This tango town, is quickly becoming a huge destination not only for tourists, but also for study abroad students.
This city which was formerly hit by a plague, has endured tragedies inflicted by military dictatorship, but it emerged from a broke and hyperinflation period. A cosmopolitan metropolis- the shops, restaurants, and dance clubs- was on the horizon, but at night and on the weekend, cash-strapped portenos, as the port city’s residents are so loving known, mostly vanished, leaving a town blanketed window-shoppers. Today after almost a of relative prosperity, brought in by a fiscally savvy government, the city has recovered it’s reputation as Latin America’s chicest destination. It is safe, refined, and like the tango dance, endlessly seductive.
Compass: “I love it here”, says Mia Young, a junior English major, studying abroad in the Paris of South America. She helps with a guide of who, what, when, and where, for prospective study abroad attendees.
Neighborhoods
Stroll around the uptown Recolata, and you’ll see the beaux Arts and Empire styled mansion. Walk a couple more blocks and you’ll find world-class boutiques, restaurants, and cafes that offer views of Evita’s house.
Tango
Dimly lit palaces are filled with Argentine slicksters and hip and edgy women. Should you wish to make like a young slickster or hip and edgy woman- even if only for a night- many tango clubs offer classes for tourists. The heaviest concentration of clubs can be found in San Telmo.
Historic Sights
The downtown Monteseratt district, dominated by the presidential Casa Rosada or Pink House, was strafed by Argentine naval aircraft, in an effort to drive President Juan Peron from power. The most famous sight, however is peron’s wife, Eva Peron. Her elaborate carved- marble necropolis is the top tourist destination.
Nightlife
Early morning life is more like it, with clubs and bars staying open until the wee hours of the morning. Try Buenos Aires News, or Divino Danceclub, they are the current “it” spots.
Sexy, sophisticated Buenos Aires will draw you into its own dance.
