Experience Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is an intoxicating combination of personalities – at once a bustling metropolis yet with hidden tree-lined barrios, the marriage of European sophistication with a laid-back Latino flair, a city that thrums with activity during the day and parties long into the night. Opportunities for tours and sightseeing are abundant, as are comfortable transfers to get you from place to place. In the birthplace of tango, tango shows are plentiful – or go to one of the many tango schools to learn some moves. Opera enthusiasts should go to the world famous Teatro Colon for its unparalleled acoustics and frescoed ceilings. Art lovers will have plenty to feast their eyes on at the MALBA, dedicated to contemporary Latin American art, or the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes with well-known international works. For gourmet food in Argentina, go to the many parrilla steakhouses featuring prime argentine beef, or your local Italian restaurant (Argentina has a long history of Italian immigration) for fresh pastas made in-house. Or try dulce de leche, the national dessert, available sandwiched in cookies or in ice cream at any of the city´s plentiful heladerias. For a quick day trip outside the city, tour the sleepy river delta at el Tigre – with more than 5,000 square miles of islands divided by canals and tributaries of the Paraná and Uruguay rivers, this retreat once reserved for Buenos Aires' elite is now open to anyone in search of rowing, fishing, boating, or relaxation in the sun. There are many things to do in Buenos Aires, and the city is waiting to welcome you; travel to Buenos Aires, and you just might never want to go back!
