Buenos Aires is one of the largest metropolises of the world. In spite of the fact that it is located in South America it seems like a European Capital. Its size impresses tourists, so do not think about visiting all the attractions in one or two days. Four days seems ideal.

What can you visit in four days. Below is a list of suggestions.

The fair in San Telmo: San Telmo is the oldest neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is a well-preserved area and is characterized by its colonial buildings. Cafes, tango salons and old-fashioned stores line the cobblestone streets, which are often full of artists and dancers. It is also the home to the antique fair and the atmosphere that make it worth visiting still on Sundays you might consider it being a tourist trap due to the big crowds. If you want to avoid the immense amount of  people then pick a weekday.

The next sight on the list is Recoleta Cemetery which must be one of the greatest cemeteries of the world. The cemetery is everlastingly contrasted with the Pére Lachaise of Paris. It has 4700 crypts distributed in a map of squares and wide inner streets, setting up an area of 50.000 square meters. The Recoleta cemetery is an example of great and different architectural styles where a lot of notable people of the Argentinean history are buried there, between unique statues, streets and works of art that seem to struggle between them for unique marvel and ravisher. The burial chamber of Eva Peron is the most visited place of the Recoleta Cemetery.

Without tango no visit is full and the right place for such an experience is at the Ideal which is one of the old-fashioned places with tango dancing. The place is full of a mostly senior crowd in the afternoon . Here are some keywords to the place: live orchestras, dancers,  coffee shop , declared historical heritage.

Another cultural stop not to be missed is the Teatro Colón, the great opera house of Buenos Aires with its 2500 seats . Performances are relatively inexpensive but if you’re not fond of opera or classical music then, at least, take a tour which will show you not only the beautiful auditorium but take you behind the stage .   

For those not fond of culture or architecture but are fond of sportspeculiarly soccer, Boca Stadium is the next stop. The Boca Stadium was built in the 1940s. With its horseshoe structure, three levels and steep angle of incline, it seats up to 60,000 spectators . Join the blue and yellow sea of fans chanting passionately in the Boca Stadium at matches played at home of Club Boca Juniors, famous for its skill and ex-player and probably the most famous Argentinean Diego Maradona. The nearby Museum of Boca Passion offers daily stadium tours.
Argentine people are among those people who drink most coffee  in Latin America. To feel like a local you must have coffee in one of the notable Buenos Aires café . Café Tortoni is the oldest and most beautiful of the coffee shops in the city. It was founded in 1858. With its very rich heritage , it is visited all the time by intellectuals, politicians and artists. Going into the Tortoni to sip from a cup of coffee, to meet someone there, to attend any of the innumerable cultural functions offered there, is getting into the very kernel of tradition.

After a refreshing coffee walk along calle Florida. It is the city’s most famous street and an important commercial area where there are leather clothing, shoes, record stores and numerous newsstands as well as restaurants and cafes light the street day and night . There can be a lot of street artists entertaining visitors with their tango dancing.

These are just some of the notable sights to visit and activities to do. It is hard to list of them. So go and check out the city, but book in Buenos Aires accommodation well in advance.
