no way you will ever understand the culture of this city without experiencing their famous dance. We went to the Show “Señor Tango” as it is rated the best Tango show in the city and it absolutely fascinated us.

The show started with horses as the farmers were the first to dance the tango and it ended with Evita the iconic former first lady of Argentina. In between some of the best tango singers and musicians mystified us with their voices and strains. And of course there was dancing. So much dancing of such an elegance and expression that we totally fell in love with BA.

Shop at Galerias Pacifico:
Even if you don’t plan on shopping in one of its shops it is worth a visit. Because it is as beautiful as Galeries Lafayette in Paris.

We hope we could inspire you to travel this fascinating city. If you like the video give us a thumb up and subscribe to our channel so you won’t miss our next episode! Because in this one we go back to Switzerland. And explore our other channels:
