Buenos Aires is a vast, cosmopolitan city. At its heart is the Plaza de Mayo, famous for its beautifully preserved and grand 19th century mansions, including the presidential palace, the Casa Rosada. The Teatro Colon is the city’s opera house, built in 1908, and at the MALBA museum you can see splendid collections of Latin American artworks.
Arriving in Buenos Aires
Ezeiza is part of the huge city of Buenos Aires, and the location of the main airport serving the city. Book a flight to Ezeiza with Qatar Airways and you arrive in a vibrant, energetic and typically South American city with all the colour, noise and brashness that goes with this complex location.
Across Buenos Aires there are hundreds of sites to explore. The city is divided into Districts, so it’s best to plan your visit carefully so that you get the most from your trip. What you will find wherever you go in Buenos Aires and Ezeiza in particular is that the people are incredibly friendly and eager to show you the very best of their city.
Tourist attractions
Ezeiza is primarily the location of the airport and much of Buenos Aires industrial heartland, including newly developed areas for its growing high-tech industries. This attracts business travellers from all over the world, but if you want to see the old Buenos Aires then head into the city centre. The Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes is the country’s most important arts museum and has works of international significance in its galleries.
The Manzana de las Luces is Buenos Aires’ key centre for culture and learning, and is home to workshops and the fascinating tunnels and underground network of workshops that have been in use since the 18th century.
You cannot experience Buenos Aires without the Tango – the legendary dance invented in the city. The best place to see an authentic Tango (rather than one that has been adapted for the tourists) is at a ‘Milonga’. Head to the Salon Canning, El Beso, Porteño y Bailarin and the Maldita Milonga for the best dancers, or pick up a guide map called the TangoMap Guide to find one in the area near you.
Two hugely popular sports in Argentina are football and polo. Their two football teams, the Boca Juniors and the River Plate, are followed with real passion, and tickets to their matches (known as the "Super Clasico") are the hottest tickets in town. For horse lovers the polo matches held at the polo fields in Las Canitas, especially the major December tournament, are a must see.
