Walk to the Palacio del Congreso. Arrive just in time to join a tour or view the exterior as the sun begins to set. The building’s dome is striking against the darkening sky.

Establecimiento General de Café
Head to Establecimiento General de Café, located near the Museo Histórico de la Honorable Cámara de Diputados. This historic spot is perfect for a post-sunset drink as the city lights begin to twinkle.

End your evening at Bar Iberia. As the second oldest bar in Buenos Aires, it offers a deep dive into the city's history with Spanish immigrant heritage. It is a fittingly atmospheric close to the night.
