Buenos Aires Argentina Tours - The history of Argentina and Buenos Aires is enshrined in the various museums located in the city. When you visit the city, think of the fact that it was among the wealthiest cities worldwide until the 20th century when war, revolution and economic problems ravaged the city’s resources.
If you see Buenos Aires now, you wouldn’t believe how it once aspired to be a superpower in the league of the United States. You will see how the Spanish influenced the Portenos just seeing La Boca.
Museo Historico Nacional is well worth a short visit if only to relish the history behind the 2010 Bicentennial celebration of the city. The Eva Peron Museum is another place that you should not miss for a glimpse of the real world of the world-famous Evita. See her clothes, shoes and other personal and political effects.

Casa Rosada and the Presidential Museum
