Timeline
08:30
Arrive at the Buenos Aires Botanical Garden as it opens. The dense planting of trees and plants from around the world creates a quiet, green atmosphere that feels far removed from the city. Wander through the 'cat' garden and enjoy the stillness of the early morning.
09:45
Walk six minutes to Lucio for a late lunch. This pizza restaurant is open from 07:00, making it a reliable spot for a relaxed meal in the afternoon. Order a slice or a whole pie and settle in for a few hours.
11:30
Take a twelve-minute walk to the Palermo market area. By mid-afternoon, the stalls come alive with artisan handiwork and freelance clothes designers. Browse the items for sale in this vibrant outdoor market.
Local tip
