Top Reasons to Go

1. Plaza de Mayo: The plaza has been the site of many important events throughout the nation's history. Today, it is an important site for ceremonies and mass protests.

2. Museo de Arte de Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires. MALBA is one of the cornerstones of the city's cultural life, with a memorable collection of 19th- and 20th-century Latin American Art.

3. Parque Tres de Febrero: Two hundred acres of lawns, copses, lakes, and trails make up this enchanting park, which also encompasses a crazy-quilt of smaller parks known as Los Bosques de Palermo.

4. Museo Evita: The exhibits here convey the extraordinary depth and pageantry (and the controversy) of the life of Eva Duarte de Peron, one of the most important figures in Argentine history.

5. Plaza Dorrego: Stately trees shade outdoor tables in the city's second-oldest square. The surrounding architecture provides an overview of the many historical influences that have shaped the city's history.
