The weather has changed, and it’s perfect for a nice afternoon snack
It’s not so hot anymore, so a great plan for April might be to take a tour of some of the best afternoon tea spots in Buenos Aires to treat yourself to something sweet or a feast—whatever you want and whatever suits you best.

If you want to discover this play or many others and add some theater to your April nights, here are some of the best plays of 2025 in Buenos Aires.
