10 Days in Buenos Aires
🥩 Complete Itinerary & Cost Guide
10 days in Buenos Aires lets you go beyond the highlights — take day trips, revisit favourites, and enjoy slow mornings. Here's a realistic day-by-day plan plus what it costs.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
This plan covers the essentials without burnout. Adjust based on opening hours, weather, and your stamina. Most days are 4–6 hours of activity with long meals and downtime built in.
Settle into your hotel, grab a light lunch, then ease into Buenos Aires with Recoleta Cemetery + Evita's tomb. Don't overbook day one — jet lag is real.
San Telmo Sunday market + tango on the street. Pair it with a sit-down lunch nearby and an evening walk through a different neighbourhood.
Palermo Soho food and wine crawl. Take the morning slow and use the afternoon to explore a quieter district away from the tourist core.
Tigre Delta day trip. Pair with a long lunch — A real parrilla (steakhouse) charges by the gram. Try Don Julio in Palermo — best ribeye in town.
Milonga (real tango hall) at La Catedral. This day usually involves a longer journey so start early.
For trips of 10+ days, take an external day trip (mentioned in the highlights) or revisit Recoleta Cemetery + Evita's at a slower pace.
For trips of 10+ days, take an external day trip (mentioned in the highlights) or revisit San Telmo Sunday market at a slower pace.
For trips of 10+ days, take an external day trip (mentioned in the highlights) or revisit Palermo Soho food and at a slower pace.
Use this day for whatever you didn't get to: a museum, a hammam, a long lazy lunch. The best memories come from unplanned hours.
Hit one final must-see (Milonga (real tango hall) at La Catedral), pick up souvenirs, and leave time for a relaxed lunch before your flight or onward train.
