Fun Things To Do in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Buenos Aires is the capital and the largest city of Argentina. Often referred to as the "Paris of south America" , this mega city boasts amazing architecture and beautiful buildings that make it seem like one of the most modern cities in this region.

Apart from all the history this place offers, on a much lighter note, there's fun to be had in Buenos Aires. A simple yet fun thing to do would be to take a day's bicycle ride throughout the city. Some of the more popular bike trails lead to Bosques de Palermo, Alcorta and Avenida Libertador. For those who are looking for fun with the whole family, head down to the Temaiken zoo, a great place to spend an afternoon with the family while strolling around.

To turn the notch up a little, fun wise, wait till the sun goes down. Buenos Aires is said to have one of the best nightlife scenes in South America. Go club / bar hopping or head down to one of the most happening spots in town being Plaza Serrano (in Palermo Viejo).

Experience the live music scene with many boliches (clubs and pubs) where you can find different verities of music ranging from jazz to hip hop, reggae to Caribbean bands performing. Fun lasts almost till dawn in this city, so you can be sure you'll get a full night worth of unforgettable beats and music coupled with fantastic drinks and entertainment.

Last but most certainly not least, the one thing everyone should try at least once when they come to Buenos Aires would be, the Argentine Tango. Also known the tango capital of the world, many have said that "if you don't immerse yourself and experience the tango, you have not visited Buenos Aires".

Give it a go by taking up a tango class ranging from a short one hour lesson to a few more advanced lessons before heading to test it out. Dancing the tango can be a very special and memorable experience as the argentine tango is described to be one of the most provocative yet heart racing dances in the world today.

For the shy ones, there is another alternative. Though I say you are missing out on quite a bit, if you hate the thought of dancing, check out a tango show and who knows, it might make you change your mind. Many tango shows are available those at the bars and classrooms to the grander ones performed in hotels and parade squares. Whichever you choose to go to, you won't be disappointed.
