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 is the memorial to the people who were "disappeared" under the military Junta in the 70's and 80's. It gives a good insight into the awful events at that time - thousands upon thousands of opposnents to the Junta were arrested without proper cause and illegally detained/ki9lled. It is very moving and thoughtprovoking place.

This unique sculpture is worth visiting on your tour of Buenos Aires. It is located in Plaza de las Naciones Unidas, Avenida Figueroa Alcorta, Buenos Aires, and was a gift to the city by the Argentine architect Eduardo Catalano. It's a moving sculpture, opening its petals in the morning and closing them in the evening.
