Buenos Aires In-Depth Travel Guide | Must-See Spots · Food · Tips​​

​​🌆 Must-Visit Attractions​​ ​​📍 Plaza de Mayo (May Square)​​ The ​​political heart of Argentina​​, surrounded by the Pink House (Casa Rosada, Presidential Palace), the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the City Hall. ​​Every Thursday afternoon​​: "Mothers of Plaza de Mayo" gather (a human rights group protesting disappearances during the military dictatorship). ​​📚 El Ateneo Grand Splendid (Athenaeum Bookstore)​​ ​​Ranked among the world’s top 3 most beautiful bookstores​​, converted from a century-old theater with golden ceilings, red curtains, and opera-style balconies. ​​Hidden gem​​: Order a coffee and sit on the ​​original theater stage​​, immersing yourself in a "reader-as-performer" experience. ​​💃 Tango Experiences​​ ​​Tango Porteño​​ (Luxury Show): Includes dinner + professional performances, perfect for first-timers. ​​La Catedral Club​​ (Locals’ Favorite): A gritty, converted factory with electrifying ​​midnight improv tango​​. ​​Free Street Performances​​: Weekends around ​​San Telmo Antique Market​​ often feature spontaneous shows. ​​🛍️ Shopping & Architectural Wonders​​ ​​Galerías Pacífico (Pacific Galleries)​​: ✔ Dome frescoes painted by Italian masters. ✔ ​​Basement leather workshops​​ for custom-made gloves (50% cheaper than in China). ​​Puente de la Mujer (Woman’s Bridge)​​: 🌉 Best photo time: ​​Blue hour​​ (30 mins after sunset) when the bridge rotates open. ​​🍴 Food Guide: Must-Try vs. Skip​​ ​​🔥 Must-Eat List​​ ​​Parrilla (Argentine BBQ)​​: ✅ ​​Don Julio​​ (World’s Top 50 Restaurant): Order tomahawk steak + Malbec wine. ✅ ​​La Brigada​​: Their entraña (skirt steak) is so tender it’s "cuttable with a spoon." ​​Empanadas (Fried Dumplings)​​: Try ​​El Sanjuanino​​’s spicy beef filling with chimichurri sauce. ​​Pizza al Molde (Deep-Dish Pizza)​​: ​​Guerrin​​, a 90-year-old joint, piles its thick crust with ​​Provoleta cheese​​ (Argentina’s gooey delight). ​​⚠️ Avoid These Traps​​ ✖ Chinese restaurants in ​​Barrio Chino​​ are overpriced (e.g., a bowl of beef noodles ≈ ¥80 RMB). ✖ Street money-changers near ​​Obelisco​​ offer terrible rates and may hand out counterfeit bills. ​​🚇 Local Transport Hacks​​ ​​SUBE Card​​: Works on all subways/buses, ​​40% cheaper than cash tickets​​. Buy at kioscos (look for the SUBE logo). ​​Night Buses​​: After the subway closes at ​​0:30 AM​​, take ​​Bus 8 or 152​​ to reach most tourist areas. ​​Taxi Safety​​: Use ​​Uber/Cabify​​—regular taxis may detour to hike fares. ​​📱 Pro Tips​​ ​​Internet​​: Buy a ​​Movistar SIM​​ at the airport (15GB ≈ ¥100 RMB/month). ​​Currency Exchange​​: ​​Western Union​​ offers rates ​​80% better than official banks​​. ​​Safety​​: 🔸 Wear your phone crossbody to deter snatchers. 🔸 Check news for protests near ​​Casa Rosada​​ before visiting. ​​ ​​#BuenosAires #ArgentinaTravel
