Travel Planning
10Buenos Aires is globally recognised for its beauty and culture. Known as the Paris of Latin America, the City that Never Sleeps and the Queen of the Silver, it offers cultural diversity around every corner. There is always something to do — no matter what you like, we have it.
The minimum is 3 days to see the most iconic parts of the city. 4–5 days introduces you to the more intimate side of city life at your own pace. A week or more is recommended to deep dive into porteño culture and visit nearby locations like Tigre Delta or estancias.
The best time is during springtime (September–November): pleasant climate, sunny days, flowers in bloom and ideal for late-night walks. Autumn (March–May) is also great with fewer tourists. That said, Buenos Aires is beautiful in every season.
Buenos Aires is a big city with lots of movement on its streets. We recommend taking care of your personal belongings as you would in any large metropolis. Enjoy yourself safely!
Top must-dos: watch a tango show, enjoy a traditional Argentine asado, explore San Telmo's market, visit our museums, see the world's most beautiful bookstore (El Ateneo Splendid), explore the Recoleta Cemetery and visit the Teatro Colón.

Culture & Local Life
8Because of its strong French influence in architecture, urban design and sophisticated culture inherited from its golden age between 1880 and 1930. Recoleta and Retiro are known for their palaces, wide avenues and coffee shops that emulate Parisian elegance.
Tango was born on the banks of the Río de la Plata, fusing African culture, gaucho dances, indigenous traditions and European influence. UNESCO recognised it as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009.
Many tango houses offer wonderful shows: Café Los Angelitos, El Viejo Almacén, La Ventana, El Aljibe, Señor Tango, Tango Porteño and many more.
Buenos Aires has strong Italian and Spanish culinary influence. Famous dishes: asado (premium beef cuts), choripán, empanadas, provoleta, milanesas, pizza porteña, dulce de leche and alfajores.
Argentine beef is famous for its quality — most cattle are field-raised and grass-fed, much more distinctive than feedlot beef. The result is more tender and juicy meat, perfected through the asado cooking method.
Non-alcoholic favourites: mate, sparkling water from a "sifón", "submarino" hot chocolate, specialty coffee and cold mate ("tereré"). Alcoholic must-tries: Fernet con Coca, Argentine wines, local beers and aperitifs like Gancia, Campari and Vermut.
Mate is a traditional hot beverage and cultural symbol — bitter or sweet, often shared between friends and family or enjoyed alone. It uses a mate (gourd container), bombilla (metal straw) and yerba mate, which contains antioxidants and vitamins.
Coffee culture (especially the merienda) is huge here. Top spots: Café Tortoni, Café Tabac, Petit Colón, Las Violetas, La Ideal, La Rambla, Confitería San José and Amayta Pâtisserie.

Spanish is the official language, but many locals speak English (it's taught at school). Our tour guides and full staff speak excellent English. If you meet someone who doesn't, they'll absolutely try their best to understand you.
