Strongly influenced by European Culture, Buenos Aires is sometimes referred to as the "Paris of South America", for its soaring architecture and "the city of books" due to its hundreds of bookstores, public libraries and cultural associations. The Buenos Aires International Book Fair is celebrated as one of the top five book fairs in the world.

Tango Music's birthplace is in Argentina. Considered an art form, UNESCO's Intergovernmental Committee of Intangible Heritage declared tango part of the world's cultural heritage, safeguarding this cultural treasure for future generations.

Culturally, the city has the busiest live theater industry in Latin America, with scores of theaters and productions. It is the site of the Teatro Colon, an internationally rated opera house and several symphony orchestras and choral societies. Buenos Aires is also very active in street art, with major murals everywhere in the city.

The city has numerous museums related to history, fine arts, modern arts, decorative arts, popular arts, sacred art, arts and crafts, theatre and popular music, as well as churches and places of worship of many denominations, many of which are architecturally noteworthy.

A Day trip to El Tigre is perfect on a sunny day.

New Things To Do

  • Aquariums

    Oceans cover 71% of the Earth’s surface, and we’ve only explored about 5% of it. That leaves so much of the Earth that we know nothing about. Not everyone can dive right into the water to look at the ocean life, so why not do the next best thing? Aquariums give us a window into a whole other world. Most locations around the world have aquariums; some larger than others.

  • Snowmobiling

    Snowmobiling began to take off in the 1950's as lightweight design emerged. At first, snowmobiling was a topic of dispute, because snowmobilers like to take advantage of the flexibility of their machines to travel off-road, thereby disrupting otherwise pristine environments. Others objected to snowmobilers because their machines were noisy and polluted the environment.
