Enjoying the pleasures of Buenos Aires is one of the favorite activities of Brazilian tourists, who are used to disembarking in the Argentine capital to visit attractions such as tango shows, good restaurants, the Obelisk, the picturesque streets of La Boca, San Telmo, Palermo and Recoleta , among other unmissable requests.
But anyone who thinks they have already seen everything this wonderful city has to offer is mistaken. Buenos Aires also holds some hidden treasures, which become even more attractive to the public in Brazil with the affordable tickets offered by Flybondi, the first low cost airline to Argentina and Brazil, leaving from São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Florianópolis, the from R$425.
See below 5 unmissable tips for alternative tours in Buenos Aires:
1. Cultural pearls
Small and cozy bookstores are some of the charms of this city. In the Villa Crespo neighborhood, for example, there is Punc (Dr. Luis Beláustegui 393), dedicated to comics, comics and children's books. In the same region, Guantes de Mimbre y Luz (Serrano 916) offers rare copies, books from independent publishers and boxes with free works. In Palermo, Libros del Pasaje (Thames 1762) is charming and also has an attractive bar in the back, as does the neighboring Alamut Libros (JL Borges 1985), which is also a wine cellar.
2. Eating with the locals
How about leaving the Puerto Madero circuit and the trendiest restaurants and eating in the places frequented by Buenos Aires on a daily basis? Again in Villa Crespo, between Humboldt and Murillo streets, is the Club Atlético Atlanta stadium, which has a restaurant with affordable prices and a neighborhood atmosphere. The Yeite bar (Humboldt 298) offers fresh, homemade lunch dishes and jaw-dropping sweets. Another great option for the day is Hasta la Masa (Loyola 642), located in an old house and with food that tastes like mom!
3. Beer Tour
The Argentine capital doesn't live on wine alone! Beer lovers can also enjoy themselves here. We started the tour at El club de la birra, a brewery in Caballito that has more than 20 different styles of craft beers from the best producers in the country. You can accompany them with roast ribs, burgers and wraps.
The second stop is Desarmadero, a brewery in Palermo with 23 taps to try. We stopped in Puerto Madero to enter Peñón del Águila. This is a brewery of Córdoba origin that has 22 styles of craft beer, ranging from classic German to sour, hoppy and fruity. The 3 most requested are: IPA Beta, Oktoberfest and Kölsch.
And if you still want to continue drinking beer, we recommend that you stop by BierLife, a brewery decorated as if it were a tenement house in the San Telmo neighborhood. It has more than 40 craft beer taps and a wide variety of incredible food and desserts, such as Birramisú ice cream and Imperial Stout (don't leave without trying them!).
4. Outdoor murals
Museums aren't the only places to see art these days. The streets and walls of cities have been transformed into open-air galleries, where it is possible to ire some spectacular works. Like the mural dedicated to Frida Kahlo, which is located in the heart of Palermo Viejo, at Avenida Dorrego, number 1735. The artist, Campos Jesses captured in this painting a modern Frida, in worn-out jeans and a t-shirt tied around her waist. An unmissable image. In the pleasant neighborhood of Coghlan, walking along Núñez, Estomba and Congreso streets, you can also see numerous murals designed by street artists.
5. Independent and live music
There is no shortage of good options in Buenos Aires to honor independent artists at affordable prices. The Club Atlético Fernández Fierro (Sánchez de Bustamante 764), for example, has a program with musicians, bands and orchestras from Thursday to Sunday.
The Club Cultural Matienzo (Pringles 1249) has cultural workshops, theater works, performances, poetry recitals, a radio, parties and a terrace for drinks and something to eat. Nearby are Vuela el Pez (Córdoba 4379) and Membrillo Cultural (Córdoba 4158), both with performances by emerging bands on the weekends.
It is also worth visiting Musicleta (Aguirre 489), an intimate environment with free live shows, El Quetzal (Guatemala 4516), a house covered in graffiti by renowned artists, and the mythical Konex Cultural City (Sarmiento 3131), where music festivals and the well-known percussion show La Bomba del Tiempo are organized, held every Monday.
