Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is a large, flat city of distinct barrios: the ornate centre, the cafés and bookshops of Recoleta, the street art of Palermo and the docks of La Boca. Dinner starts late and tango happens in both tourist halls and neighbourhood milongas. Four days is comfortable for the main barrios and a day across the river.
