Start your trip by exploring one of the most famous public squares in Argentina, the Plaza de Mayo. This historic square has been the site of many political demonstrations, including the famous revolution of May 1810 which led to Argentina's independence. Here, you can find some of Buenos Aires' most important landmarks, such as the government house of Casa Rosada, and the Metropolitan Cathedral where Pope Francis used to serve as Archbishop.
Located in the posh neighborhood of Recoleta, Recoleta Cemetery is where distinguished personalities of Argentina such as Eva Perón and presidents of the country's history have been buried. This cemetery is one of the top attractions in Buenos Aires, not only for its elaborate tombs and mausoleums but also for its architectural heritage. There are guided tours available for visitors.
End your trip in the colorful neighborhood of La Boca, famous for its vibrant streets and football team, Boca Juniors. The main attraction in this neighborhood is Caminito, a street museum full of art, tango, and history. Here, you can enjoy street performances, artisan markets and taste the delicious Argentine cuisine. If you're interested in football, you can visit Boca Juniors Stadium, also known as La Bombonera.
If you have more time, you can add a day trip to the Tigre Delta, a beautiful natural reserve located on the northern outskirts of Buenos Aires. For less time, you can consider skipping Recoleta Cemetery or La Boca and instead spending more time exploring the historic center and its many museums.
