WHY "AntiTouR"?? Because it´s a different way to see the city, in a tour.. but still not a conventional tour, is private and unique, I show you the city the way I live it, through my eyes... My favourite spots, but not leaving aside Buenos Aires Highlights. Things you must see, and some you shouldn´t see in a normal tour...
I´m a porteña, and I´ve lived here all of my life, I studied art restoration so my view is focused to art and architecture, which I think Buenos Aires has lots to show, believe me...
What else? just try it. I´m open to suggestions!

You woke up and it was raining?

What to do on a rainy day in Buenos Aires? well, I think that the easiest answer would be, "go to the movies"... (movies are spoken in their original language and subtitled) But I dont think is the best idea... you should better use all your time in Buenos Aires, and more even if you are only for a few days around. So here is a list of activities:

Visit a Museum, depending on the day of the week, you can visit: 1) MALBA, (Wednesday to Monday opened.) this is the Museum of Latin American Art, and amazing collection, and what´s more interesting is that is a private collection hosted in an amazing architecture. 2) MNBA, is opened from Tuesday to Sunday, is a free entrance Museum, and hosts a great collection of national art and also European art, and private collections that were donated of furniture, indigenous art, and much more. 3) MUSEO DE ARTE DECORATIVO, is the National Museum of Decorative Arts, this museum is located in Libertador Ave 1902, an example of French eclectic architecture of the early 1900´s, it was built by a French architect, originally the house of Alvear-Errázuriz family. Everything was brought from Europe, the floors, the furniture inside, every detail, a place definitely to enjoy the view. It also has a beautiful cafe, where you can sit and just relax.

But if Museums are not your type of place, do something different, try dancing, go to a "Milonga"! and learn to dance some tango, LA IDEAL, give tango lessons early in the afternoon, not only at night. It´s a classic "confiteria" and a perfect atmosphere to start with lessons, but if you just want to watch, you are welcome too. Adress: Suipacha 380.

Buenos Aires is full or interesting architecture, you can use a rainy day to explore a bit more deeply, PALACIO BAROLO is called the office building placed on Avenida de Mayo 1370, the whole biulding is a homage to Dante Alighieri´s Divine Comedy. Is a real jewel of the city, built around 1924. You can have a guided visit and enjoy the magnificents views from the top of the building.

But if these tips arent enough, so just stay home and have a nice SIESTA, and prepare for the night! nobody cares if outside is still raining.
