Your journey
Private jet to Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires combines grand architecture with a lively neighbourhood culture. Allow time for a theatre visit, a long restaurant lunch and an evening around the city's tango heritage. Recoleta and Palermo offer contrasting neighbourhoods for walking and dining. Teatro Colón can provide an evening focus, with the city's tango traditions adding another possibility. Leave room for a long lunch or café stop instead of filling every hour with transfers.
