You will see a unique capital city and experience the legendary centuries-old culture of Argentina—a blend of history and art. Buenos Aires is home to most of Argentina's attractions. The elegance of the architecture is comparable only to Paris, but the city is unique in its beauty. Buenos Aires is widely known for its numerous museums, and art enthusiasts will find a wealth of diverse museums, galleries, theaters, and architectural monuments here. The main attractions of the city include the old neighborhood of La Boca, the historic San Telmo district, where you will find numerous large and small bars, restaurants, and an authentic antique market at Plaza Dorrego. The true heart of Buenos Aires is the central Plaza de Mayo—the largest shopping center in the world. Also among the main attractions of the city is the "Pink House" (Casa Rosada, the presidential palace), associated with the name of Evita Peron, and many other monumental landmarks. Among them is the city's symbol—the 67-meter obelisk erected in honor of Argentina's declaration of independence, standing on the world's widest street, Avenida 9 de Julio. You will also visit the elegant Recoleta district with its famous cemetery, the colonial-style El Pilar Church, and the nearby cultural and commercial center. The tour program also includes visits to the modern areas of the city: Puerto Madero and the parks of Lezama and 3 de Febrero.
In the evening, you will attend a Tango Show (with dinner, without a guide). Tango is immensely popular worldwide, but Argentina has one undeniable advantage—it originated here. The amazing world of tango. The dance on stage, with its passion and virtuosity, transports you to a world of love and graceful performance. This dance was born in the ports of the city among poor immigrants, gaucho cowboys, and other unsettled people. Initially, the dance was performed rather crudely by two men and was named from the Latin "tangere"—to touch. Over time, tango became slower and gained new tones of intimacy. Orchestras performing tango appeared. The dance quickly gained popularity, and today, tango is one of the most sensual dances on earth; it teaches sincerity, reminds men of gallantry, and women of tenderness. The restaurant's interior creates a tango atmosphere, and a menu of several traditional dishes with excellent Argentine wines will complement this romantic evening.
