5 things to do while in Buenos Aires
Written by Christian Haugen on September 7, 2009 – 9:56 am -You might have noticed that I have developed a special fondness for Buenos Aires. This is no understatement as this city seriously rocks! Take a look at my top five things to do while in Buenos Aires below:
1.Visiting La Recoleta Cemetary
La Recoleta cemetary is the famous cemetary in the exclusive area of Recoleta. It is a ghostly place with the graveyards being extremely ornamental and decorative compared to graveyards in Norway. Each grave is more like a crypt with staircases leading down to the burial sites underneath the ground. The main reason why so many tourist flock here is to have a look at Eva Perons grave although I think that one was very overrated. I do think that you should go here just to walk along the countless rows of creepy graves, it’s a great spot for any photographer!

It’s no secret that most of the dining experiences Buenos Aires has to offer comes from the traditions and recipes that the immigrants brought with them. It is exactly this mix of traditional food mixed with the influence of the Argentinian Pampa and the Portenos love for a good bottle of wine that has catapulted Buenos Aires into the global dining elite. As we had been starved on rice and beans all through central america it was time for a change of diet and it was time for me to get thoroughly introduced to the best steaks in the world, period!
