El Ateneo Grand Splendid

After an exhaustive and careful restoration of this beautiful 1919 theater, the biggest bookstore in Latin America opened in what used to be the old Grand Splendid cinema. Without altering the old structure—twinned with the Opera de Paris theatre—it still has its original features and magnificent friezes, like the one on the spectacular dome. There is now a cafeteria in place of the stage, where you can read books taken from the bookshelves. There are also reading places on the corners of the main floor and in the old balconies on the first floor, furnished with tables and comfortable armchairs, computers for searching or online purchasing and an area dedicated to children, 'El Ateneo Junior', with interactive games and storytelling. There is also a small music stage, CDs and DVDs for sale, art exhibitions on the third floor and facilities for watching DVDs.

San Telmo

A Bohemian neighborhood that dances to the tunes of tango, abuzz with street markets that provide a stark contrast to its tranquil Colonial origins, San Telmo defines flamboyance, culture and movement. While brick makers and dockworkers occupied this zone in the 17th Century, it has always been known for the markets that have been characterizing the cobblestone streets since its origins. Till date, tourists throng to the Sunday antiques' market that lights up the otherwise peaceful Plaza Dorrego, which is also one of the oldest plazas of Buenos Aires. A plethora of opulent art galleries has attracted the creme de la creme of the urban crowd, which upped the ante of this remarkable traditional area. The traditional Colonial Buildings, festooned with bougainvillea, have now been turned into swanky cafes and lofts, while still maintaining the old world charm. The quintessence of the vibrant culture of Buenos Aires comes alive with the street performers who swirl and twirl their feet to tango, making every day a grand carnival. Restaurant theaters that host tango shows on a regular basis have become one of the most sought after tourist attractions.

Museo Evita

Since 2002, this museum offers a marvelous glimpse at the life of arguably the most remarkable woman in Argentinean history, Eva Duarte de Peron. Divided across thirteen exhibition rooms you'll find an amazing array of items that chronicle her journey from humble young actress to popular first lady committed to help the poor and destitute. Soothing ambient music and several interesting audiovisual displays (English subtitles are always available) help round out an enjoyable and inspirational experience. There is also a nice, comfy resto-bar inside the premises. Guided tours in English are available and highly recommended.

Antares

This ever-popular brewpub puts a modern twist on a typical brewery's image. Every seat and stool is occupied from open to close nearly every night, and it's not hard to see why: Antares is the home of seven locally brewed beers on tap and bottles of countless other domestics and imports. Order a pint of your future favorite brew or forget the stress of choosing the right one; relax with a sample of all seven at once! With a complete menu offering smaller bites and full meals, Antares is the perfect place for a night out with friends, and to see who else is drinking what! Do check for incredible Happy Hours.

Bernardino Rivadavia Natural Sciences Museum

Located in the residential and prosperous barrio of Caballito, the Argentinean Museum of Natural Sciences is the country's largest natural history collection. The museum combines traditional and modern exhibits, ranging from large-scale skeletal remains to giant sharks hanging in fluorescent-painted rooms. The museums' permanent exhibition includes rooms devoted to a wide range of topics, from botany and geology to paleontology and zoology. The reconstruction of ancient Patagonian dinosaurs, the biggest and best maintained of its kind in South America, deserves special praise. The richly populated tropical aquarium is also worthy of a detailed tour.

Buenos Aires Botanical Garden

Nestled amid the buzzing city center, Jardin Botanico gives a charming peek into the green wonders of the Buenos Aires. Designed by renowned French-Argentine architect Carlos Thays, the garden opened its doors to the public in the year 1898. A veritable green lung of the city, the garden is a picturesque conglomeration of three different landscape styles. The symmetry of the 17th Century French gardens meets the vibrancy of the Oriental gardens with rare Asian plants. The Roman gardens, dotted with soaring cypress and poplars, house a rare species of tree, that was found in First Century Roman botanist Pliny the Younger's Apennine mountain villa. A celebration of diverse nature and colorful blooms, the serene park is ornamented with Roman God statuettes amidst water ponds and park benches. Apart from a botanical library and museum, the park has five greenhouses. The biggest of them, made with antique iron and glass and built in Art Nouveau style, belongs to the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1889. It has preserved over 2500 tropical plants and is touted to be one of the rarest greenhouses in the world. The garden still has the erstwhile mansion of Carlos Thays, which was built in the year 1881. A labyrinth of landscape and history, the Jardin Botanico has more than just rare plants to offer its visitors.
