Cafe Tortoni is more than famous in Buenos Aires, it’s iconic. If it isn’t on your list of places to go, it should be. Even if just to say you had a cup of coffee there.
If you are looking for more on a night out to Cafe Tortoni, come and see the tango shows. Sure, there are plenty of tango shows in Buenos Aires, many of them better quality (and more expensive) but seeing a tango show at Cafe Tortoni is something special, and quite affordable.
Tango shows at Cafe Tortoni cost only $120 pesos for 2 people, and the show is quite enjoyable. The only complaint I have heard is that there simply isn’t enough dancing. Only about Read more
Interested in peering into Buenos Aires’ past? Start at El Zanjón de Granados, a 175 year old mansion that leads to a series of underground tunnels that connect back to the city’s early settlements.

While the rest of the world saw a 2% drop in tourism revenue in 2008, Argentina saw a modest 5% increase. Why? Well, as vacations to European hot-spots become out of the question, a Europeanesque town where the dollar still holds strong against the peso is the best solution, which brings us to Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires and Argentina on a budget is completely possible. There are all different kinds of accommodations – hotels, hostels, dorm style hostels, apartahotels… the list goes on and on. Restaurants as well range all over the place, and even the smaller, traditional restaurants serve up the Argentine beef you’ve been craving.
AskMen.com realizes that 2009 has been a tough year for us all. With that in mind, they have come out with a list of the best 29 cities to live in, and Buenos Aires comes in at #13, the highest ranked Latin American city.
Factors considered included the cost of living, economic stability, and of course, culture, entertainment, and women! The price of a pint of beer is even considered, and in BA it is about $2.00 average.
