Buenos Aires is the most European city outside Europe — Belle Époque boulevards, endless café life, and a nightlife that treats midnight as the start of the evening.
Where to stay
Palermo Soho or Hollywood for restaurants, boutiques and nightlife. Recoleta for grand and quiet. San Telmo for old-town character (and the Sunday antiques market).
How to get there
Direct from London Heathrow to Buenos Aires (EZE) in 13–14h on British Airways. Blue-dollar exchange rates make in-country prices swing wildly — check before you go.
Don't miss
A milonga at La Catedral. Steak and Malbec at Don Julio (book weeks ahead). A Sunday afternoon wandering Feria de San Telmo.
Highlights
- San Telmo Sunday market
