Things To Do
Double-decker bus
This is a great way to see the best of the city in one afternoon (though your ticket lasts 24 or 48 hs.) Yes, it's a bit touristy, but it gives you great panoramic views while allowing you to hop on and hop off, so you are free to do all the exploring you want along the way. Buses run every 20 minutes from 9-5pm. English headphones are available. Includes recommended places like el Caminito in la Boca, the Colon Theater, the Recoleta Cemetery (hello, Evita!) and our favorite stop, the Palermo parks.
Rosedal Palermo (Rose Garden)
Truly the most magical and romantic rose garden, and Britton's top pick in Buenos Aires. Right on the edge of the Palermo neighborhood, step out of the hustle and bustle and into this fairytale oasis. The rose garden itself is only half the draw. You can rent paddle boats, pack a picnic (or eat at adjoining cafés), and get some good people watching in. You might even get offered a sip of someone's yerba maté.
La Peña Del Colorado
This is where we met. Though the music may not be as good as that night, it was worth a mention!
Street Art Tours
A cool option for the hip, artsy, and socially engaged. Learn your way around while getting a tour of some world-class street art. In English. Duck into a coffee shop or ice cream store when you get tired (try Freddo for a more traditional gelato-style treat or Alchemy for more of an adventurous, hipster selection)
