Day 2 Design Your Day Buenos AiresA chance to see what makes this sophisticated metropolis tick. Choose two of the following four half day activities: Start the day in traditional Porteno style with coffee and a pastry at Tortoni, one of the city’s true icons then a short ride on ‘el Subte’ (the subway) to the Plaza de Mayo, the city’s historical and political heart. Wander past the Casa Rosada (Presidential Palace), the city hall and the cathedral and on further to the narrow cobbled streets of bohemian San Telmo. Or tour the city’s finest galleries and museums including MALBA and Isaac Fernando Blanco Museum of Spanish-American Art. Or comb the city’s boutique and specialty stores with your own personal shopper. Or join world famous tango dancers in their grand residence for a lesson in the seductive art.
