Many know that tango is considered one of the main culture symbols of Buenos Aires, but not all travelers are aware of the best way to get acquainted with this dance. Everyone who is fond of dancing in general and of tango, in particular, is recommended to visit Plaza Dorrego.

Tables of local cafes are installed in the open air, so visitors can listen to live music and watch talented dancers – this is an excellent place to spend an evening in an unusual setting.
One of the most unusual and little-known landmarks of Buenos Aires is located right behind your feet. This is the blue metro line (A) that connects Plaza di Mayo and Primera Junta .
