Exploring Buenos Aires

If you have 3 days plan to spend half a day around Plaza de Mayo, El Centro, San Telmo, La Boca, Palermo, and La Recoleta. If you are in town on a weekend, visit La Recoleta on Saturday and San Telmo and La Boca on Sunday in order to visit the neighborhoods' outdoor arts-and-crafts markets. If you are in town on weekdays, stick to Palermo on Monday or Tuesday; its outdoor offerings will be open, whereas most museums are closed one of those two days. Schedule time for a siesta to allow you a lengthy night out at a club, bar, or performance, or an evening of tango.
