Everything you should know before you book
Buenos Aires rewards a guided first day. The classic city tour stitches together Plaza de Mayo, the colourful caminito of La Boca, San Telmo's cobbles, and leafy Recoleta and Palermo — the kind of orientation that makes the rest of your trip easier to navigate.
Several guided tours add a marquee landmark. Tours that include the Teatro Colón pair the city overview with a walk through the opera house's golden hall, and a combined culture tour bundles the Colón with MALBA museum tickets. The Palacio Barolo tour climbs the Dante-inspired tower for the city's best skyline view.
