The century-old theater is an architectural gem with a horseshoe-shaped main hall that adheres to the strictest standards of Italian and French theater. Landscape architect Carlos Hays designed this gem of a garden, opened in Get your jazz, blues, funk and soul fix at this spare music space under a restaurant and wine bar.
Just two blocks from Plaza de Mayo in the historic city center, the club serves a first-rate selection of cocktails and nibbles, not to mention some colorful programming.
Considered by many to be one of the best art museums on the continent, the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires Malba is not to be missed. By Jill Krasny July 23, Save Pin More.
Its restaurant and art scene is vibrant as ever, with new venues opening nearly each day. And its historic cafes are always alluring — and ideal for some prime people-watching — while its speakeasy scene remains impossibly cool. Buenos Aires is a dynamic place whose sophistication and fashionable locals echo Western capitals like Milan, and where reinvention is as valued as the past.
Rollercoaster politics aside, Buenos Aires is proud of its literary heritage — heroes new and old like Silvina Ocampo, Jose Luis Borges and Samanta Schewblin — and it shows in its lively bookstores and historical landmarks. The city also it loves its steak — how can it not when you pair it with Malbec — which almost always guarantees a great meal.
Start Slideshow. Steak, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The city also has a free hour public bike share system and an extensive network of cycle lanes, making cycling a fun way to see the city, while the many pedestrianised streets in the centre mean that walking is also a pleasure.
Long seen as Latin America's capital of culture, Buenos Aires has almost theatres, bookstores and museums, and some of them will take your breath away. Buenos Aires leads the way in Latin American fashion and design, and is a fantastic city when it comes to shopping for unique gifts or new styles from independent designers. With everything from modern malls stocking local and international brands to historic markets and fairs, the city has something for every taste, but perhaps the biggest stars are the top-quality locally produced leather goods and the incredible antiques and native handicrafts you can pick up at the city's markets and fairs.
Buenos Aires is the place to connect with the life and work of Pope Francis, who was born and raised in the city. You can visit his childhood home and the schools he attended in the neighbourhood of Flores, the prison where he worked in Villa Soldati, and the Metropolitan Cathedral, where for 20 years he led mass as the Archbishop of Buenos Aires.
There's a free Pope Francis bus tour that visits many of his old haunts. Buenos Aires is also home to Tierra Santa - the world's first religious theme park! Perhaps the biggest attraction of Buenos Aires is the city's people.
Due to unrestricted immigration starting in the 19th century, Buenos Aires is home to an insane amount of cultures. All these cultures come together to produce a complex melting pot, and iconic parts of Argentinian culture, such as tango , were born.
Coming from the frigid Northeast of America where punctuality is key, Buenos Aires was such a welcome change! Walking around the streets, I would regularly see entire families with infant children still roaming around at midnight, and the streets were lively all the way until 2 AM. As our guide said, if someone tells you to meet at a time in Buenos Aires, expect them to be late.
As a night owl myself who is rarely punctual, I loved this schedule! The only problem was that the huge break between lunch and dinner meant that I often got hungry.
Luckily they have a solution for this too! A mid-afternoon snack called merienda helps you satisfy your hunger without eating too much. Locals will often eat some medialunas croissants or other such pastries during this time, kind of like a British afternoon tea. Therefore, it makes sense that their nightlife ought to respond to their nocturnal schedules. Nightlife in Buenos Aires is absolutely legendary!
Here are some of my faves! Argentina is such a vast, varied country, full of places to explore! The cemeteries are like sculpture gardens. Stroll past ornate mausoleums at Recoleta Cemetery, where Evita and other famous Argentines are laid to rest.
You can cross the world's widest avenue. Avenida 9 de Julio has seven lanes in each direction. The steak really is the best in the world. Order a bife de chorizo New York strip , or a parrillada mixta mixed grill with various cuts of beef and offal if you're feeling adventurous.
The President's office, nicknamed the Casa Rosada, is bright pink — and it's beautiful. The ice cream is even creamier and more delicious than Italian gelato. Try the dulce de leche at Un' Altra Volta - you won't regret it.
