Hundreds of people arrive in the city very week on cheap flights to Buenos Aires to take advantage of the many attractions in the region, and the destination is only becoming more popular as time goes on. The city, like many Spanish cities, is unpredictable and one moment you will be sat in a café drinking coffee, the next you will be dancing the Tango with a handsome Argentinian.

There are many things that you must see in the city, including:

La Recoleta Cemetery

This exclusive graveyard is home to many rich and famous inhabitants. This cemetery is like no other in the world, and rather than feeling like a traditional graveyard it instead feels like a small city. With winding streets and elaborate architecture this cemetery may be just as impressive as the larger city which towers above the ancient buildings. There are several places you should visit when you come to Buenos Aires and this is definitely one. Take a tour of the famous tombs including the grave of the most famous Argentinian, Eva Perón’s tomb, affectionately known as Evita. The heart-wrenching sculpture of a bride who died in an avalanche on her honeymoon is also a popular attraction.

Teatro Colon

If you were going to go anywhere to experience the old Argentina you should visit the Teatro Colon. The old building harks back to a period of opulence and grandeur, so whether you walk through the entrance or sit in the massive theatre you will discover the magic of both opera and theatre. This venue is acoustically considered to be amongst the five best concert venues in the world, so anyone visiting this region should try to attend a performance here.

Cafe Tortoni

There are many cafes strewn across the city, but none quite Cafe Tortoni, it is perhaps the most famous cafe in Argentina and has hosted many celebrities since 1858.
