Tag 33 - Buenos Aires

Diterbitkan: 20.05.2024

As the Argentinian capital, the city is the economic and political center of the country. Around 13.5 million people live in many different neighborhoods in the city's large catchment area. Our apartment was in the Palermo district, which has many restaurants, bars and shops and is considered very safe even after dark. To find out more about Buenos Aires, we booked a free walking tour in the center. We reached the starting point at the huge parliament building after a good 35 minutes by bus. Although there is also a well-developed subway network, the buses seemed to run every minute and were super cheap at the equivalent of 40 cents per person per trip.

As we passed various historical buildings and squares, the guide told us a lot about the exciting history of Argentina and Buenos Aires. Unfortunately, the temperatures (16 degrees) and the wind were uncomfortable, which is why our concentration dropped a little after a good three hours and we warmed up a bit in the sun at Plaza de Mayo in front of the pink palace (seat of the president). Nevertheless, the tour was again super interesting! We then continued on to the "San Telmo" district, which we really liked with its lots of street art and a cool market. As our stomachs were rumbling again and the waiters were carrying delicious food past us, we found a good place in a steakhouse. Of course, you have to do that in Argentina and we decided on a steak and chorizo sandwich. It tasted incredibly good and was extremely filling. We walked back along "Avenida 9 de Julio", the widest street in the world with over 16 lanes and past the 68m high obelisk - one of the city's most famous landmarks.

In the evening we had homemade burgers in the apartment.
