Tomorrow, April Thursday 21st, the Holy Week begins around the world. This catholic religious celebration is massive in Buenos Aires (as well as the Pesaj or Jewish Easter, which are also bring celebrated these days), and its perfect to enjoy our city. Many Porteños use this extended weekend to go on vacations, configuring a less crowded city. Specialists calculate over 300 thousand tourists visiting us this Holy Week.
