10 Argentinian Must Do's

1) MUST visit Iguassu Falls. This place is amazing. When you are there, in front of the falls, it doesn't quite seem real. A natural wonder for sure.


2) MUST go to a Tango show or lesson. You can get good packages which allow you to have a lesson, 3 course meal and sit down show. A fun and civilised evening out.


3) MUST eat the steak. The rumours are true! Steak really does taste different in Argentina! If you are a vegetarian very bad luck for you. You are missing out.... But you can get very good ice cream - i would recommend Volta.


4) MUST turn on the radio at 12am - At midnight all radio stations have to play Argentina's national anthem. Turn on the radio to find out.


5) MUST visit Palermo. This area of the city is very idyllic. Park areas and beautiful boutiques, cafes and restaurants. A great place to have a walk around even if you don't have much money to spend.


6) MUST visit El Caminito. Definitely a tourist hotspot but the streets are beautiful and vibrant. All the buildings are painted and you get tango dancers in the streets and bars. A good place to just sit down and take in your surroundings.


7) MUST experience the nightlife. Buenos Aires is renowned for it's nightlife. Things often don't kick off until about 2am, so prepare yourself for some wild nights....and try not to lose your purse.


8) MUST visit recoleta. Other than the famous cemetary where Evita rests, the surrounding areas give you much to do and explore in terms of eating, shopping and more.


9) MUST go to a football match. Not quite as rowdy as expected but still a buzzing atmosphere. The Argentinians love their football, and with the kind of weather they get it is a great way to spend the early evening hours.


10) MUST go shopping. Wherever you go in the city you will find places to shop. I had my spree on Florida Avenue. You can get good bargains, and of course, there are more expensive shops for those not backpacking.
