Buenos Aires Clásico

Day 1: Arrive in Buenos Aires - Highlights of the city 

Landing at the international airport EZE, located around 35km from the city, your Swoop guide will take you to your centrally located hotel for checking in and a little time to yourself.

The afternoon is left free for you to discover more of the city on your own. Your guide will give you some pointers as you’ll be spoilt for choice. Perhaps visit the stunning Teatro Colon opera house, or one of the world's most spectacular bookshops El Ateneo? Or maybe the unique MALBA art museum? There can be fewer more attractive cities in the world to spend an afternoon at leisure. 

Accommodation: Swoop suggested 4* boutique hotel, Palermo neighbourhood

Day 2: Experiencing the city's highlights  

The afternoon will see you taking a guided excursion in a private vehicle, soaking up the highlights and getting a feel for the most European city in the New World. 

You'll learn about Argentina’s unique and colourful history, with each district laying testament to important factors that have forged its growth. While the exact order of the tour might vary, you’ll stop at the elegant Recoleta district and its famous cemetery, the historical centre where this colonial town was founded and where each monument represents a turning point in its dramatic history.

The vivacious immigrants' barrio of La Boca, will also be on your list, as will the modern district of Puerto Madero. It is here that you will make a stop at a small yet intriguing Antarctic heritage monument, which many Argentines do not even know exists. If the monument is open, you will enter and explore.

Your final night in Buenos Aires will be one to remember, and Swoop has selected three different options for you to choose: 

1. If tango is on your bucket list, take in one of the famous professional shows. Held in a small theatre, low lit and with a live orchestra, this 1.5-hour artistic expression passionately conveys the history and evolution of this unique and scintillating dance. Most shows will finish around midnight, so be warned you’re likely to dance to night away. 

2. If you’d prefer an evening of intimate dining while learning about the typical Argentine asado (BBQ), dine in our selected restaurant, in close proximity to the chef, learning about the magic of the best BBQ in town. Learn through your senses, and experience this fantastic, truly authentic tasting menu with premium wine pairings included.  

3. For a relaxed, hands-on and fun group cooking experience we recommend the 'Argentine Experience'. A mixture of cooking class, restaurant and bar, your lively hosts will introduce you to Argentina’s fabulous food and drink culture, whilst you try your hand at making your very own empanada (typical pastry turnover). Sample dishes from all over Argentina and make new friends during this fabulous small-group experience. 

Whatever your choice tonight, the final act of your time in magical Buenos Aires promises to be a heart-warming experience, tailored to your personal choice leaving you longing for just one last tango. Swoop will provide private a transfer to and from all activities.
