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.

Argentine chapel built in the 1700s.
Lovely church from the colonial times. Recently discovered some tunnels that join the main churches made to escape in case of invasion. I specially love the altar.

My daughter and I received a warm welcome at the Templo. An English speaking guide showed us the beautiful sanctuary, explained the history of the building and answered our questions about the current Jewish community. The interior is reminiscent of German and French churches of the 19th century with its lovely stained glass windows and impressive organ. The acoustics are so good that musicians from the nearby Teatro Colon use the sanctuary as a rehearsal space. Weekly concerts are given on Wednesday afternoons (call for details). Bring your passport for entrance. Fee of $10 US or 170 Argentine pesos includes the Jewish Museum in the same building. The exterior of the building is being renovated and the main door on Libertad is not accessible. However you can enter through a smaller door. Call to confirm opening hours. When we were there, the Templo was open for visitors Tuesday through Thursday afternoons. It is open for services at other hours.
