A morning in Buenos Aires begins at Plaza de Mayo, where the Casa Rosada’s pale façade meets the square’s steady crowds. You move from the cobblestones of downtown into San Telmo’s colonial corners, tasting dulce de leche and watching tango dancers claim a sunlit street. The Río de la Plata reminds you the city grew from an estuary’s edge — the river pushing and reshaping docks that became Puerto Madero’s glass towers.
