Located in the Boca neighborhood, this football stadium is home to the legendary team Boca Juniors…read more The stadium is also known as La Bombonera because it resembles a chocolate box. Even if you do not attend a game here, I recommend doing the tour if you're a football fan. They have two options. A visit to just the museum for tourists is about 15 US dollars. The price is a little cheaper for local residents. The museum is full of memorabilia from the team's history like trophies, jerseys and photos. You will learn about the history of the team as well the surrounding neighborhood. The second option is the museum plus a stadium tour. With this, a tour guide will take you around the stadium and give you a bit more history about the team. I'd recommend this option which is about 25 US dollars. These tours are very popular and the line to get in can get long, so I suggest getting there early in the day.

The excitement and energy of seeing a CABJ Football match live was like nothing else... a must if…read moreyou're visiting Buenos Aires. Look at my videos and photos; the experience was spectacular. Being part of the crowd was all-consuming and the Boca Juniors won the game during injury time. You couldn't hope for anything more! Now some notes on tourists visiting the stadium: Don't bring anything with you - no bags (including purses), no valuables, nothing except your phone. Dress down and dress comfortable - you'll probably stand the entire time so wear comfortable shoes. Everyone wears CABJ gear (Blue and Yellow) so don't wear River Plate colors (Red and White). There will be 4 security checkpoints when you enter. You will present your ID and your ticket to scan. They will pat you down and you can't have anything in your pockets - this is where having a bag with you would make things complex. Getting to the entrance is a bit of a labyrinth so follow the crowd or, better yet, go with a tour. A tour will allow you to enjoy the experience and not try to figure it out as you go along. This will also alleviate any issues with counterfeit tickets. The waiting list for a ticket is around 10-years as there are only season ticket holders so, not matter what, you're getting a scalped ticket. My ticket was 2900 Argentinian Pesos (about $13) but you will spend at least 10x that price on your scalped ticket, so buy it from a reputable place and I'd be wary of anyone trying to sell you the ticket for much less than 10x because it's probably too good to be true. There is zero alcohol sold in the stadium and the food looked pretty meh - some kind of meat in bread wrapped in aluminum foil - so eat before and drink before. The bathrooms are also a bit meh, but that's to be expected in any stadium. You're there for the excitement, not the food or the facilities. When you're there, the crowd is passionate and they'll want you to participate but you probably won't be able to because there are several different songs and chants, not just one to memorize. But it doesn't matter. Scream your loudest! Have fun! This was my favorite thing that we did in Buenos Aires!!

Visually frightening at first, but the food, the experience us quite good despite the simplistic…read moreconcept. It is is one of those places which does not look appealing but ends up being excellent. Sort of a "lads get together" with beer tons of meat burgers fries which is obvious due to the proximity of the stadium. Would definitely go again!

This is one of the coolest artist fairs I've ever been to! It literally goes on and on and on and…read moreon... Seriously- there's something for everyone here. It seems to happen on Saturdays and Sundays, and is run by the city. There's some order to this- people seem to have assigned booths, that are rented to them by the City of Buenos Aires. There's a food court in the middle of the artist fair, along with street performers. As you meander through the artists' booths, it feels safe. I'd keep an eye out for pick pockets anyhow, but there was a healthy police presence and vendors don't want to see anything bad happen to all the visitors. The range in artwork is diverse! It's not like it's all the same stuff- it's all very unique, and it's the actual artists there showing off their stuff. Everything is negotiable. There's restrooms in the restaurants off the main street here. Feel free to have a bottle of malbec or a quillmes beer, ain't nobody stopping you! Why not?

Have a quilmes beer and a choripan in the street where you will see the old couple dancing tango. Appreciates lots of artisans selling their crafts. I'm not sure about the antiquities that are sold them, but some of them are interesting. Enjoy a little tango on the park, is free just til the dancer and remember a tango/milonga show can cost $$$$. You will spend almost an entire day here, therefore, be patient and enjoy!
