Generality of Buenos Aires.

I spent a fantastic week in Buenos Aires, has not really been able to do everything, but managed to go very very tired and that's when my program was divine

- first day: obligatory passage of the plaza de mayo

- 2nd day: San Telmo (or lack of museums) and especially the two small and charming museums Belgrano

- 3rd day Part A or lung palermo buenos aires and (Part B ): palermo, its zoo and museums (avoided)

- 4th day: short ride to Montserrat (or monserrat) and visit the Museum of Fine Arts

- 5th day (Part A): or the folly of museums (those in the morning) and (Part B) or the folly of museums (those of Palermo)

- 6th Day (Part A): a day atypical or visiting a different style of museum and (Part B): an atypical day or visiting a cemetery

-7th and final Day (Part A): final round at the Plaza de Mayo and Puerto Madero visit and (Part B): visit Puerto Madero (the ecological reserve and grand avenues)

I am inspired mostly

three sites - the official site

- Buenos Aires tourism (or a lot of cards come from)

- voices nomadic

other links

- metro (there are passes for 10 trips). I admit I avoided the bus system because really too complicated. Already we must pay with exact amount (1pesos 10) and the currency of one peso is endangered, or better, find a bus terminal, there is a gentleman who takes the tickets.

I was really surprised the friendliness and politeness of people in the subway. They know the disadvantages of a train filled and behave with kindness.

good when even a small flaw in this great city: I found no obvious eating in a typical Argentinean restaurant has reasonably priced, at least in the bin areas visited. But when we get to go in, I can tell you that the prices are really great and well-filled dishes. And 4h, the famous Argentine 4h!

They are a passion for pastries and especially the media-luna, and you will find a confiseria at each corner and restaurants turn into tea room, a delight.

ago still has a few recommendations to make: watch out for pickpockets and theft but also to cars. It's simple priority is not the first arrival and of course pass the pedestrian does not count. The ideal is to cross with a local or red light (although lala also be very careful, cars turning still needed)

really I loved this city and get lost.

7th and final day (Part B): visit Puerto Madero (the ecological reserve and grand avenues)

yes we had heard of this reserve which lies just to outskirts of the city of Buenos Aires, so of course she was on the agenda.

(be sure to click on the images)

1 / Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur (semi-official site in French) Well he already has two entrances at each end, and it's free. Anyway we went on a Sunday so it was full of people who were running, which rolled (the inhabitants of BA are athletes) and we were taken over by the time (the plane was taken at night). So say we had not really enjoyed the Trail Miles (you can walk to 3 hours in this reserve)

reserve1 is on it will have to come back (good excuse).
