Day 2: Buenos Aires (Neighborhoods of Palerma and La recoleta)
Spend a day immersing yourself in the beauty of Buenos Aires, accompanied by a knowledgeable private guide. Most visitors to Buenos Aires are struck by the fact that it boasts the glamour of a European city, and nowhere is this more palpable than in Palermo and Recoleta. Your day begins at the splendid Plaza San Martin, right in the heart of Buenos Aires. Designed by French landscape architect Carlos Thays, the plaza is surrounded by some of Buenos Aires’ most impressive public structures. Drink in your surrounds as you drive along Alvear Avenue, a sort of smaller-scale Champs Elysées, up to Recoleta cemetery, where generations of the Argentine elite have been buried, including Eva ‘Evita’ Peron. From here, the journey continues north to Palermo, lined with colonial mansions and cafés, restaurants and boutiques and further divided into trendy, creative, chic and cool areas called Palermo Soho, Palermo Hollywood and Palermo Viejo. Your tour concludes by driving down the Avenida 9 de Julio, one of the widest boulevards in the world. En-route, your private guide will introduce you to the spectacular 19th-century Teatro Colón, home to one of the most lavish interiors in the world.
Day 3: Buenos Aires (Neighborhoods of San Telmo and La Boca)
Embark on an exploration of magnificent San Telmo and La Boca, two of Buenos Aires' most beloved neighborhoods. San Telmo is without question one of the trendiest quarters of the city thanks to its cool, bohemian atmosphere and famed antique shops. Plaza Dorrego is the place to be on Sundays to find anything from antiques, memorabilia, second-hand clothes to dusty magazines during its traditional Antiques Fair. Next, set out to experience La Boca, arguably one of the city's most authentic neighborhoods. La Boca's history was largely shaped by immigrants who established themselves within this gritty port-side barrio. A working-class district, La Boca has jealously guarded its identity, of which soccer and tango are major ingredients. What will strike you immediately is the peculiar architecture, especially along Caminito Street, which in 1959 was declared an outdoor museum. It is the work of one of Argentina’s most famous painters and neighborhood philanthropists, Quinquela Martín. He gathered neighbors to paint the houses, made of tin and scrap metal, in bright colors, emulating the early immigrants. The most recognizable icon, though, is La Bombonera (the Chocolate Box), right in the heart of the area and home of the Boca Juniors, the country’s largest soccer club.
Day 4: More of Buenos Aires
A whirlwind of discovery awaits during a day at leisure in enchanting Buenos Aires. Argentina's dazzling capital invites you to explore its very best, boasting an unforgettable collection of museums, restaurants, historic monuments, and sprawling green spaces in each of its barrios. For art aficionados, a visit to the MALBA museum is a must, while the grand 19th-century Teatro Colon is sure to impress. Stroll down El Caminito in La Boca to see the famously vibrant houses, the perfect backdrop for a souvenir photo. Indulge your sweet tooth at the San Telmo Market, or discover local artisanal products during its weekend showcase, where you can immerse yourself in local culture amid cobblestone streets and contemporary art spaces. Book lovers should make a point to stop at El Ateneo Grand Splendid, a palatial cinema transformed into one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. Take in a tango show or try your hand (and feet) at the famous Argentinian dance yourself with the help of a professional lesson. Unwind at the Plaza de Mayo, simply soaking in the scene and observing the towering white obelisk commemorating the country's independence from Spain. The city offers plenty of stunning botanic gardens ideal for an afternoon stroll or a serene respite during a day of non-stop adventure. Buenos Aires may well be the best place in the world to catch an exclusive tango show, and the nightly performance at Café de Los Angelitos may well be the best in the city. This evening, enjoy a special night out as you are picked up from your hotel by a private driver and a bilingual guide, setting out for Café de Los Angelitos.
