If you are planning a trip, why not spend some time in Buenos Aires, Argentina? It's an incredible place with a population of almost three million and plenty to do.
About Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is one of the largest cities in Latin America and the capital of Argentina. One of the most populated cities in the world, Buenos Aires covers an area of 203km2. Popular for many reasons, you will want to spend some time visiting the cultural attractions, events, fine restaurants and nightclubs that form a thriving nightlife.
The city is split into 48 different neighbourhoods called 'barrios'. You will find each has its own distinct personality and it won't take you long to find a few favourites. Check out a few of these notable ones:
Recoleta is one of the most expensive and upper-class parts of the city. Known for top quality restaurants and its French architecture, it's a perfect place for a fine dining experience or to visit the famous Recoleta Cemetery.
La Boca is an incredibly vibrant and colourful part of the city. Many tourists find themselves telling friends and family back home all about its incredible personality and its rich urban scenery.
Tribunales is ideal if you're interested in seeing theatre and other live performances. See the prestigious Colon Theatre on Libertad Street.
Getting around the city is easy enough thanks to a finely tuned public transport system, but you might want to avoid the underground metro during rush hour if you want to keep your bearings. The 'Subte' (underground) network isn't the largest but it should get you to most of the attractions that you're interested in seeing. A substantial number of bus routes will cover your travels to anywhere else and is the primary form of transport.
Spend a week exploring Buenos Aires, one of the most vibrant and beautiful cities in the world. Meet new people, enjoy new experiences and make yourself at home on holiday in South America.
