Buenos Aires Recommendations

items Buenos Aires is a city that never stops surprising me - from leafy parks and hidden cafes to tango filled nights and budget friendly eats. After living here, and giving countless tours to friends and family, I’ve curated my go-to spots for travelers ...

#7 best bar in the world!! Fun vibes, interesting flavors, and they even make their own sake!
Tres Monos
#46 best bar in the 🌎. Intimate spot, perfect for date night. Come early, or make a reservation because it gets PACKED.
Floreria Atlántico
Here’s a great, convenient spot for the iconic medialuna! With plenty of seating, natural light, it is one of the few places you can get the elusive cold brew in the winter! (It’s considered seasonal). We took friends here several times and it never ...
Benigno
FABULOUS shop for leather goods. Big selection, fair prices, and they have a whole floor dedicated to gauchos (cowboys).
Arandu Talabartería
The famous, iconic bookstore/former theatre. Go to the second floor for pics - better to come early in the day, as it gets pretty packed.
El Ateneo Grand Splendid
Absolutely stunning water palace. Check the hours for the small, free museum inside - worth the hike up the stairs. It’s still used for people to come in and pay bills, right behind the clerks are beautiful stained glass windows. One of my favorite s...
Museo del Agua y de la Historia Sanitaria
7 block avenue with high end shops and features some former aristocratic residences (that look like palaces). Here also is the famous Alvear Palace Hotel, where presidents, emperors, and kings have stayed.

There is the super famous Recoleta Cemetery (that now costs about $15 USD for non argentines) or… this beautiful, massive, FREE one.
Chacarita Cemetery
One of my favorite random somewhat hidden spots. Near bars and restaurants, inside a park is this massive old tree, and a statue of Atlas lifting its heavy branches. 🫶
Gomero de la Recoleta - Árbol Histórico
When you come to BA one of the musts is walking on the famous Puente de la Mujer (“Woman’s Bridge”) - the design is meant to remind you of a couple dancing tango. It’s lovely at all times but really comes alive at night. Grab a craft beer at a nearby...
Puente de la Mujer
I love this building. The former Palace of Post and Telecommunications (read: post office) it now serves as an absolutely stunning community center - in fact the largest in all of Latin America. If you checked out nearby Plaza Mayo, duck inside here ...
Palacio Libertad, Centro Cultural Domingo Faustino Sarmiento
Mercado de San Telmo is one of Buenos Aires’ most vibrant sports - party historic market, part foodie haven. Inside you’ll find everything from antique and local crafts to empanadas, choripan, and local produce. On weekends, and especially during fút...
Mercado_santelmo Oficial (@elmercadosantelmo)
You’d be remiss if you skipped the neighborhood of La Boca. Famous for colorful houses, art, tango, and its iconic street art. If you want a more in-depth view, consider joining a guided tour, I wouldn’t recommend leaving the main drag.
