Those wanting to participate in the dance should check out the outdoor milonga at <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La Glorieta de Belgrano <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">when the weather is nice \u2014 this is where the locals dance. Many milongas offer lessons for all levels of experience before the dancing begins (l<\/span>essons are usually around 8 pm, and the real dancing can start as late as 10 pm).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tango tips from local Intrepid guides\u00a0Alberto Gaitan and Juan Sanchez:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If you are looking for something flashy (a big band, great costumes, amazing dancers and a nice dinner with free drinks while you are watching), go to Madero Tango or Piazzolla Tango. Both are around $150.<br \/>\nFor a much cheaper option (under $40) that has just as good dancers and musicians but is less fancy, Caf\u00e9 Tortoni is a great option. Dinner is not included but you sit at a table and can order food from a menu. There are two shows per night and they sell out pretty fast.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Shopping<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buenos Aires has some of the best shopping in Latin America.
