The 10 Best Things to do 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.

David taxis. We booked this company after seeing it on trip advisor we booked David to pick my wife and I up at the port of Buenos Aires after a Cruise. David was booked for 9.30am, we disembarked from our ship and where at the terminal by about 9.00am David was already there,it was about 90 minute drive to the International Airport although David only spoke a little English we communicated well via the translator app on the phone, during the journey he was full of info about things on the route. We would have no hesitation booking David again and would recommend him to other clients. An excellent service.

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.

I joined a guided tour of the stadium and I really enjoyed it! Being a fan of football and knowing about Boca I had to come here but I was surprised by the stadium's layout and features. It was really interesting and you;d never get a stadium like this in England. Just wish the seasons was running as I'd have lover to see Boca playing.

I danced on the stage here for the Festival BA - the Mundial de Tango. It is a two week festival of dance and music spread all over the city of Buenos Aires in August every year. This is a medium sized theatre with lots of exhibition space around it.The sound is terrific, the seats are comfortable. The only drawback to this theatre is that the backdrop and floor are natural wood, and give everything a yellow tint. A central space is used for a dance floor for group lessons and tango parties. There is a small cafe outside the front door, but they are often very busy. Usina del Arte is located in Boca, south of the central district and Puerto Madero, but taxis are cheap and there are lots of buses stopping right in front, if you can navigate those. There is a train in the courtyard for a good photo backdrop.
