Itinerary
Buenos Aires
Welcome to Buenos Aires, where you will enjoy an overnight city stay. Explore this cosmopolitan city which has been nicknamed the ‘Paris of South America’. Brimming with Belle Époque architecture, leafy boulevards and lively cafés, the city pulses with Latin passion – from the love of football and flame-grilled asado to the intimate rhythm of tango.
Some of the highlights are La Boca, a colourful, creative mecca with a must-do art walk, and San Telmo, a former aristocratic neighbourhood that was abandoned during a 19th-century epidemic.
Glamorous and gritty, Buenos Aires is two cities in one. What makes Argentina’s capital so fascinating is its dual heritage—part European, part Latin American. Plaza de Mayo resembles a grand square in Madrid, and the ornate Teatro Colón would not be out of place in Vienna. But you’ll know you’re in South America by the leather shoes for sale on cobbled streets and impromptu parades of triumphant soccer fans. Limited-production wines, juicy steaks, and ice cream in countless flavors are among the old-world imports the city has perfected.
