Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is without any doubt one of the most important, dynamic and extravagant capitals of South America; cosmopolitan, culturally rich and architecturally eclectic.
Each neighborhood shows the influence of the different groups of immigrants that populated Argentina towards the end of the XIX.
The visitor will come across parts of the city that resemble Paris, Madrid, London mixed with the local influence.

Buenos Aires is situated on the west bank of the tawny-colored Rio de la Plata and according to the latests figures accommodates over 11 million people. Despite its huge dimensions, It is a rather easy city to explore due to its layout consisting of a series of interlocking grids traversed by broad boulevards.
Furthermore, although the metropolitan area is divided into 46 distinct barrios (districts), the areas of principal interest (downtown, Recoleta, Palermo Chico, San Telmo, and La Boca) are more or less contiguous and easily navigated. Except in rush-hour traffic, no two points within these barrios should be more than a 30-minute cab ride apart.

The main street-level artery is the enormously wide Avenida 9 de Julio, which runs north-south and is punctuated at its center by the Obelisco, an obelisk constructed to celebrate the city's 400th anniversary in 1936.

At its northern end the Avenida 9 de Julio leads to the turn-of-the-century district of Recoleta, a Paris-like quarter of luxury and expensive apartments, good hotels and exclusive shops and boutiques.

Beyond Recoleta lies Palermo, a middle-class neighborhood that contains the National Polo Fields, a handsome racetrack, and Los Parques de Palermo; Buenos Aires' version of Central Park.

San Telmo, which is home to many antique shops, art galleries, and tanguerías, and La Boca, a working-class Italian barrio of brightly colored houses and lively cantinas, are south of downtown.

Numberless museums, art galleries, theatres and cinemas, offer a wide choice of cultural activities. One of the city's cultural highlights and on every visitors ‘have-to-see-list' is the famous Colòn Theatre.

Culinary Buenos Aires has everything to offer for those appreciating a good glass of the worlds best wines and a slice of the best imaginable beefs!
