The 10 Best Museums in La Boca, Capital Federal District
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 is an international class museum, located in La Boca neighborhood from Buenos Aires, near Bombonera Stadium. It has a modern and beatiful architecture. I also recommend going to the Cafe in the top floor.

Here is an artist that deserves to be ranked with the English painter Turner. Benito Martin has captured the heart of La Boca and the great heart of the Porteno city: It’s vital immigrant class of workers and builders. His brush work bespeaks the energy inherent is his subject matter. His work as a preservationists of the caminitos and barrio de La Boca enshrine him “un patron de humanidad.” Now, what is required is a lasting tribute: That which would be most fitting is a suspension of demolition of older dwellings, their refurbishment, and a complete ban on all comstruction of modern high and low rises marketed to dollar speculators. That would be an even better and lasting monument to Benito Auinquela Martin’s memory; the complete presevation of his artistic and humane vision.

One of my favourite memories of Buenos Aires, was attending a Boca Juniors' football game on their home turf (naturally). I quickly learned that no fans from the opposing team are permitted to attend these games, (which goes for the other teams as well) --for good reason. The atmosphere was electric and incredibly exciting. How could it not be with so many loyal and extremely passionate fans chanting enthusiastically for their beloved Boca Juniors' team. I initially turned down a ticket because I thought it was a little pricey ($100 US), that is until an Argentinian friend told me how hard it was for locals to get tickets. Everyone, she said, wants to see these games, and I shouldn't miss out on this opportunity. Boy, was she ever right! Anyone who has a chance to attend one of these games should grab it. Just remember to always cheer for the home team!!
