Buenos Aires Vacation Packages - Best Flight & Hotel Deals

It's jacaranda season in Buenos Aires; jacaranda trees are everywhere. I chased two flocks of pigeons in Place de Mayo. The pigeons' inner monologue: "I just want to eat something, is that so hard?" I met some local students at the church; they were all incredibly enthusiastic and lovely. The "second most beautiful bookstore in the world" was packed with people. I imagined this scene would be a bestseller if made into a jigsaw puzzle. I bumped into "Messi" outside a small shop; that's like me arriving in your city! The steak was really good! Argentine steak is definitely never bad! 💃🏼

Today was a crazy day of exploring Buenos Aires: Plaza de Mayo, the National Congress Building, the Obelisk, the La Boca district, and the Pont de la Mer. The weather was incredibly hot. My travel companion witnessed a pedestrian waiting at a traffic light in front of the Cathedral of Argentina having their gold necklace (probably fake) forcibly snatched and run away. So, everyone, please don't flaunt your wealth in Argentina; there are quite a few homeless people on the streets, and many places had a faint stench (probably from public urination). In the evening, we went to Café Tortoni, a world-famous café (Einstein has been there), and there was a long queue. Finally, for dinner, we went to Parrilla La, a famous Argentine restaurant known for its spoon steaks and football stars. Brigada, a restaurant frequented by many football stars (including Messi), features numerous autographed jerseys and soccer balls. The steaks are incredibly delicious and tender; the servers even use spoons to cut them for you. It's only around 200 RMB per person, allowing you to eat your fill of steak. If you prefer your steak rare or medium-rare, this is the place for you. Those who prefer well-done might not like it. Tomorrow I'm flying to the ends of the earth—Ushuaia—to board a ship for Antarctica.

Escaping Buenos Aires for a day to see Tigre always feels like hitting a reset button. I went with Sturla, taking their boat directly from Puerto Madero up through the river delta — such an easy way to switch from urban towers to quiet channels lined with wooden houses and docks. The ride itself is slow enough to enjoy. The city fades gradually, then it turns into reeds, weekend cottages, kids jumping into the water, and boats delivering groceries like it’s the most normal thing ever. Tigre’s delta is one of those rare places where life is shaped by the river instead of roads. Once in Tigre, there’s plenty to do without rushing. The Puerto de Frutos market, craft stalls, and mate drinkers everywhere give it a very local feel. I walked along the riverside, watched rowing clubs pass by, and just let the slower pace sink in. If you still have energy, places like the MAT (Museo de Arte Tigre) are worth the short stroll — the building alone is stunning. Coming back to Buenos Aires by boat at sunset was the best part — the skyline reappeared in layers, and by the time we reached Puerto Madero, the city looked alive and theatrical again. Tigre isn’t flashy or loud, but that’s its charm: it gives you space to breathe without going far at all. #argentina #buenosaires #tigre #travel2026

One of my favorite city walks in Buenos Aires is the smooth stroll from Recoleta into Palermo. It starts with elegant streets and quiet corners around Recoleta, where old buildings mix with museums, plazas, and shaded sidewalks. After a few blocks, the scene slowly shifts — more trees, wider avenues, and that relaxed Buenos Aires energy. The best part is when you reach the green belt around Plaza Francia, Facultad de Derecho, and Parque Thays. Locals sit on the grass drinking mate, students hang out under the trees, and small art fairs pop up on weekends. Keep going and the city opens into big parks: Plaza Holanda, Jardín Japonés, and the Palermo lakes. It’s calm, leafy, and perfect for a slow afternoon. You can end the walk in Palermo Soho or Palermo Hollywood — both full of cafés, bakeries, bookshops, and small boutiques. After the greenery, the switch to lively streets feels natural. It’s a route that shows how Buenos Aires blends elegance, everyday life, and creativity — all within one long, pleasant walk. #argentina #travel2026 #buenosaires #

Walking into Recoleta Cemetery feels less like entering a burial site and more like stepping into a miniature city. Narrow alleys twist between ornate mausoleums, marble statues, gothic angels, and intricate family vaults. It’s quiet, it’s atmospheric, and it holds a huge part of Argentina’s cultural memory. What makes it fascinating isn’t just who rests there (presidents, writers, military figures, and iconic personalities like Eva Perón), but how the place reflects a whole era of architecture and aristocratic taste. You’ll spot everything from art nouveau to neoclassical and even touches of modern design. The details are stunning — stained glass, ironwork, mosaics, and symbolic sculpture everywhere you look. Give yourself time to stroll, get lost, and take in the small stories carved into stone. Recoleta Cemetery isn’t gloomy at all — it’s poetic, historic, and surprisingly beautiful.
