CULTURE1 / 5
Argentina’s culture and traditions are a unique blend of Latin American indigenous traditions and European customs. While Spain gained an early foothold in the country, Italian immigration in the 19th century added a Mediterranean flair to the culture, especially the cuisine. Worldwide, Argentina is probably the most famous for the invention of the tango. The dance, originating in Buenos Aires in the 19th century, blends European, Caribbean, and African influences. The city also has a plethora of museums, including the Museum of Latin American Art, and the Museo Nacional De Bellas Artes, to name a few.

WHAT TO SEE AND DO1 / 5
Dance Tango Buenos Aires is one of the birthplaces of tango, an incredibly complex dance, and learning how to tango – or at least seeing a tango dance show – is one of the unmissable things to do in Buenos Aires. There are many milongas in Buenos Aires – places where tango is danced. Café Tortoni for example, which first opened in 1858 is one of the places where famous tango dancer Carlos Gardel used to perform. Other can’t-miss places to go for a tango show are Rojo Tango, La Viruta, Café Angelito, Salón Canning, and La Glorieta, an open-air milonga in Belgrano. Keep your eyes out for smaller milongas scattered around town and, for something even more spontaneous, just head to Plaza Dorrego, in San Telmo, on a Sunday, where dancers will pop up to entertain passersby.
WHAT TO SEE AND DO2 / 5
See a show at Teatro Colón For a different night out, attend an opera show at Teatro Colón, considered to be one of the best opera houses in the world by National Geographic. The theater first opened in 1857, but the current building replaced the original one in 1905 and was first opened in 1908. Opera singers such as Luciano Pavarotti, Maria Callas, and Caruso all performed there!
WHAT TO SEE AND DO3 / 5
Shop at the Feria in San Telmo Cobblestone streets, a faded grandeur, and a large street market put San Telmo on tourists’ maps. Tourists find San Telmo romantic and the most ‘Porteño’ of Buenos Aires. The barrio is gentrifying and has narrow streets, so it’s not as dangerous as in the past, but be careful at night. A favorite with tourists, San Telmo, has charming locations and is great for antique hunting. Each Sunday shoppers linger around a giant open-air market as tango strut moves around the street.
