Here are the top 5 things to do in Buenos Aires –

1. Bike Tour Sightseeing in Buenos Aires

If you are a biking enthusiast, then Buenos Aires is the best place for you. You can see the historical places and the most iconic places in the city on your two-wheeler. You can start your ride from La Boca and stop at Plaza de Mayo. In between your cycle ride around the city, make sure you make a stop at the historical Café Tortoni where you can either grab a coffee with some Alfajores biscuit or a steak.

2. Roam and Eat at San Telmo Market

San Telmo is another top travel destination in the city. It is of historic importance and has some advantages over other parts of the city. It is also more spirited than other spots.

Here, Feria, a large open-air market, begins from Calle Defensa and is laid on the alleys and the footpaths. You will find articles of art and craft, cheap jewelry, second-hand clothes, and antiques. But what is the best feature of the San Telmo Market? You can eat everywhere in the market as there are a lot of street food vendors roasting meat. El Banco Rojo is famous for burgers, and El Desnivel is known for chorizo sandwiches. There are also musicians and tango dancers performing on the street.

3. Take a Walk on the Streets of La Boca

La Boca is a famous football district. It’s also quite vibrant and colorful. There are some brightly painted homes or casas which date back to the 1950s. La Boca has a lot of migrants. The district is also famous for art. So, you can see a lot of cultural mixture through artistic mediums. The European arrivals, two centuries ago from Genoa, Italy followed by some Asian and Lebanese migration in the previous century, have made all the difference.

The living proof of this is the main road called El Caminito, which is like an open-air museum, and you will find street performers and local artists at work here. You can also hire a guide for a trip around La Boca. So, taking a stroll down this street is one of the nicest things to do in Buenos Aires.
