Buenos Aires is home of most of Argentina's landmarks. The architectural elegance can be compared to that of Paris, but the city is unique in its beauty. Buenos Aires is widely known for its numerous museums, and art enthusiasts will find a multitude of different museums, galleries, theaters, and architectural monuments in this city. Among the main attractions of the city are the old neighborhood of La Boca, the historical zone of San Telmo, where you can find a large number of large and small bars, restaurants, and a genuine antique market at Plaza Dorrego. The heart of Buenos Aires is the central square, Plaza de Mayo, the largest shopping center in the world. Other major city attractions include the "Pink House" (the Casa Rosada presidential palace), associated with the name of Eva Perón, and numerous other monumental landmarks. Among them is the city's symbol, a 67-meter obelisk erected to celebrate the declaration of Argentine independence, standing on the world's widest avenue, Avenida 9 de Julio.

In the evening, you will enjoy a Tango Show (with dinner, without a guide). Tango is immensely popular worldwide, but Argentina has one undeniable advantage – it is the birthplace of Tango. The amazing world of Tango... The dance on the stage, with its passion and virtuosity, transports you into a world of love and elegant performance. This dance originated in the city's ports among poor immigrants, gauchos, and other marginalized people. Initially, the dance was performed quite loosely by two men and was named after the Latin word "tangere," which means "to touch." Over time, Tango became slower and acquired new tones of intimacy. Orchestras were formed to perform Tango. The dance rapidly gained popularity, and today, Tango is one of the most sensual dances on Earth. It teaches sincerity and reminds men of gallantry and women of tenderness. In the restaurant, the interior creates a Tango atmosphere, and a menu featuring several traditional dishes with excellent Argentine wines complements this romantic evening.
