Enjoy world-class opera in Buenos Aires
Teatro Colón
Considered by many to be the most beautiful opera house in the world, Teatro Colón is the heartbeat of the city’s art scene. Housed in a splendid eclectic building from the turn of the 20th century, the venue stages operas from Argentine and international performers. The interior of the edifice is as impressive as its exterior, which is why you should both tour it and attend it as a spectator.
National Museum of Fine Arts
Buenos Aires is home to countless high-quality art museums, but the National Museum of Fine Arts is in a category of its own. Housed in a former pump house and established in 1896, the gallery displays a rich collection of art from many renowned artists, including Picasso, van Gogh, Antonio Berni, Eduardo Sívori, and more.
The Argentine capital has plenty to offer to its visitors, from century-old landmarks and delicious cuisine to an art scene that combines styles from the old and new worlds.
