Things to See in Buenos Aires

One of Buenos Aires' prime tourist attractions, the Cementerio de la Recoleta sits in the plushest of neighborhoods, ritzy Recoleta. High walls surround this necropolis where, in death as in life, generations of Argentina's elite rest in ornate splendor.

No visit to La Boca is complete without visiting this slick museum and shrine to the Boca Juniors football club. A highlight is stepping inside a giant soccer ball, where a 360-degree movie screen transports you into a crowd-filled stadium - obviously not as good as the real thing, but close enough.

Saint or tyrant, this is museum is all about Argentina's adoration of Eva (Evita) Perón. It's a highly educational walking tour through her life, with nice touches such as a video montage set to tango electrónica - an unexpected break after admiring all her fabulous gowns.
