Experience tango, from milongas to the street

Tango was born in Buenos Aires, and it's woven into the city's soul. You can experience it at every budget: a polished dinner-and-tango show is the splurge option, beautiful but pricey, while the authentic, affordable way is to visit a milonga (a social dance hall), where locals dance for the price of a drink and you can watch or join in. Best of all, it's often free: catch street tango in the squares of San Telmo and the lanes of La Boca, and many hostels and the Sunday San Telmo market offer free lessons. We'll explain the options, from free street tango to milongas, and how to enjoy each.
