Centro Cultural Borges

Reviewed By louisa756 - Dallas, United States

This Argentine tango show is held inside the Borges Cultural Center (BCC) located inside the beautiful Galerias Pacifico shopping center in Buenos Aires. Theater type seats are basic, cushioned, and comfortable. Different performances of tango are scheduled for different days during the week. Three of us went to see Pasion de Tango show on a Tuesday evening. One of the few early tango shows in Buenos Aires central area so you can plan other activities such as wining and dining at other places. One purchases open-seating tickets at least one-hour before the show at their manned kiosk inside the BCC. Cost in Feb 2020 was only $900 Argentine Pesos. Cash only, no credit cards. Theatre is air-conditioned and kept at a comfortable temperature. Lighting is good. Sound is good. No photography or video recording of any kind is allowed during the performance. They sell DVDs after the show however, we never found them. The performance included a small live band which played quite well. The dancers performed historic Argentine tangos covering several periods and costume changes. A solo male singer serenaded the audience between dances. The entire show started early at 8 pm and ended at just over an hour. This allows finding dinner later at a dedicated restaurant. In summary, a great introduction to historic Argentine tangos with no frills (no drinks or food service to gouge patrons).

Uru Recoleta

Leather factory- Taylor made

Reviewed By mcsc-squared - New York City, United States

We came upon Uru by chance and loved their leather jackets but all the floor samples we liked weren't sized right for us. They took our measurements and made 4 jackets in the color we liked, the style we wanted, and the grade of leather (3 in lamb, 1 in cow) in 24 hours and delivered to our hotel. Tomas, our salesperson was fantastic. Very patient and very helpful.

Centro Cultural Recoleta

Next to the famed Recoleta Cemetery (final resting place of Eva Perón) stands an arts center with permanent and touring exhibits that also features theatrical and musical performances. Its first floor houses the kid-interactive Museo Participativo de Ciencias, where youngsters can wander on their own.

Reviewed By 245judik - Washington DC, United States

For me, this was a real highlight of Buenos Aires. The center is one part modern art, one part sit-and-have-a-drink, and one part learning. I found the space to be inviting and colorful, worth a stop after touring the cemetery next door.

Feria de Mataderos

A local festival of food, art and dance, which takes place every Sunday and on holidays.

Reviewed By DannyDJI - Beinsdorp, The Netherlands

Feria de Mataderos What an experience . One must leave the so called safe tourist zone from BA to get here by cab ( takes approx 20-25 minutes to get here ) Feria de Mataderos is held on sundays . Many people selling items on a very long market can be seen too . People dancing with eachother , Some gauchos anticipate too , This was an awesome experience !
