Holidays And Fiestas

August is the perfect time to visit if you want to experience Argentina's famous dance style; the Tango World Championships offers shows, classes, lectures and exhibitions for the last two weeks of the month.

If you didn't quite make it to Rio, then check out Carnaval in January/February or, for something a little surreal, head over to Chinatown in Belgrano for the Chinese New Year festivities.

For film lovers, the International Festival of Independent cinema takes place in March, and September is the month for art, when over a hundred galleries and institutions open their doors to the public for La Semana de Arte.
