Romance is everywhere in Buenos Aires.

#1 WATCH A TANGO SHOW
Tango is the romance of Argentina. This sensual dance which originates from Río de la Plata is so mesmerising that you could watch it for hours and not blink an eye.
A candlelit dinner while watching a tango show is one of the best memories we have of Buenos Aires. There are plenty to choose from but our favourite which we absolutely recommend is Rojo Tango.
The setting for this intimate experience is in the luxurious Faena hotel in Puerto Madero. The dinner includes a three course Argentinian meal with drinks followed by an unforgettable show.
Rojo Tango dinner and show starts from $298 per person.

#2 LEARN TO DANCE TANGO
Tango will captivate your heart!
And what better way to get up close and personal with your lover? If you enjoy watching tango, then learning to dance tango takes it to a whole new level. Gazing into your partner’s eyes, grasping his hands and allowing yourself to be guided by the tantalising music is one of the most sensual experiences one can have.
You will find many milongas (tango halls) offering courses for all levels in Buenos Aires. Our favourite was the Maldita Milonga in San Telmo. This traditional milonga has live concerts everyday from 11pm with classes just beforehand. Tuesday evening is Queer Tango night.
#3 PICNIC IN LA COSTANERA ECOLOGICAL RESERVE
This 350 hectares park is a real treat if you want to escape the city for a while with your loved one. The cool breeze from the Río de la Plata and the sound of birdsong makes it an idyllic place for romance.
We loved walking for hours in this beautiful ecological reserve, enjoying the wildlife and the many different species of plants.
The perfect spot to enjoy a romantic picnic is when you reach the banks of Río de la Plata. You can then spend the afternoon relaxing on the grass, walking or cycling through the reserve.

#4 HELICOPTER RIDE OVER BUENOS AIRES
This one’s a splurge but definitely worth every penny. It’s a one in a lifetime romantic experience.
Take your loved one on a helicopter ride and marvel at the immensity and beauty of Buenos Aires from high above. It’s also a really fun way to discover the city.
The helicopter takes you over Puerto Madero, North past Palermo towards Tigre, the Paraná Delta and back. They can also arrange a very romantic lunch in a cosy restaurant on the banks of the Paraná River.
Book your romantic helicopter ride now from $450 for two (including lunch).

#5 EVENING STROLL IN PUERTO MADERO
There is no finer spot for a romantic stroll than along the river bank of the recently revamped Puerto Madero neighbourhood. The old port of Buenos Aires is now a trendy hangout with lots of restaurants and bars.
The architectural highlight is the iconic Puente de las Mujeres (“Women’s Bridge”) – a pedestrian bridge meant to represent a couple dancing tango. The lit up river bank at night makes it the ideal place for a romantic walk.
