"Meaning “Pink House” in English, Casa Rosada is the famous presidential palace that forms part of any downtown walking tour. This iconic building became cemented in national history when Juan Perón, accompanied by his wife Eva, addressed a crowd who had rallied in their hundreds of thousands to demand his release. However, a lesser known part of its history is why the house was painted pink in the first place. One theory is that two important political parties with the colors white and red were united there in the 19th century, while another suggests that the building was originally painted in cow’s blood which was common back in the day as an effective insulator against heat and humidity."

"Nestled in the heart of the Plaza de Mayo, the Casa Rosada, or Pink House, stands as the official presidential office. This renowned square, steeped in history and named after the Argentine Revolution of May 1810, has been a witness to pivotal events. Take a leisurely walk through the plaza, where historic buildings stand as living testimonials to the nation's rich past. For a more in-depth experience, a guided tour of the Casa Rosada can be booked in advance, immersing yourself in the political history of Argentina."
"The Casa Rosada (The Pink House) is the White House of Argentina. The only difference is that the president doesn't actually live here. It functions more as a giant office to those in government. It is also the sight of the famous scene where Evita greets the crowd from the balcony. There are no longer free tours to the Casa Rosada since the pandemic. The museum just behind the Casa Rosada is open on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 10am- 5:30pm. However, they close if a manifestation/protest is expected. "

I have been living in Argentina for the past year (plus 5 months in Buenos Aires back in 2005). This is one of my favorite cities in the entire world, and I want to share with you what makes it so great. This 10 day itinerary begins on a Friday morning, and is arranged according to market schedules, or other events in the city that fall on particular days. But you can certainly do the activities out of order, and fit them to your schedule as needed. I have planned this 10-day itinerary to allow you to maximize your days, and hours in this amazing city, but still allow you to enjoy the small moments without feeling overwhelmed, and get rest when needed. I have spent around 100 hours researching, writing descriptions to give detailed information of every place mentioned in this itinerary, visiting and testing out each day; they are all genuine recommendations. I have carefully planned out and timed each activity, including transportation and time moving between sites. I have also linked related articles and videos from my blog and YouTube channel. This itinerary will provide you not only with daily activities, but information on how to get the best exchange rate, how to stay safe, and information for transportation- how to get from spot to spot, so you can put as little time into planning as possible. Let me do that for you! :) This is not the ideal itinerary for those seeking the nightlife and parties. It is full of morning, daytime, and evening activities (with a few optional activities that go into the night) to help you get to know the culture of Buenos Aires and Argentina. It does not include nightclubs. This is a great itinerary if you are coming to Buenos Aires for the first time and you want to see all the important places, along with a few extra gems. This can also serve if you live in the city but have friends and family coming to visit. I've got it all planned out for you! I have included a lot of walking in this itinerary, though I have attempted to concentrate each day in one particular area of the city whenever possible. However, the city is full of transportation options if you prefer less steps due to accessability issues, or fatigue. I strongly suggest reading through the entire itinerary at the beginning of the week in case there are places where you need to make a reservation. If so, it will be listed at the top of each day.

A collection of popular and lesser-known places in Buenos Aires to explore, eat, drink, photograph, co-work, find community, and so much more! 🇦🇷 Nearly all of these I have been to myself, the remaining others I have been recommended repeatedly, but haven’t yet had the chance to visit. Even so, I've included everything here so you won't miss out! Inside, you’ll find 150+ unique recommendations sorted and subcategorized among the following sections: Sightseeing, Museums & Art Galleries, Outdoor Spaces, Day Trips, Cafés & Bakeries, Restaurants & Food, Nightlife, LGBTQ+, Shopping, Street Photography, and Bonus (rotating events & more!) As a bilingual, queer, and solo female traveler having spent 6+ months in Buenos Aires, this list is my treasured resource to daily life and tourism in the city with an emphasis on cultural immersion. I’ve included a wide array of free activities, affordable options, and a few handpicked higher-end experiences for passerby travelers and nomads alike. Buenos Aires is massive and has lots to offer, but is also home to hidden beauty and unique gems waiting to be discovered. I recommend you explore at your own pace, strolling the beautiful neighborhoods and leaving room for serendipity while sorting through the places in this guide that resonate with you the most!
