Holiday In Buenos Aires
When you’re on holiday in Buenos Aires, a lot can happen beneath the beautiful columns of the Catedral Metropolitana—and we mean a lot.
Located on the shores of the Rio de La Plata and ridiculously close to the South Atlantic Ocean, Argentina’s capital sways to its own sultry seaside beat. Tango your way through the city streets or belt out your own homage to Evita Perón—just grab some Buenos Aires package deals and join in!
Things to Do in Buenos Aires
With a name that means “good airs”, it’s no wonder Buenos Aires is full of easygoing vibes. Before you get caught up in a whirlwind, pick up one of lastminute.com.au’s sweet Buenos Aires car hire deals and breathe in some peace and quiet at Bosques de Palermo, a waterfront collection of internationally inspired botanical gardens right next to the airport. Follow that up with some unnatural beauty at the nearby Museo Nacional De Arte Decorativo, then trade the polish for street art in the neighbourhood of Palermo.
Next, wander through the maze of presidential mausoleums—including Evita Perón’s—at Cementerio de la Recoleta directly east of Palermo. Speaking of Evita, learn more about Argentina’s courageous and controversial leader at Museo Evita, located south of Bosques de Palermo. If you can’t help but burst into a ballad or into tears, that’s OK the museum staff has come to expect it. But dry your eyes, because this Buenos Aires holiday is just getting started!
Shopping, Dining & Nightlife
Take advantage of the stellar weather with open-air shopping at Feria de San Pedro Telmo, a neighbourhood built on cobblestone streets west of Puerto Madero. Throughout the city, you can get your hands on Argentina’s own designer fashions, as local artists have really stepped up their glitz and glam game in the last few decades. Save some extra fun money when you book one of our Buenos Aires packages, and come home with a one-of-a-kind wardrobe!
If you’re like us, your ears perk up at the mention of “Soho”—any Soho. Well, in Palermo, the small area known as Soho is the place to be to eat for days. Really, you could eat your way through the patio cafes and trendy restaurants. You’ll still be able to find both avant-garde and traditional Argentine cuisine in these renovated warehouses, though—from vegan empanadas to a skirt steak doused in chimichurri.
We hope you remember your dance shoes, because this is tango territory. Swirl away the evening at a dance hall and catch your breath over a cold glass of Torrontés, Argentina’s beloved white wine. Of course, there’s always malbec, too. If the dance floor isn’t for you—WHAT?—take a seat at Teatro Colón, Buenos Aires’ premier performing arts venue since 1908.
