Tango in Buenos Aires

Learn all about this Famous Latin Dance

Tango belongs to the city of Buenos Aires. This is especially true for San Telmo, the oldest street. It is one of the best places to see and hear this famous dance, and that is possible at any time of the day.

According to the stories, this is where the original tango comes from. The atmosphere in San Telmo is special. The many old houses, bars and cobblestones give it a mystical atmosphere. Meanwhile, there are many tourists, so the atmosphere has changed slightly. But you still see men and women completely absorbed in the music.

Best Time for Tango

Barrio de San Telmo is very nice on Sundays. There are indoor flea markets and at Plaza Dorrego you can find an antique market. 

If you love to dance the tango, or love to watch it, you should visit Festival de Tango. Especially the open classes for beginners are quite popular. 

The shows where tango is mixed with other dance and music styles is extraordinary. There’s also a tour to learn more about the history of tango. Which is very interesting.
