A great way to begin your journey through Buenos Aires is to visit the Plaza de Mayo, the city’s main square and the center of its most historic neighborhood. It’s the perfect palm-lined location for soaking up a warm, sunny day or admiring the beautiful Spanish Colonial architecture, but it’s also one of the best places to learn about the tumultuous political history that has followed the city and nation through dictatorships, scandal and revolution. Political protests are common there, and Casa Rosada, the presidential palace that dominates the skyline views from the square, is one of the most popular attractions in Buenos Aires. It is from its northern balcony that Eva Peron, better known around the world as Evita, delivered her stirring speeches to the captivated populace below. The free Presidential Museum is located on the Casa Rosada grounds, and by making arrangements with the museum staff, you may even get to take a free tour of the palace itself. Consider this scenic central area when searching for hotel deals in Buenos Aires, as some of the city’s finest accommodations surround the square.

Busy outdoor markets, lively street festivals and performances, world-class museums and pristine urban parks will help you fill your days in Buenos Aires, but the excitement really begins long after the sun goes down, when steamy Tango halls fill up with the dance’s most polished performers and the crowds who love to watch them. To make an evening of it, start the night with a memorable dinner at one of Buenos Aires’ many famous steakhouses.
