What to do this week in Buenos Aires

The week kicks off with a day that deserves a proper tribute: this Monday is Pizza Maker’s Day, and we suggest celebrating it with your trusted local spot. At Copetín, the retro bar in Villa Devoto, Germán Benito—part of the project since day one—will be waiting with some of his signature pizzas, including the Neapolitan-style classic.

Germán puts a lot of love into his craft. For him, kneading and baking are everything. His personal favorite? Ham and roasted red pepper—a true classic that perfectly captures Copetín’s spirit: neighborhood bar, great pizza, no-frills pleasure.

The tip: You can book a table via WhatsApp at +54 9 11 2351-3952, or just drop by.

Where: Fernández de Enciso 4370, Villa Devoto.

The year started strong at Microteatro, and today we’re recommending one of its standout shows: “Turrón Season.” A story where drama mixes with boleros, anesthesia and a plot as absurd as it is irresistible. A toothache, a racing heart and a stage on fire make this an intense, funny and spicy experience.

Bruno arrives at the dentist because of a treacherous turrón (nougat), only to meet Mauro—dentist by day, dancer at heart. Between injections and songs, the big question arises: professional ethics or giving in to passion? Written by Laura Eva Avelluto, starring Jesús Barrios and Juani Dericia, directed by María Colloca. Performances on Tuesdays and Sundays at 10:55pm, 11:25pm, 11:55pm and 12:25am.

The tip: Tickets are available via the link.

Where: Serrano 1139.

If you’re staying in the city, Wednesdays come with a can’t-miss plan. Afters BA turns after-office hours into a true Buenos Aires ritual: live music, open air and that “I’m done for the day but staying a bit longer” vibe. From 6pm to 10pm, different spots around the city become meeting points to relax, chat and enjoy summer—completely free.

Selvaggio arrives in San Isidro with a different, laid-back and tempting concept inspired by founder Tomás Molina’s experiences in the US. Here, you’re in charge: self-service cheeses, cold cuts and cured meats, paired with wines designed for each match. Simple, delicious and effortless, in a modern, warm space full of good energy.

The venue invites you to stay awhile: couches, intimate tables, group areas, fire pits, greenery and a huge patio that steals the show. At the back, the wine cellar—the venue’s hidden gem—features local and imported labels and also hosts events, tastings and special experiences.

The tip: Open Tuesday to Sunday, 6pm–12am; Fridays and Saturdays until 2am.

Where: Av. Fondo de la Legua 59, San Isidro.

A story that time couldn’t erase: from this Wednesday through next Monday, “Beyond Oblivion: Recovered Film Week (MADO)” returns to MALBA. This cycle restores and screens forgotten—and sometimes imperfect—films, turning the theater into a space where past and present meet, inviting us to rediscover cinematic gems from around the world that nearly vanished.

From restored classics to rare finds rescued by archivists and cinematheques determined to preserve memory. In its second edition, MADO features films spanning different eras and geographies, celebrating the importance of preserving history through images and sound.

The tip: Full program and tickets available via the links.

Where: Av. Pres. Figueroa Alcorta 3415.

Luciano Rosso returns to Buenos Aires with “Apocalipsync,” his explosive, intimate and completely one-of-a-kind solo show. After touring more than 30 countries with “Un Poyo Rojo,” the performer takes the stage alone for a delirious yet deeply human experience. Acclaimed across Europe and major festivals like Avignon, the show arrives this summer with just six exclusive performances—every Wednesday in January and February at the Picasso Theatre, Paseo La Plaza.

Born during the pandemic, “Apocalipsync” is a rollercoaster of humor, creativity and emotion, portraying isolation, loneliness and everyday madness through an absurdly brilliant lens. Rosso embodies over 40 characters, blending dance, clowning, contortion and his signature move: lip-sync.

The tip: Tickets available on Plateanet.

Where: Av. Corrientes 1660.

This time of year wouldn’t be complete without something for kids. If you’re spending time with them, we suggest visiting Planeta Vida, a new immersive adventure at Temaikèn that puts you on a mission to protect the Earth. Fantasy, technology and emotion come together in a 360°, 5D experience with Ultra 12K projections that take you across the planet, revealing both its beauty and fragility.

From the moment you arrive, the experience begins: immersive scenery, surround sound and special effects turn visitors into protagonists—planet guardians who learn that every action matters.

The tip: During January and February, the biopark is open daily from 10am to 7pm. Tickets available via the link.

Where: Provincial Route 25, 1 km from Panamericana Highway (Escobar–Campana branch), Belén de Escobar.

Buenos Aires summer is also about books, exhibitions and places to pause, escape the heat and dive into good stories. This plan invites you to browse a city library, pick that book you’ve been meaning to read and enjoy the first pages with a coffee in hand.

In Recoleta, there’s a spot where all of this comes together: Ricardo Güiraldes Library, a true hidden gem. Not only for its architecture—a mansion built in 1921—but also for its collection of over 14,000 titles. You can settle into the Reading Room or head to Clorindo, the café tucked away at the back.

The tip: City libraries are open Monday to Friday, mornings and afternoons.

Where: Talcahuano 1261.

January kicks off the season of Nómade Cupido experiences, and this Friday’s edition takes place on a Palermo rooftop. From 7pm, expect live music without intermediaries, great vibes and the perfect excuse to meet new people—or simply enjoy a different kind of night with friends under the stars.

In January, Buenos Aires’ heritage doesn’t take a break. The city stays active with plans that look at the past through a contemporary lens: from climbing the Monumental Tower (free on Wednesdays) to enjoying heritage music outdoors at the Colonial Courtyard of the Casa del Virrey Liniers. There are also talks and gatherings at La Cisterna Archaeological Site, where history, science and cultural diversity intersect to tell lesser-known—and far more interesting—stories of the city.

The Historic Center rounds out the plan with guided tours and urban walks that invite you to rediscover classic neighborhoods like Recoleta, Congreso, Parque Lezama, Caballito and Belgrano. Squares, museums and landmark buildings become the perfect excuse to stroll the city at an unhurried pace and reconnect with its stories.

The tip: All activities are free.

Where: Various locations across the city.
