Going to Buenos Aires: Vacations, Tourism, Hotels, Things to Do, and Airports

What to do in Buenos Aires

Long fêted as the Paris of South America, Buenos Aires today might be more accurately called the Paris of the 1920s. Drawn by the city’s affordability and Parisian-style elegance, legions of artists and entrepreneurs—local and foreign—are transforming the sprawling metropolis into a hotbed of cool. You can see the renewal in long-neglected industrial ’hoods like Barracas, where warehouses have morphed into art studios, clubs, boutique hotels, and restaurants. Like their Spanish cousins, Argentineans like to dine late. True carnivores, many think nothing of dining on a slab of steak at midnight. Some say the flavor of the Argentinean beef is more robust, the fat a little bit sweeter, but all you have to do is taste one bite to understand why porteños (locals) in BA will wait an hour for a spot in their favorite parilla (steakhouse).

jchandler rates Buenos Aires

traveled to BA many times for business and found the city vibrant, and fun. And I found the locals to be friendly. Crazy traffic however. A must do is to enjoy the city and then escape to the countryside. Can't wait to go back as a vacationer someday.

Four days in Buenos Aires, what should we do?

We're spending 4 days in Buenos Aires and want to experience the local culture and scenery. We DO NOT want to shop or only do tourist things. What are the things we should not miss? Are there any volunteer opportunities that you know of that we can participate in?
