Sultry tango, decadent cuisine, a rich late-night café culture, and feisty Latinos - Buenos Aires has all of the ingredients for romance, making the city a major destination for those looking for romantic things to do. Whether you want active or laid-back, luxury or low-key, these activities will surely inspire some hand holding. Begin with a tango class with that special someone (or go solo and hope for a stunning partner) at La Ideal, a classic confitería, or café, in downtown Buenos Aires. Once you've got a few steps down a the pre-milonga lessons, sit back and sip a glass of red at a dim corner table while the regular tango dancers filter into the gorgeous faded-glory ballroom from the busy city streets and the live orchestra sets up onstage, preparing for a long night of melancholy music and slow, sultry footwork ahead. Tango can certainly be a spectator activity; even if dancing isn't your thing, you can still soak up one of the richest parts of Argentinean culture at La Ideal. Find love in unexpected places, such as the rooftop terrace of the Palacio Barolo. Take the elevator to the top floor and walk up one more flight of stairs to access the terrace, where the spectacular views of Avenida de Mayo and Plaza Congreso offer a spectacular backdrop for intimate moments. The Museo Evita, further afield in Palermo, has a gorgeous café with a quiet, flowered patio - a corner table for wiling away the afternoon may be just what you and that special someone seek. Take your romance to the streets in the crumbling, charming neighborhood of San Telmo, where a corner café or quiet park bench lures lovers to slow down and enjoy the atmosphere. Or stroll down a bit to soak in the peaceful waterfront in Puerto Madero.
