Known as “The Paris of South America,” Buenos Aires honeymoons take you to a city that combines South American sizzle with European sophistication. From street Tango and empanada shops to nightclubs and some of the world’s best beef, the nightlife and dining are diverse and world-class. But culture buffs will be just as satisfied. Historical tours abound, and with sites like La Recoleta Cemetery — where famous Argentines are buried — is a must-visit that’s perfect for a quick trip. Time your cemetery tour with the bustling Recoleta flea market on Saturday for a special treat, with street performers and booths where locals sell unique crafts, foods, and other artisan goods.
A tango class is a great way to deepen your bond while learning the most romantic dance in the world. If you prefer viewing overdoing, there are endless cafes and restaurants with live performances by professional dancers, but even the street performances — which you’re bound to encounter if you stay long enough — are top-notch. Dress up for a night at the opera at Teatro Colón, or dress down to your swimsuit and take a kayaking day trip on the Tigre River.
The city itself has plenty of huge, picnic-perfect parks and pleasant plazas both small and large. Romance seems to exude from every cobblestone, and when you hear those Tango shoes sliding across the pavement, you know you’re in one of the most sizzling and intimate cities in the world.
In Buenos Aires, there’s truly something for every couple. And to add some icing to the cake, it’s an affordable destination for couples spending US dollars or euros, with a favorable exchange rate for honeymoons that won’t break the bank.
