Although maybe that would mean an unforgettable time right?
Any recommendations for must see sights, must do's and must eats etc on a whirlwind visit? Obviously the steak, red wine, empanadas and some ice cream have to be tried but any specific places, favourites to look out for ?
There’s a separate thread on restaurants in this forum with some pretty good recommendations. As for hotels my suggestion would be Palermo (trendier) or Recoleta (posher yet more boring). Avoid Centro – it’s always been sketchy at night, after Covid it’s become Gotham City.
