Buenos Aires Encounter

The Buenos Aires Encounter guide gives you twice the city in half the time.

Buenos Aires runs on nostalgia and cosmopolitan ambition. For every group of trendsetters laughing over cocktails, there’s a cluster of old-timers gathered around a radio, a tear rolling down someone’s cheek as Carlos Gardel sings of the glowing street lamps of his beloved city.

This pared-down guide is ideal for quick trips - it's less accommodation, more neighbourhood highlights and the best of local knowledge.
