Things to do in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is less of a city and more of a beautifully complicated character — part faded debutante, part revolutionary and part poet nursing a cigarette in the back of a bookstore. It doesn’t try to win you over; it challenges you to keep up. And with so much to see and do in the City of Fair Winds, you’ll love every minute of the chase.

01 / 04
  • A pile of baked empanadas on a wooden board with one cut open to show seasoned meat inside.

    Enjoy local cuisine with juicy steaks, Malbec that glows and empanadas so good they deserve their own fan club.

  • Wide plaza with green lawns surrounded by historic buildings including the pink Casa Rosada.

    Explore historical landmarks like Plaza de Mayo and Casa Rosada, where Argentina’s dramatic politics once took center stage.

  • Boats speeding along a wide brown river bordered by dense green trees and small docks.

    Immerse yourself in natural beauty by gliding down the Tigre Delta or absorbing the light and graffiti of La Boca’s colorful waterfront.

  • Ornate opera house interior with golden balconies, a large stage and rows of red seats.

    Discover local arts/culture in San Telmo’s antique‑laden lanes, the Colon Theatre’s gilded grandeur or in the quiet of Recoleta Cemetery among monumental mausoleums.

    Best of Buenos Aires: La Boca & Recoleta Cemetery

    What city includes a cemetery in its ‘best of’ list? Buenos Aires does, and you’re going to see why. But first you’ll start by rolling through the city’s core — El Centro, the Bohemian San Telmo district, the Colon Theatre and the sprawling green of Palermo. Then you head into La Boca. After lunch, you’ll visit Plaza de Mayo with its Casa Rosada (yes, the famous Pink House). Finally, wander Recoleta Cemetery, which feels more like a mini‑village of ornate graves (including the black marble crypt of Evita Perón).

  • A couple performing a dramatic tango pose on a dimly lit stage with swirling fringe on the woman’s dress.

    Tango Show & City Drive

    This one pairs dance with discovery in the best possible way. Drive through the neighborhoods, soak in the old and the new, stop at the Metropolitan Cathedral, stroll Plaza de Mayo and feel the heartbeat of the city. Then dive into La Boca, watch the tango in action and wrap it with lunch and an unforgettable performance. You’ll leave with a satisfied stomach, a rhythm in your step and a newfound appreciation for just how intense two people can look while barely moving.

  • Wide view of Iguazú Falls with multiple waterfalls pouring over lush green cliffs into a misty basin.

    Ultimate Buenos Aires: Iguazú Falls Discovery

    Switch gears and fly from port to the thundering cascade of Iguazú Falls in a full‑day epic. See 275+ separate falls spanning more than 1.6 miles wide, ride the eco‑jungle train, stare into the Devil’s Throat and conclude the day drained, awed and ready for dessert. Between the rainforest mist and the roar of the water, it's like nature turned the volume all the way up.

  • Close-up of grilled steaks on a wooden platter topped with chimichurri and surrounded by rustic dishes.

    Home‑Hosted Dinner Tour

    You didn’t come all this way to eat at some Americanized burger joint, did you? Skip the generic restaurant. Arrive at a local home, sit at a table among locals, talk, taste yerba mate, savour homemade dishes and maybe make some new friends for life. It’s intimate, warm and worlds away from the tourist menu. No frills, no filter — just food, conversation and a window into what daily life in Argentina actually tastes like.

  • Two wooden passenger boats move along a riverside lined with trees, cars and low-rise buildings.

    Tigre Delta & River Cruise

    Take a half-day break from the city and glide through the Tigre Delta’s thousand-island maze, where the Paraná River splits into quieter arms lined with freestanding row houses and Italianate villas. The breeze stays light, the birds stay loud and life moves at river speed. With expert narration and the occasional wave from locals on their docks, this is Argentina in soft focus — all color, calm and curiosity.

  • Close-up of a wooden mate gourd filled with yerba and a metal straw on a rustic table.

    From Mate to Malbec

    Roll up your sleeves and dive into the food culture: make mate, prep empanadas, taste provoleta and chorizo, sip Malbec and enjoy dessert. Hands‑on, delicious and oddly educational, this experience will send you on your way with a deeper understanding of Argentina’s culinary soul — and possibly a strong opinion about how mate should be brewed.

Explore itineraries with cruises to Buenos Aires

When your ship docks at the port of Buenos Aires, you get prime access to the city. The port facility puts you close to the waterfront and downtown, letting you hit the Puerto Madero waterfront or stroll toward Plaza San Martín within minutes of stepping off the gangway. Port logistics are solid; you’re about 2 miles from the city centre and well connected. This is one of those ports where you can pack a week’s worth of stories into a single day — especially on a South America cruise with Princess.
