Buenos Aires - Tango, tango and more tango

If you want a true taste of South American or even Argentinian culoture then maybe Buenos Aires is not the place for you. But if you are after a magnificant city with a deep history and buzzing atmoshpere that is a fusion of many cultures, then you must go there. Because of the history of the city there is a huge European influence in the city and you will find many buildings similiar in style to buildings in Europe, especially France. Most of the tourist activities are located around the biggest avenue in the world, Avenida 9 de Julio. Here you will find some wonderful parks and places of interest. But lets face it, there are three main reasons to come here, for a cheap and fantastic variety of food – which the city proudly floughts due to its European roots, an insanely buzzing nightlife where most people don´t get back home or to their hotel until at least 5:00am, and Tango. Tango is everywhere, anytime and will be taught to anyone who is interested. Argentina is the home of Tango and Buenos Aires is the proud leading representitive of this exhilarating dance art. If you just want to see the dance rather than shake your money maker, there is plenty of Tango shows as well.
