Buenos Aires is often known as the Paris of South America, not only for its French-style architecture, but also for the romantic vibe the city has to offer. From roof terraces to coastal promenades, Buenos Aires has everything to offer lovers young and old. We round up the best places to take a date in the Argentine capital.

A nighttime tour of the Palacio Barolo is a romantic activity for lovers of architecture, and a good story. Based on Dante’s Divine Comedy, a guided tour brings groups through the lower floors of the office building up to the dome at the top, where you get spectacular views across Plaza Congreso towards the congress building.

3. Puerto Madero

Who wouldn’t be wooed by the gleaming skyscrapers and the culinary delights of Buenos Aires’ most prestigious neighbourhood, Puerto Madero? This regenerated port is perfect for an evening stroll while the sun is going down, before stopping into one of the area’s luxury hotels for a glass of champagne. Check out the famous Puente de la Mujer, designed by world renowned architect Santiago Calatrava.

San Telmo, Buenos Aires

Walk around the cobbled streets of San Telmo and let yourself be transported back to another time. This is the oldest neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, and still has that old world charm. Go for lunch in Cafe Rivas, or for dinner in El Refuerzo, and check out the antiques market. Doppleganger is great for a romantic cocktail, or head to Napoles for a shock of extravagance.

4. Chacarita Cemetery

It may not sound like the most romantic place, but just think of Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris and all the lovers that have passed through there, and you might get an idea of the appeal of Chacarita Cemetery. While Recoleta might be the city’s more famous cemetery, Chacarita is definitely more romantic – it is quieter, and is also the final resting place of Argentina’s bohemian set, including the king of romantic music, tango singer Carlos Gardel.

Tigre

A day out in the idyllic waterways of Tigre in the Parana delta is a surefire way to win the heart of your lover. Take a boat trip around the murky waters of the river delta, and stop for lunch on one of the islands, where you can take in the beautiful, rustic scenery of this charming marshland.

5. Rosedal Palermo
