BUENOS AIRES PLAYLIST:    • Argentina - Iguazu, Buenos Aires & More!  

Buenos Aires in three days, first-time visitor edition. This Buenos Aires vlog follows our 3 days in Buenos Aires itinerary with real logistics: what’s walkable, what is faster with Uber, and the details that make the city easier. We stayed at the Howard Johnson on Florida Street, a no-frills hotel that is affordable and perfectly located for exploring downtown. Our Howard Johnson Florida Street room tour is on the channel if you want to see it before you book.

How we got around Buenos Aires: we walked a lot because many of the top things to do in Buenos Aires are close together if you stay central. Uber was cheap, so we used it for longer jumps between neighborhoods like Recoleta, Palermo, San Telmo, and La Boca. We also used the Subte (Buenos Aires subway) twice; you can tap-to-pay with most chip credit cards, but for our routes it was not faster than Uber. Buses exist everywhere too. We tried to take one and it never came, so we walked.

Day 1: downtown icons. Plaza San Martín, Torre Monumental, and a look at the Art Deco Kavanagh Building from the park. Then Florida Street shopping (we liked the mix of local shops), a dulce de leche stop at La Casa del Dulce de Leche, and Galerías Pacífico for the interior architecture and a very practical restroom break. Plaza de Mayo is the historic core: Cabildo (free entry, great balcony view), Casa Rosada, and the Metropolitan Cathedral with the Pope Francis connection. After that we hit the Obelisco at Avenida 9 de Julio, then booked a Teatro Colón guided tour (English tour times are limited, and video is not allowed inside). We wrapped the night in Puerto Madero with a Negroni happy hour stop, a quick look at Puente de la Mujer, and the option to add Buque Museo Corbeta ARA Uruguay before calling it an early night.

Day 2: Recoleta and Palermo. We Ubered to Cementerio de la Recoleta, did a quick stop at Basílica Nuestra Señora del Pilar, and swung through the free Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes. Then it was Floralis Genérica, the Museo Nacional de Arte Decorativo for mansion interiors plus modern installations, and Jardín Japonés for a reset (El Rosedal is nearby too). We shopped Palermo Soho and caught an outdoor market, then did a quirky happy hour at Restó Bar Porto Pirata (fun once, not a repeat). Tango note: if a tango show is important to you, book in advance. We did not, and we missed out, but we did catch some street tango. We finished with the best meal of the trip at Santos Manjares: a classic parrilla night with skirt steak to share, chorizo, grilled veggies, and fries.

Day 3: San Telmo Sunday plus the contrast day. Mercado de San Telmo, the Feria de San Telmo, and Plaza Dorrego are peak timing on Sunday, and it’s a great way to see the market and the street fair zone in one go. We grabbed choripán-style sandwiches at La Choripanería, then did second lunch at Café Tortoni with medialunas, churros, and an el submarino hot chocolate. In the afternoon we took a Palacio Barolo tour (Dante’s Divine Comedy theme, big views, and the lighthouse when available), and we walked back at night for the short window when the lighthouse is illuminated. We squeezed in Abasto de Buenos Aires for a quick indoor mall and entertainment complex, then went to La Boca in daylight for Caminito, the harbor, the touristy shops, the quirky wax museum, street music, and a PROA stop. If you’re doing La Boca, keep it daytime and keep your plan tight around the main area. We ended our time in Buenos Aires with steak and sausage at El Mirasol (they have multiple locations).

Buenos Aires travel tips: dinner runs late (8 pm is normal, 10 pm is not weird). Credit cards were accepted almost everywhere, and we had a hard time getting Argentine pesos, so small US bills were useful for tips and tiny purchases (do not expect change back). Tipping often happens as a separate transaction, so be ready to tap your card again or leave cash. Safety is mostly petty theft: keep your phone under control in crowded areas and markets, and take an Uber at night when you’re tired instead of forcing a long walk.
