How many days do you need in Buenos Aires?
6 days is the right length for a first trip to Buenos Aires. That fits San Telmo and La Boca, Recoleta and Palermo, a tango show and long dinners that start after nine. With fewer days you see the highlights at a brisk pace; with more, add a day trip to Tigre or Colonia del Sacramento.
