12 Enlivening Things to Do in Buenos Aires
Take a Selfie on the Puente de la Mujer
The centerpiece to the Puerto Maduro area and one of Buenos Aires most striking pieces of modern architecture, the “women’s bridge” is a pedestrian bridge that rotates to allow water traffic to pass below.
The bold design of the bridge is supposed to represent a couple dancing tango, and while it looks more like a giant harp, it’s still a stunning sight. The bridge makes for a pleasant stroll both during the day and under the glittering night lights.
Shop in Belgrano
One of Buenos Aires’ most traditional barrios, Belgrano is a well-heeled, leafy area that feels more like a small town than a neighborhood in the city. While not your typical tourist haunt, it is a great area for strolling, shopping and getting a feel for residential Buenos Aires.
Avenida Cabildo is the main artery of the neighborhood, and features numerous cafes, theaters, boutiques and specialty shops, making it a popular weekend hangout for Porteños.
Think carefully when choosing your next vacation spot and make sure to take proper precautions! These are the most dangerous vacation spots to visit.
Tango, Tango, Tango
Buenos Aires is synonymous with tango. Glamorous, steamy and sensual, tango is seduction in the form of dance.
Whether it is gaping at street performers flashing their moves, slipping into smoky milongas (dance events) to see how the locals do it, or trying your own hand (and feet) at the dance in classes, tango will find a way to make you love it. Be warned, it won’t be long before you see why Buenos Aires is the perfect place for travel romance.
If you want to go for a truly elegant and professional tango show, check out Café Tortini or Café de los Angelitos.
