Lined with renovated old brick warehouses, Puerto Madero is replete with fancy
lofts and apartment towers, plus some of the city's most expensive (and some say
overpriced) restaurants. It's a very scenic and pleasantly vehicle-free place to stroll
the cobbled paths along the dikes. Art lovers shouldn't miss
Colección de Arte Amalia
Lacroze de Fortabat
, highlighting the collection of Argentina's wealthiest woman. For a
shot of nature, visit
Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur
, a land-filled wetlands.
Dinner
Casual and excellent Peruvian can be had at Chan Chan (

Take in an opera, ballet or classical-music show at
Teatro Colón
, Buenos Aires'
premier theater. The traditional entertainment district of
Av Corrientes
still hops
these days, showcasing many films, art events and plays.
