La Ventana Tango Show
Balcarce 425, San Telmo, Buenos Aires, The Pampas, C1064 AAI
Nowhere captures the sultry and sexy beauty of Argentinian tango quite like La Ventana, one of Argentina’s most famous tango halls. In La Ventana’s intimate setting, guests can enjoy an evening of Argentine tango and live music, with more than 30 performers on stage.
The basics
Set inside a well-preserved conventillo, or historic tenement building, La Ventana has entertained audiences since 1982. More than just a tango show, performances here feature a demonstration of traditional gaucho life in the pampas and a tribute to Eva Perón. To soak up even more of the Argentine flavor, opt for a show with a 3-course dinner and wine. Packages that include admission, dinner, and round-trip transportation from your Buenos Aires hotel promise a well-rounded and hassle-free experience.

How to get there
La Ventana is located in San Telmo, the city’s oldest neighborhood, within walking distance of many hotels and attractions, including the Casa Rosada. Bolivar station station, on Line E on the Buenos Aires Underground, and Plaza de Mayo station on Line A are both less than a 10-minute walk away.
