Christmas is more original and fun in the sun. Buenos Aires sounds like the perfect place to enjoy holidays season wearing a T-shirt or a sleeveless dress. You will be spoilt to choice among 100 parcs, each as stunning as the next to walk in and to watch hummingbirds flying.


You might be surprise by local Christmas traditions : Buenos Aires' people may offer you pink panties as a gift for Christmas Eve, and all-in-white-dressed people may go outside to throw paper sheets up : those stunning traditions are said to bring peace and luck.

Fireworks and Tango dancers

To dive deeper in the local culture, here are the three well-known Tango Houses : Madero Tango, Esquina Carlos Gardel and Senor Tango. Book the holiday's show to admire the most famous dancers and to put your entire body into resonance vibrations. If you want to dance after the show, you have to head up to the lively street, Calle Corrientes. Campo Argentino de Polo is a must-go for sport fans.


Luxe Magazine advice you watch Christmas fireworks (on December 24th and December 31st) in Puerto Madero. A key bar to have a drink is Floreria Atlantico, which was awarded third-best bar in the world in last October (50 Best Awards) : cocktails have been Buenos Aires' specialty for long.

Alvear Icon Hotel is one of the nicest places to stay : its spa and rooftop swimming pool are idyllicaly-designed to chill on the morning after New Year's party.
