10 Must-Try Things For Travellers in Buenos Aires, Argentina

To have the best time in Buenos Aires, travellers must only need to follow a few steps. First, book a room at Ulises Recoleta Suites and then plan out your holiday with this list of 10 things to do in Argentina’s alluring capital.

1. Watch a football match

Argentina is a football-crazy nation. Producing outstanding players such as Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi, you should try to catch a game during your visit. You will surely enjoy cheering, jeering, and singing, “Ole, ole, ole!” repeatedly with the audience.

2. Try the local delicacies

During your travels, it is very important to try something new when you visit a city like Buenos Aires. Look for La Brigada restaurant so you can try delicacies such as pig liver, intestines, and other surprisingly tasty innards.



3. Check out the religious theme park

A religious theme park exists in Buenos Aires and you must admit that it will tickle your fancy. Check out Tierra Santa so you can see a 20-metre image of Jesus rise from the Earth.

4. Stroll by the necropolis

While some might consider it as an unusual choice, graveyards are one of the most interesting, artistic, and peaceful sites anywhere.
Enjoy a quiet afternoon at the Cementerio de la Recoleta and marvel at the place that CNN named as one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world in 2013.

5. Tango all you can

Bring your dancing shoes and enjoy all-you-can-dance tango at the Centro Cultural Torquato Tasso, La Marshall, and Tango Entre Muchachos. You simply cannot miss the chance to dance during your visit.

6. Have coffee and croissant

Feeling a little hungry and tired after all the dancing? Before you head back to Ulises Recoleta Suites in Buenos Aires, visit Cafe Tortoni. Built in 1858, this place is one of the oldest establishments in Argentina and offers the best traditional coffee blends and medialuna — the Argentine version of a croissant.

7. Go for a picnic and bird watching

Another fun thing you can do during your stay is visiting Reserva Ecólogica Constanera Sur to enjoy some good old picnic and bird watching. In case the over 200 species of birds doesn’t interest you, perhaps the large jogging and cycling grounds will.

8. Drink until the early hours

You are on vacation, so loosen up and drink and dance the night away at Gran Bar Danzón. One of the best bars in the city, this place also offers great food, wine, and cocktails that will surely make you stay in bed all day at your Buenos Aires accommodation the next day.

9. Pay homage to Evita

You have seen the movie and sung the song. Now, pay court to the former first lady — and one of the most iconic women in Argentine history — Eva Peron by visiting Casa Rosada. The highlight of this presidential palace is the balcony where Madonna performed the popular ballad, “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”. There is also a place called Museo Evita that exhibits her various belongings such as jewellery and accessories.

10. Hunt for relics in San Telmo

Before checking out of your hotel room at Ulises Recoleta Suites, drop by San Telmo. Here, you will find many antiques and other hidden gems that you can buy as souvenir.
