Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1
Buenos Aires
Arrival at Ezeiza International Airport. Meet and greet, followed by a transfer to the selected hotel. Day at leisure to get a first feel for Buenos Aires, Argentina's vibrant capital, famous for its blend of European architecture, rich cultural life, and passion for tango, soccer, and good food. On this first day, we recommend visiting Café Tortoni, the city's oldest café, founded in 1858, with its unmistakable French style and imposing 1898 facade by the renowned architect Alejandro Christophersen. Another suggestion is Confitería La Ideal, one of the most iconic and majestic of the city's Bares Notables (Notable Bars): founded in 1912 by the Galician merchant Manuel Rosendo Fernández, it is now a jewel of the Buenos Aires Belle Époque in the heart of the Microcentro (downtown). At lunchtime, it is hard to resist an Argentine-style pizza at Güerrín or Las Cuartetas. In the evening, we will enjoy a dinner show—a three-course menu with one bottle of wine for every two people, plus tango and folklore performances—at Michelangelo, in the historic heart of the city, in the San Telmo neighborhood. The current building dates from 1885, and one of its main attractions is a network of 18th-century tunnels once used for smuggling. Accommodation at the selected hotel. Overnight in Buenos Aires.
Day 2
Buenos Aires
Breakfast. In the morning, we will begin our five-hour premium city tour (on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons, the tour is bilingual and includes Italian). This excursion offers a complete picture of Buenos Aires, showing places that are part of the everyday life and customs of the porteños, as locals are known, such as the promenades of Tres de Febrero Park, the racecourse, and the polo grounds. It also covers historic areas such as Plaza de Mayo (with a stop), San Telmo, and La Boca. We will make a stop in La Recoleta to see its world-famous cemetery (admission not included) and the Church of El Pilar. We will also see other city landmarks such as the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Obelisk, and the main avenues, notably Avenida Corrientes, Avenida de Mayo, Avenida 9 de Julio, Avenida Alvear, and Avenida del Libertador. We will discover the most historic neighborhoods, such as La Boca (with a stop) and San Telmo, aristocratic Palermo and Recoleta, and modern Puerto Madero, as well as Lezama Park and the commercial and financial districts.
