There is nothing quite like the butterflies you get when you are first falling in love. Those few moments before you see the person who has been occupying your thoughts since you last parted. The light beads of sweat, the summersaults in your stomach, the final check in the mirror to make sure you look your absolute best. Summer in the city is hot and sultry, and Buenos Aires provides a perfect background for romantic dates and steamy nights.

For a morning coffee try the Café Tortoni on Ave de Mayo, its old world charm and traditional setting will set the pace for your romantic outing.

Buenos Aires is crammed with delicious restaurants, but little is more romantic than a picnic in the park.

After lunch rent a small rowboat or paddleboat and drift on the water, soaking up the sun and each other’s company.
