Morning

Fly into Ezeiza International Airport (EZE). Take the Manuel Tienda León bus to the city centre (€12, 45 minutes) — much cheaper than taxis. Check into your hotel in Palermo or San Telmo. Coffee at El Federal on Carlos Calvo in San Telmo — the oldest café in Buenos Aires, marble tables, excellent cortado.

Afternoon

San Telmo Market (Mercado de San Telmo, Defensa 961) — a covered market from 1897 with antique dealers, food stalls, and tango dancers on weekends. Then Plaza de Mayo — the Casa Rosada (the Pink House, free tours on weekends), the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the Cabildo. La Boca neighborhood and the Caminito (the famous colourful alley) — touristy but worth 30 minutes.

Evening

Dinner at Don Julio on Guatemala in Palermo — the best parrilla (steakhouse) in Buenos Aires, consistently ranked in the World 50 Best. The bife de chorizo (sirloin) and mollejas (sweetbreads) are exceptional. Book 2 weeks ahead or join the queue at 7pm. Tango show at Café de los Angelitos on Rivadavia (€85 including dinner) — touristy but spectacular.

Where to Stay

Palermo Soho (boutique hotels, best neighborhood) or San Telmo (historic, atmospheric). Recommended: Casa Calma Hotel (Palermo) or Mansion Vitraux (San Telmo).
