Valentine Vacation in Buenos Aires

In the journey of life, a Valentine is that special someone who firmly holds your hand at all times and stays by you through smiles and cries. Such a true companion indeed deserves the best…appreciate your sweetheart by spending a fabulous Valentine Vacation in Buenos Aires, which is better known as "The Pearl" of South America. The capital of the Republic of Argentina and its largest city, the fascinating city of Buenos Aires is the right destination for excellent shopping and unparalleled entertainment. While the cardinal shopping boulevards like Avenida Santa Fe, Avenida Cabildo in Belgrano and Avenida Corrientes downtown will captivate you, the theater, ballet, cinemas, comedy shows and tango performances will excite you.

• La Boca with its well known walkway, the Caminito is a major attraction of the city, as it is considered to be the originating point of tango, the sprightly dance which characterizes the essence of the people of Buenos Aires. This erstwhile shipyard still serves as the platform for tango dance shows and exhibitions of works of art.
  
• Visit the stylish neighborhood of Recoleta which is replete with cafes, restaurants, galleries and boutiques, and transforms itself into a fair on Saturdays and Sundays.
  

• The oldest neighborhood of Buenos Aires is San Telmo which is marked for its cobblestone streets, cafes, boutique shops and performing dancers and artists, all of which impart an artistic colour to this area.
  
• Palermo Viejo with its plush gardens and a zoo is another popular neighborhood which is the ideal location for picnics during daytime and long rambles in the evening.
  
• Even the neighborhood of Puerto Madero has a dual identity, serving as a significant commercial centre by day, and morphing into a fashionable venue with high-priced restaurants and clubs at night.
  
• Inspect Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, the renowned art museum of the city which houses the cardinal creations of the European artists from the pre- Renaissance period to the present day. Interestingly, it also exhibits a comprehensive assemblage of Argentine paintings and sculptures belonging to the 19th and 20th century.
  
• Inaugurated in 2001, the mission of Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires is to boost contemporary Latin American art. It should be noted that this cultural center is not commercially motivated and it only aims at boosting the present generation of Latin American artists.
  
• A mile long stretch of Calle Florida is noted for its leather, gem and fur shops as well as the early 20th century princely edifices that adorn it.
  
• Enjoy freshly brewed coffee in Cafe Tortoni, the oldest cafe of Argentine as you marvel at the energy that a tango performance entails in its hind room.

Buenos Aires has many more allurements in store like:

• Estancia Los Dos Hermanos, the well known horseback riding stable
• The government building of Casa Rosada.
• The vibrant Sunday fair of Plaza Dorrego.
• Museo Historico Nacional which narrates the history of Argentina through paintings and visual representations.
• The political hub of Plaza de Mayo.
• Esquina Carlos Gardel, the club which is designed in the 1940 dash and is celebrated for its sumptuous dinner accompanied with energetic tango shows.
