Centro Cultural Borges

Buenos Aires


This excellent cultural center has many offerings, including reasonably priced tango shows several times per week: Bien de Tango, on Friday and Saturday nights at 8pm, is especially good and comparable to other tango shows that are triple the cost. Check the cultural center website or stop in beforehand to see what’s on.
