Things to do in Buenos Aires, Capital Federal District: The Best History Museums
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.

The original building that sat here, of adobe and thatch, served as the administrative building during Spanish rule. It fell into disrepair and this new building was begun in the mid 1700s. It is a beautiful old building, well maintained, at one end of the Plaza de Mayo opposite Casa Rosada. Today, it serves as a museum housing much memorabilia from the May Revolution of 1810. There are documents, paintings, clothing and jewelry, and other artifacts. There are interactive exhibits, and coverage of the Spanish colonial era and British invasions. There is access to a former jail, and an 1835 ornamental water well. The museum is closed on Mondays but opens other days at 10:30am. Closing times vary. There is a small admission fee but the museum is free on Tuesdays.
