If you’re visiting Buenos Aires, Argentina from overseas, the chances are that you’ll arrive at either the Ministro Pistarini International Airport (also known as Ezeiza Airport) or the Quinquela Martin cruise terminal. Buenos Aires also has two internal airports, another two ferry ports, and a major coach terminal. Buenos Aires is mainly known as being a place to eat, drink and be merry.
It has a great music scene and, of course, is home to the world-famous tango. It is, however, definitely worth taking the time to explore the city itself. Stunning, historical palaces rub shoulders with modern buildings decorated with outstanding street art.
You cannot miss the Cementerio de la Recoleta, the last resting place of many of Buenos Aires’ most famous residents including Eva Peron (Evita). If you’re interested in the city’s history then a visit to the Plaza de Mayo is also a must. When you want a little time to relax, drop off for a coffee at El Ateneo Grand Splendid.
Alternatively, take a quiet stroll in the peaceful Parque Lezama. While you’re there stop off to see the eye-catching Russian Orthodox Church. For a complete change of scenery try visiting San Antonio de Areco.
Even though it’s only 110 Km from Buenos Aires, it feels like a totally different world. Having your own transport definitely allows you to make the most of your visit to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Bicycles can be good for exploring the parks slowly.
Hiring a motorbike, scooter, or quad bike is, however, a much better option for being able to explore the city fully.
