Things To Do

Buenos Aires is a truly cosmopolitan destination, with a mix of architectural styles – from grandiose 19th-century Parisian knockoffs to 21-century minimalist spaces; over 100 fascinating museums showcasing the expected and the unusual; and loads of culture, from top-drawer symphonies and classical performances to avant-garde productions. And let's not forget the most famous Buenos Aires invention of all – the tango!
