Destination of the month - Buenos Aires


A vibrant city that captivates visitors with its unique blend of architecture, lively dance, and an urban scene that never sleeps


This massive city sprawls far and wide, offering a mosaic of experiences, from serene natural reserves and charming parks to historic landmarks, renowned dining spots, and architectural marvels. With so much to explore, it's easy to find yourself racing around the city to soak it all in. To make your trip to Buenos Aires memorable, here are the top 10 best places to see and things to do:


1. Casa Rosada - Located in Montserrat, right in front of Plaza de Mayo, Casa Rosada holds a special place in the heart of Buenos Aires. Plaza de Mayo gained international recognition through the silent protests of grandmothers since 1977. Casa Rosada serves as the president's executive office, and on weekends, you can visit it for free by registering in advance on their website. During your tour, you'll have the chance to stand on the famous balcony where Evita and other presidents addressed the nation.


2. Cementerio de la Recoleta - This fascinating cemetery is a labyrinth of narrow paths, adorned with crumbling marble statues and ornate mausoleums showcasing various architectural styles. Wander through the maze-like alleyways to discover stone relief cherubs, stained-glass windows veiled in cobwebs, marble angels, and poignant poetry etched into granite.



3. Recoleta - Known for its French-style mansions, Recoleta is the "Paris of the South." Strolling through this neighbourhood is a unique Buenos Aires experience. Its streets are lined with elegant apartment buildings, exclusive boutiques, and former mansions transformed into high-end hotels and embassies, exuding an air of sophistication and charm.



 4. Puerto Madero - A harmonious blend of historical red brick structures and modern skyscrapers, Puerto Madero presents the perfect fusion of old and new. The dockside restaurants, bars, and nightclubs have made it a go-to spot for exciting evenings. The area becomes even more captivating after dark, with the lights from the docks and skyscrapers creating a mesmerising cityscape.



5. El Caminito La Boca - Dive into the vibrant world of Caminito, where colourful houses come to life like an artist's canvas. Some say the tango was born right here, danced between two men. While having lunch at one of the bars, you can enjoy tango performances. Visiting the houses in La Boca is free. Venture into the galleries, explore the shops, and climb the stairs to witness the way of life from the past.



   6. Evita Museum - Step into the life of Argentina's iconic first lady at the Evita Museum. Discover intriguing facts that shed light on the era and her impact on the country.


   

7. Experience a Tango Show - Buenos Aires, the birthplace of tango, pulsates with its captivating and electrifying energy. Some of the best places to enjoy a tango show include Cafe de Los Angelitos, El Querandi Tango, La Ventana, Tango Porteño, and Gala Tango.



     8.  Palacio De Aguas Corrientes (The Water Palace) - Imagine a water pump station housed in a stunning palace. This station, dating back to 1894, still provides the city with water today. Inside the palace, you can explore the water museum, which delves into the history of water and showcases a unique collection of urinals and toilets. Best of all, admission is free.



     9. Teatro Colón - A building that piques your curiosity is Teatro Colón, located near the Obelisco. Opened in 1908, Teatro Colón is renowned as one of the world's finest opera houses, celebrated for its magnificent acoustics.



 10. Galeria Guemes - Designed by Italian architect Francisco Terencio Gianotti, this building, constructed at the turn of the 20th century, was initially a commercial and shopping gallery. The structure showcases the then-popular art nouveau style and is considered one of the city's earliest skyscrapers, soaring over 80 meters in height. At its 14th floor, you can enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree view of the city.
