    A very pleasant way to spend a few hours, over coffee and pastries.

    The burger I had wasn't great, but this a very touristy venue. Worth a look for your afternoon coffee though.

    Came back later for the evening tango show. If you go make sure you go to the downstairs show (as we were advised). The show is the only reason Cafe Tortoni gets 4 stars. Waiter service was abysmal. The staff seem to make little effort in what is essentially a tourist trap.

    In late afternoon, early evening, our group met up at a café notable, Café Tortoni. This café …

    After our 20 hour bus ride that ended up being 24 hours, we eventually arrived in Buenos Aires for the second time on our trip. After a couple of weeks of wearing warm clothes it was great to be able to put on some shorts again and go out into the sunshine!

    We decided to burn off our built up energy by doing some window shopping with a …

    Driving 12 hours from Cordoba with a 5am start we arrive in Buenos Aires early evening to rush hour traffic on the Avenida De Mayo the main thoroughfare into town. Our hotel is located just a stones throw from this wide street but on a much smaller street leading down to Florida and the tourist centre of the city.
