DIY your trip to Uruguay with guides
and itineraries by local experts

After immersing myself in this port city on the Río de la Plata, affectionately known as "BA" by locals, I crafted this guide for a friend with food, culture, and outdoor enthusiasts in mind. Buenos Aires is a very walkable, though sprawling, European-feeling South American city made up of many distinct neighborhoods. Among them: trendy Palermo, Parisian-like Recoleta, Spanish Plaza de Mayo, bohemian San Telmo, vibrant Boca recalls Southern Italy. Italian, Spanish, and French heritage is tasted in its love for pizza, cheese, bread, meat, wine, and coffee. The guide includes both affordable and world-class restaurants and hotels, but mostly, find luxury in slow travel where you truly get to know the culture. Virtual explorers and trip planners alike, explore Buenos Aires with this interactive guide. Check out what to SEE + DO, where to EAT + DRINK, places to STAY + REST, and ways to COME + GO around Argentina's largest city. In addition to cultural immersion, this comprehensive guide provides: 1. Interactive map 2. Portable, mobile-first format 3. "Remixable" make-your-own itinerary 4. "Living" guide that receives updates This guide is intended for you to make your own. Explore at your own pace within your available timeframe. Visit all of the sites or just those that call to you. Skip around or simply glance on the way to your next meal. As a travel expert and creative, I built AMG Inspired to design quality architecture and support sustainable tourism, defined as “tourism that respects both local people and the traveler, cultural heritage and the environment.” Be sure to tag @amginspired in your photos.
