10 Museums in San Nicolás That You Shouldn't Miss
The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

This Argentine tango show is held inside the Borges Cultural Center (BCC) located inside the beautiful Galerias Pacifico shopping center in Buenos Aires. Theater type seats are basic, cushioned, and comfortable. Different performances of tango are scheduled for different days during the week. Three of us went to see Pasion de Tango show on a Tuesday evening. One of the few early tango shows in Buenos Aires central area so you can plan other activities such as wining and dining at other places. One purchases open-seating tickets at least one-hour before the show at their manned kiosk inside the BCC. Cost in Feb 2020 was only $900 Argentine Pesos. Cash only, no credit cards. Theatre is air-conditioned and kept at a comfortable temperature. Lighting is good. Sound is good. No photography or video recording of any kind is allowed during the performance. They sell DVDs after the show however, we never found them. The performance included a small live band which played quite well. The dancers performed historic Argentine tangos covering several periods and costume changes. A solo male singer serenaded the audience between dances. The entire show started early at 8 pm and ended at just over an hour. This allows finding dinner later at a dedicated restaurant. In summary, a great introduction to historic Argentine tangos with no frills (no drinks or food service to gouge patrons).

The main objective of the museum is to study and spread our country's monetary history. In order to carry out these missions, the museum takes care of the different numismatic pieces that were once the currency in the Argentinian territory from the pre-Columbian period up to now.

The museum was opened almost 5 decades ago and belongs to the Israelite Congregation of the Argentinian Republic (the first Jewish institution in Argentina). It takes the name of Salvador Kibrik, the precursor of the foundation of the museum. Among its rich collection are Torah scrolls, Jewish ritual objects, books about religion, paintings, mezuzats, coins, costumes worn on the day of the circumcision and many more worthwhile admiring objects. It provides a lot of information about Jewish immigration to our country. The information is in Spanish and English. Many, many interesting things to discover. Make sure to allot enough time. With its clear objective of collectively building the memory and identity of the Jews, this museum is worth being visited since as a plus, one has access to the first synagogue that Argentina had. Do not miss Sabah's table! On Libertad Street Not to be confused with the Holocaust Museum.

I didn't know there's a Beatles Museum in Buenos Aires, found it accidentally when trying to escape the rain. Having seen the original Beatles experience in Liverpool, I was quite impressed by the amount of exhibits here. If you like the Beatles, this place is a must see. Most explanations and signs in Spanish.
