Welcome to Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina. One of the most vibrant and liveliest places in South America. Buenos Aires displays a european touch with a typical southamerican feel that combined produce a unique cultural and social experience.
From the colonial and historical buildings and streets of San Telmo, the old colorful houses in La Boca or the sophisticated and aristhocratic "maisons" of Recoleta, the city is full of life and changing identities.
Don´t miss out: a sunny saturday in the slopes of Plaza Francia, Recoleta, one of the biggest and most colorful street markets in town.
Tigre, located in the outskirts of Buenos Aires (40 kms away by train) will make you feel like in paradise, but only 1 hour out of the city. The delta and its green islands are a must for all nature lovers.
Sundays are made to walk through San Telmo: the antique and handicrafts markets will surprise you with affordable prices and high-quality items rare to find.
Centro is a historical and commercial area, displaying some of the most beautiful old buildings. Avenida de Mayo, linking the Plaza de Mayo and the Congreso, is an example of architecture and style.
Palermo, the trendy and arty neighbourhood of the city, should be visited at night, although a walk through these streets in daytime may invite you to shop at some of the most stylish design-clothing stores you´ll see in South America. The ethnic restaurants, bars and clubs make Palermo a must if you want to feel the experience of partying in BA.
