10 Things to do in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is a huge city that is loved for its beauty and culture. Many tourists from all over the world travel to the Argentinean capitol to dance the tango, watch an exciting football match or admire one of the amazing sights. There is so much to do in this Latin American city that we decided to make a list of 10 things that are a must for travellers. Enjoy this vibrant city and let the exotic spheres carry you away.

The San Telmo Market

The famous antique market in San Telmo takes place every day of the week, although on Sundays the market really comes alive. Both tourists and locals stroll between the different stands to see if they can score something valuable.
With all the ancient crafts and potteries, walking searching between the different market stands is like opening a window into Argentina’s past. Besides the antique, also Musicians and artists set up all along the market, from full scale Tango orchestras to solitary singers and everything in between.

Boutiques in Palermo Viejo

At the Palermo Viejo the latest fashion of both internationally as Argentinean designers can be found. There are lots of different designer stores with cloths differing from cocktail dresses to t-shirts. Most of the designer cloths here are exclusive and contain experimental and creative prints. Go for example to Balthazar and search between the finest cloths made from Italian fabrics.

El Teatro Colón
This beautiful theatre is considered one of the best opera houses in the world. The Teatro Colón, that counts 2,487 seats, is the main opera house of Argentina and is praised by critics for the acoustics. After several years of renovation, the opera house was again opened in May. The building itself is so beautiful that you can watch it for hours.

Cementerio de la Recoleta

La Recoleta Cemetery is the most famous cemetery of Argentina. Located in the Recoleta neighbourhood in Buenos Aires, it contains the graves of some of the most important Argentines. The Recoleta neighbourhood is an exclusive area, which results in many impressive and beautiful graves. This huge cemetery is overwhelming in beauty and worth visiting.

Religious theme park Tierra Santo

Every half hour a 20-metre tall plastic Jesus rises from the ground at the wonderfully surreal Tierra Santa, the world’s first religious theme park. Surroundings, statues and lights show different stories from the bible. Also shows are being performed here. Absolutely a unique experience to see religion expressed in an exceptional way.

Football in La Boca

The neighbourhood La Boca is often automatically associated with football. Everywhere in the neighbourhood people are performing the sport, but the real magic happens in the stadium. When visiting Buenos Aires, you have to pay a visit to the Boca Juniors stadium. The team is fanatically supported by the locals which is easily noticeable when walking trough La Boca. Instead of watching the game in the Boca Junior stadium, you can also enjoy it in a local bar. Mix up with the locals and support your new favourite football team.

San Telmo tango classes

Feel like dancing? San Telmo is the place to be. Lots of tango performances are being given on the streets here. San Telmo is also perfect for following tango classes. Teachers with great skills can teach you the ins and outs of this magnificent dance. San Telmo is well known for the good quality of the lessons. Just walk in one of the many tango schools and join a couple of classes. Afterwards go to one of the tango clubs to enjoy a nice drink and dance the night away with your new dancing skills.

Caminito in La Boca Caminito is a street in La Boca that is well known for the pastel houses. This colourful street is of great cultural and tourist value. The street is well known for the tango since the Tango Caminito was born here. Its shape follows the course of an old railroad, which later was abandoned.

Museo de Arte Latin Americano

This museum was opened in 2001 to promote Latin American paintings, sculptures and films. The exhibitions differ and contain over 78 different artists from countries such as Brazil, Costa Rica, Cuba and Argentina. Besides the changing exhibitions, a part of the museum is reserved for a permanent exhibition. Here works and sculptures from great Latin American artists are being showed. The museum also organises numerous cultural activities to promote the Latin American art.

El Obelisco

This gigantic Obelisk was erected in 1936 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the first founding of the city. While its total height is 67meters (220ft), the build only took 4 weeks. The Obelisk has suffered a lot of vandalism. Activists sprayed it many times with political lines. After a while the government decided to put a large fence around it, which turned out to be effective. El Obelisco is located on the Avenida Nueve de Julio, one of the widest avenues in the world.
