Christmas Extravaganza in Buenos Aires

The Christmas is the most popular time to visit Buenos Aires, as many tourists want to escape the cold winter in the northern hemisphere and travel to the Argentine capital to celebrate the holidays in the city’s warm summer temperatures. Meanwhile, most locals flock to Mar del Plata or to the Uruguayan coast, meaning the city of Buenos Aires is wonderfully calm and free for you to explore.

On Christmas Eve you will find that transport is limited, and that many restaurants require previous booking, therefore one recommended activity for travelers is to attend an authentic, fun-filled Christmas celebration extravaganza in one of the traditional tango houses in Buenos Aires. The tango houses put on an extra special night, accompanied by the best Argentine music and food in an environment suitable for the whole family.

As Christmas in Argentina is principally a family occasion, many restaurants in Buenos Aires are closed on Christmas Eve and most porteños who stay in the city have dinner at home with their close family members and friends. Some of the tango houses open their doors to provide a special Tango Christmas show that offers an excellent quality/price solution for travelers looking for an unforgettable evening. If a tango show is on your list of things to do in Buenos Aires, we recommend you book it for Christmas Eve, as you get a lot more for your money; a delicious three course meal, tango show, transfer to and from your hotel, plus many more great surprises!
