We've been there to see a show of tango and it's really worth it! It was a Friday night and first you visit the museum of tango. Then you can enjoy a nice show with also a very impressive singer! The place is little, so you can see perfectly the dancers who seem to love what they are doing.

Instead of paying close to $100 USD each for an over-the-top "Tango for Export" show, visit the Academy for an all-comers class taught by wonderful & patient English-speaking instructors. Only 15 Pesos (~$5 USD) per person got us a 90-minute lesson followed by a "Free Tango" session where experienced locals really strutted their stuff. The quality of their dancing was... More
