Argentina's Top Picks
Buenos Aires's '9 de Julio' is the widest street in the world
Top 5 Tango Spots of Argentina
- Confiteria Ideal: Be charmed by the grand building, old waiters, genuine tango classes and shows that this Buenos Aires institution has been producing for more than 100 years. It might be a bit rough around the edges but authenticity is guaranteed in this historic gem.
- Barrancas de Belgrano: On the weekends, head to this leafy park at dusk to see unpretentious locals tango as the sun sets. Try out your tango steps, mix and mingle with Argentines and tourists, and enjoy the casual, fun vibe that proliferates under the park's gazebo.
- Plaza Dorrego: This relaxed San Telmo favourite is a top spot for alfresco people-watching, tango viewing, wine drinking and socialising.
- La Catedral: For a slice of old Argentina, head to this bewitching warehouse of kitsch where you can learn the art of tango with locals amid walls of old posters and a giant glowing, red heart. Lessons are taught in Spanish and while the dancers here may not be technically great, their passion and love of tango is unquestionable.
- Caminito: Purists may dismiss La Boca's showy street performers as 'tacky tangoists' but the colourful streets, flamboyant moves and suave outfits do have a bit of flair and provide quintessential Buenos Aires photo ops.
