Everyone who picks up a tourist pamphlet knows the sights that tourists are expected to see. But what about ‘Portenos’? Where does a citizen of Capital Federale go if they want to get away for the day? Here are some destinations frequently visited by Portenos — as citizens of Buenos Aires are known.

Too many travel articles which talk about ‘Best Day Trips’ are hampered with two shortcomings: hyperbole and length-of-visit. A view which is ‘splendid’ to the writer, might be so-so to the tourist. The tower which is ‘iconic’ may just be old and well-worn. What is a ‘day trip’ anyhow? Is it a destination which takes 24-hours literally to travel, see the sights and return? Or is it a stop barely an hour away but could take a full eight-hour day to see it all? With this discussion in mind, here are some day trips favored by locals, it’s up to you which are ‘splendid’ or ‘iconic’.
