The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

Dominating the plaza in which it sits, the stately capitol building is modeled after the White House in Washington DC.
The Congresso offers free tours in English but it depends if an English speaking guide shows up for the day. Our bed and breakfast hostess called the morning of and luckily, the English speaking tour was on. The website was not accurate on the tours times so you really need to call to make sure of the times. This building was modeled after the US Capitol Building. It was difficult to take a good photo as it was covered in scaffolding. Our tour had four people and was only conducted in English. It was an informative tour of the Senate Chamber, the Chamber of Deputies, and the Pink Room. Entrance is on the left side of the building. You will need to bring your passport and go through security. Photos without flash are allowed once you get past security.

Love this presidential palace made more famous by Madonna's version of Evita. It's the center of the plaza and has so much going for it from its size to its famous balconies to its signature color.
