Compare locations, formats and times before choosing a tango show in Capital Federal. A dinner-and-show ticket requires more time than a show alone. Classes and milongas offer another way to experience the dance.
Choose the format first
Compare show-only tickets with dinner-and-show packages. Check admission times, the stated duration, the drinks included in each option and whether tables are shared. Discuss any dietary requirements directly with the venue before booking.
El Viejo Almacén is in the city's historic southern area, while Tango Porteño is downtown, near the Obelisco. Rojo Tango takes place at El Cabaret in the Faena hotel, in Puerto Madero. Consider your whole evening when choosing, including the journey from your accommodation.
Some packages may include pickup. Ask for written details of the coverage area, meeting point, waiting times and return trip. If you book transport separately, make sure the schedule allows you to arrive before the performance begins.
A show offers a staged performance to watch. A class teaches you to dance, while a milonga is a social dance gathering. The city's tourism directory lists milongas and their programs. On your first visit, choose the experience according to what you would like to do, watch or dance.
