I spent thirteen days there and only made one daytrip.

Still did not do everything Buenos Aires has to offer and did not have the time to do want I wanted to do there. So I am going back again this year for another two weeks.

As for recommendation to do there, what do you like to do, see and what are your interests?

I am here for 7 nights and eight days...I am exhausted from trying to show a group of college students everything I would like for them to see in Buenos Aires in such a short period of time. No, 5 days and six nights is not too long....take the time before you go to research Buenos Aires and to plan your activities....

We arrived in the morning and did a walking tour of our neighborhood that afternoon...followed by a welcome dinner. The next day we did a full day city tour with stops in numerous locations in the north and the south. The third day we did an arts and architecture tour. The fourth day we looked at the ethnic diversity here by visiting three diverse communities...jewish, islamic and korean....In the evening we took AVROOSTERs REAL Buenos Aires tour to the suberbs....Today is our fifth day and we will attend the Madres de Plaza de Mayo march this afternoon...Tomorrow we will visit a recovered factory in the day time and go to a tango show at night....Couple these activities with night life and restaurants...and trips to the Evita museam and shopping excursions...and, if you get bored, a day trip to Tigre, an estancia or Colonia....and you will go home exhausted and you will have barely scratched the surface of all BA has to offer...

Hi, Doc!!

You forgot to say my tour is free (but you need to qualify for it).

You and your college students certainly qualified.

However, Doc, "suberbs"??

I realize you are exhausted, Doc, but you are a professor, so....LOL!!!

Next trip, we plan to rent an apartment (with a potential buy in mind); stay a month, and never leave the city.
