What to do and see in Buenos Aires, Capital Federal District: The Best Things to do Good for Kids
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.

A place by the river where Nature meets the city, the Woman's Bridge, and a cute passage by the river to go for a stroll during the Summer, and get the breeze. Nice restaurants, ice cream places and gourmet stores around too. Don't miss it.

We walked through this park en route to the Bosque (middle of the park) but never made it there. Once we saw the Lago (lake) with the boat rentals we simply had to stay and do some paddle boating. Up to that point, we saw walkers, joggers, and people sitting on the lawn. That alone makes this a great spot in central Buenos Aires. We rented a paddle boat suitable for 4 people, with a small roof. Cost was about 800AP ($12USD) for 30 minutes. Started out fun and fine, then the skies opened up with rain, and we simply got drenched! We finally paddled back and got out, with dozens of people taking shelter from the weather. I asked at the ticket booth if we can extend for another couple hours (as a joke) and we were told "they were closed" - at which time I presented out coupon receipt and with no further words she refunded me the entire 800. Very nice of them to do that! We would definitely come back if we find the time. Do try the boats on Lago Palermo there!

I visited this center several times for free concerts. They all have been high level quality and they were from classic to tango music! Never in my life I found a place like this anywhere.

Open to the public since 1874, the Bosques de Palermo is the oldest park in Buenos Aires.
Reviewed By anagracielal2017 - Buenos Aires, Argentina
This place is the best to relax from the speed of the traffic, the sound of it and the crowded downtown. There are lots of beautiful trees, lakes with boats and ducks and gees, a hugh rose garden with many different species, an Spanish patio with original ceramics from Andalucia, a Planetarium recently upgraded, and a municipal golf link. So any tourist must visit Palermo !! Also nice statues, dont miss them. And an Art Museum and restaurants.

The museum was big and fun. A lot of big skeletons and cool foot prints of the dinosaurs. The bottom floor had dinosaurs and prehistoric mammals, along with some modern day birds and ocean creatures. In one room was rocks and minerals and another had an aquarium of fish. The museum was very cool, and I would visit it again.

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.
