Probably the most colorful alley in South America: In the harbor district of La Boca, the houses shine in bright colors, tango dancers spin on the street and artists sell their works. Lively, photogenic and full of Buenos Aires folklore – a must-see during the day.
Argentina's most famous cemetery is a city of the dead made up of around 4,800 magnificent mausoleums over four blocks. Between marble funerary chapels and tree-lined alleys lies the tomb of Eva "Evita" Perón – one of the most visited attractions in the city.
The historical and political center of Argentina: Around the Plaza de Mayo are the pink Casa Rosada (Evita once spoke to the people from the balcony), the cathedral and the town hall. History was made here – still the site of demonstrations and rallies today.
One of the most beautiful and acoustically best opera houses in the world, over 100 years old and celebrated by National Geographic. The magnificent architecture with its golden foyer and large hall is impressive – a guided tour or a concert visit is definitely worthwhile.
Gay attractions in Buenos Aires connect well with the queer history of Argentina, which in 2010 became the first country in Latin America to introduce same-sex marriage. To this day, this early legal step characterizes the open climate of the city. The queer highlight of the year is the Marcha del Orgullo, which takes place every November and moves from the Plaza de Mayo past the Congress Building through the center. It is one of the largest Pride events in Latin America and gathers hundreds of thousands of participants.
The heart of queer life beats in Palermo, the district that has become a trendy area since the 1990s and can now be easily explored on foot with bars, cafés and parks. Beyond the scene, Buenos Aires offers the classic stations that can be combined with a queer stroll through the city: the Plaza de Mayo with the government palace Casa Rosada, the elegant Recoleta with its famous cemetery and the tango culture in San Telmo. Tango also has queer varieties, such as Tango Queer, in which the fixed roles are broken up. If you want to get to know Buenos Aires beyond the pure postcard motifs, you will find your own approach in the open city life and in the scene around Palermo. The following places and events will take you to the most important stations.
