Explore local milongas: Beyond hostel performances, seek out traditional tango halls in neighborhoods like San Telmo or Abasto for an authentic experience. Many offer beginner lessons.

Check hostel event boards: Hostels often post schedules for their own live music events or local recommendations. Don't miss out on what's happening right where you're staying.

Use public transport: Buenos Aires has an extensive and affordable public transport system. Get a SUBE card for easy access to buses and the metro, especially when heading to music venues.
