What people say

"The Teatro Colon is an incredibly beautiful old building and theatre. In the evenings you can catch Philharmonic orchestra and other musical concerts. There are guided visits every single day, every 15 minutes in Spanish. However, there is only one tour in English: 3pm There is one visit per day in Portuguese: 1pm The guided visit lasts 50 minutes. You should arrive 20-30 minutes before the start of the tour to buy your tickets. It's possible to purchase them online, but keep in mind that paying with your credit card online will get you the red rate. I suggest reserving your tour in advance (you can do it in person) if you are visiting in the high season. Prices: Overall: $3,800 Argentine residents (with DNI): $1800 Retirees, university residents 1 and Cultural Pass: $800 Children under 7 years 2 : Free of charge Persons with a certificate of disability and their companion 3 : Free of charge There is a small cafe in the center hallway where you can grab a coffee while you wait for your tour to begin.

"Ornate, prestigious, and considered one of the top ten opera houses in the world! The acoustics and architecture of this building are placed at the same level of other world-renowned theaters and it first opened its doors in 1857 before a later period of construction. This is probably one of my favorite places in the city and I highly reccomend you visit, whether for a quick peak, guided tour, or full production. Tickets can be pricey, however there are bargain options available for standing seats — search for ‘cazuela de pie’ and ‘paraíso de pie.’"

"A former theatre, the Grand Splendid is one of the world's most beautiful bookstores. With each incarnation since its inception in 1919—first as a performing arts theater, then as a cinema, and now a bookstore—the Grand Splendid has proven itself befitting of its majestic title. Having retained its original frescoed ceilings, ornate theater boxes, elegant rounded balconies, and detailed trimmings the building remains as stunning today as when it was first envisioned by architects Peró and Torres Armengol."

Mentioned in these guides

I have been living in Argentina for the past year (plus 5 months in Buenos Aires back in 2005). This is one of my favorite cities in the entire world, and I want to share with you what makes it so great. This 10 day itinerary begins on a Friday morning, and is arranged according to market schedules, or other events in the city that fall on particular days. But you can certainly do the activities out of order, and fit them to your schedule as needed. I have planned this 10-day itinerary to allow you to maximize your days, and hours in this amazing city, but still allow you to enjoy the small moments without feeling overwhelmed, and get rest when needed. I have spent around 100 hours researching, writing descriptions to give detailed information of every place mentioned in this itinerary, visiting and testing out each day; they are all genuine recommendations. I have carefully planned out and timed each activity, including transportation and time moving between sites. I have also linked related articles and videos from my blog and YouTube channel. This itinerary will provide you not only with daily activities, but information on how to get the best exchange rate, how to stay safe, and information for transportation- how to get from spot to spot, so you can put as little time into planning as possible. Let me do that for you! :) This is not the ideal itinerary for those seeking the nightlife and parties. It is full of morning, daytime, and evening activities (with a few optional activities that go into the night) to help you get to know the culture of Buenos Aires and Argentina. It does not include nightclubs. This is a great itinerary if you are coming to Buenos Aires for the first time and you want to see all the important places, along with a few extra gems. This can also serve if you live in the city but have friends and family coming to visit. I've got it all planned out for you! I have included a lot of walking in this itinerary, though I have attempted to concentrate each day in one particular area of the city whenever possible. However, the city is full of transportation options if you prefer less steps due to accessability issues, or fatigue. I strongly suggest reading through the entire itinerary at the beginning of the week in case there are places where you need to make a reservation. If so, it will be listed at the top of each day.
