It is amongst the most famous opera houses in the world and
offers magnificent Opera and Ballet programmes.
The Obelisk

of Corrientes and 9 de Julio avenues.
The shopping zone and the "city"
 Florida

to the "City", Buenos Aires’ main financial
centre. Next to the crossing with Corrientes Avenue is the
Sociedad Rural Argentina and Richmond tea house. Plenty of
good grills and cinemas can be found between Lavalle Street
and 9 de Julio Avenue.
Santa Fe Avenue is also a busy shopping area; and in Plaza
San Martín you will find some of the city’s most
important palaces and hotels.
Recoleta
 An
Elegant neighbourhood with a famous cemetery, the colonial
church of Nuestra Señora del Pilar, and a nearby cultural
and commercial centre.
Palermo
This is one of the largest and most attractive parts of the
city because of its parks and tree-lined avenues. The district
has three interesting routes which are worth visiting: Palermo
de Bosques y Lagos (Palermo and its Woods and Lakes); Palermo
Chico (Small Palermo), the Zoo, the Botanical Garden, the
Sociedad Rural; and
Palermo Viejo (Old Palermo) with a nostalgic atmosphere,
better known as the Palermo of Borges and Carriego.
Enthusiasm for horses is witnessed at the Argentine Racetrack,
and in polo tournaments or "Pato" matches - a genuine
Argentine sport -, both played on the Polo field.
Third day in Buenos Aires
San Telmo
 One
of the oldest parts of the city with renovated colonial houses,
where artists and artisans live. There are many tango dance
halls in this area, and the picturesque Antique Fair of San
Pedro Telmo is held every Sunday at the Plaza Dorrego.
The picturesque neighborhood
of La Boca
This is the district where the first Genoese immigrants settled.
Stroll down Caminito Street and go by "La Bombonera"
football stadium - headquarter of Boca Juniors Football Club-
, where you may have the chance to watch a match between the
eternal rivals: Boca Juniors and River Plate.
The myth of Gardel
Retrace his footsteps in the neighborhood of the Abasto market
– currently a shopping mall - and visit his grave in
La Chacarita cemetery. His tangos can be heard everywhere.
