Good to know

Is March a good month to visit Buenos Aires?

This trip is set for March, early autumn in the southern hemisphere. Days are mild enough for long walks through Palermo's parks and the open plazas that anchor the itinerary.

How walkable is Buenos Aires for sightseeing?

Very, when the days are district-based as they are here. The first day stays entirely within Palermo, and the other three cluster their museums, plazas and landmarks around one quarter each.

How long do you need at the Rivadavia natural sciences museum?

Two hours, as this itinerary allows. The dinosaur halls and natural history galleries are the substance, and an early arrival leaves the afternoon free for the plazas and the Palace of Running Waters.

Which Buenos Aires sights should be booked ahead?

The Colón Theater tour and the AMALITA Collection both run on timed entry; reserving ahead keeps the packed days moving.

How do the three days fit together?

Each day keeps its stops in one part of the city, so the couple rarely retraced their steps. Day one is museums, day two downtown landmarks, day three the colonial centre around Plaza de Mayo.

Do any of the landmarks need booking?

Colón Theater runs on guided tours, so its starting time decides the morning there. The art museums on this route are visited at your own pace.
