 Things to do in Buenos AiresBuenos Aires (meaning fair winds in Spanish) has several
enthralling attractions. Most siteseeing is best done by day, for
aesthetic and precautionary purposes, and walking is the best (but
by no means only) mode of transport in this intriguing city. Visit the Cementerio de la Recoleta, home to the tomb of Eva
Perón, the actress married to Argentina''s President Juan Perón and
subject of the musical Evita, or wander under the magnificent
facades of the downtown area, favourable for its marvellous old
European buildings. More enthusiastic sightseers can take a
paddleboat from the promenade in Palermo and stroll through a
prolific flower garden. An absolute must for culture vultures is a trip to the Palermo
Viejo district, with its charming cobblestone streets, bookstores,
bars and boutiques, or an afternoon exploring the Caminito
pedestrian street''s arts and crafts in La Boca. Enjoy watching
tango dancers in the cobblestone streets and take a tour of the La
Bombonera Stadium, experience El Puerto de Buenos Aires during the
day, or for a taste of history, visit the National Immigration
Museum. Visitors wanting to catch a show can do so at the Recoleta
Cultural Center. Built in 1732, it was originally a convent
connected to the BasÃlica del Pilar. Today it is a cultural center
hosting concerts, live performances and screenings. The historical
building also accommodates sculptures, paintings and photographs in
different exhibitions, providing a fantastic sightseeing experience
for any visitor to this exciting city. |
