Adventures in travelling - 2. Top ten things to do in Buenos Aires
May 25'th this year Buenos Aires will celebrate 200 years of independence. For those of you who make it out there here are some suggestions on what to do your first few days in town as you warm up for the party to end all parties in 2010 (and don't forget to check out Creamfields for some of the dreamiest trance you'll ever trip hop to ...)
Unlike other cities there's truly no end of things to do and see here ... so it's been a difficult set of choices to make the final ten ...
10. Try the Icy Bossa Nova (rum,brandy,galliano,passionfruit and honey) preferably at the Congo one of the most happening bars in town. It gets incredibly crowded round about midnight ...
9. Hit the underground Wednesday party Suzek (and the occasional SuperSuzek on Saturdays) at Niceto which is THE CLUB when it comes to trendsetting in BA.
8. Go hang out for some time at Caminito. Yeah it's full of grifters and shanties but they also have some of the most colorful tango dancers this side of town.
7. Go learn how to dance at Tango Cool one of the few beginner friendly places. The others involve intricate orchestration of eyebrow twitches and gestures before you can get a partner to ... well tango with you :)
6. Go shopping in Palermo Viejo in the funkiest boutiques you can hope to find south of the americas.
5. Visit the Malba, the best museum in this town and check out the modern masters. Plus the cafe is tres bonne and there's also a small cinema that offers art-house and cult classics.
4. Take one of the free guided tours offered by the Under Secretariat of tourism (details are available in the free guide to Buenos Aires offered online at http://www.bue.gov.ar/informacion/?menu_id=121&info=guias)
3. Take a moonlight tour (once a month when the moon is at it's fullest) in one of the best parks on the planet Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur (with four lakes, over 200 bird species, giant foxtail willows etc)
2. Get seriously drunk at one of the best bars I've ever visited the Grand Bar Danzo (Fridays they have DJs as well) and the food is awesome, and they're open to the wee hours of dawn (as all self respecting bars should be imo)
1. Rent a Telos by the hour (if you have to ask what this is about you don't wanna know) *grin* Seriously if you run into an amazing man/woman and want to er get to know them really well, the themed rooms and waterbeds really make it the most fun you can have with your clothes off :)
