Fabulous finds & Hidden Hints: Get familiar with Buenos Aires


 Walk. Camino. Camino.
As much as possible. See the city and go beyond the walk that the guide book suggests. If you speak Spanish you may be compelled to ask a local for their top three in B.A. My suggestion (if you have the time and the energy): Start: - Grab breakfast in Palermo: Viejo or Soho is packed with places. - Continue on to the city center (if you are lucky you may be able to catch Las Madres de Plaza Mayo on Thursday marching in memory of los desapericidos. - From there head over to San Telmo for lunch or drink. Grab a spot in the main plaza to enjoy a street tango show or head up to a place that has a balcony on the second floor for excellent people watching. - Continue from there to Puerto Madero.

Walk along the canal and discover the contrast of the city – old and new. If you’re feeling tired stop in at one of the many cafes along the way. - Finish at the city center and catch the train to where you’re staying. **this suggestion in intended to give you a sampling of what the city has to offer. Once you get a sense of each area be sure to go back to the places that really captured your spirit. I promise you won’t be let down!
