Buenos Aires, Buenos
Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital, is a city where the pulse of Latin American culture intertwines harmoniously with the elegance of European architecture. Every area has something different to offer. Art-lovers will have plenty to enjoy at the world-class museums and theatres, shoppers will splurge at the numerous markets selling everything from antiques to leather, fans of architecture can admire the art nouveau, art deco and neoclassical style buildings that dominate the different neighbourhoods, foodies will delight at the traditional asado and fusion restaurants.
Buenos Aires thrives on contrasts, blending the ancient with the modern, the Latin with the European, to craft a vibrant urban panorama. It is above all, however, a city that begs to be walked, and wise travellers will take their time exploring broad avenues and narrow alleyways alike, taking in all they have to offer. Like most great cities, Buenos Aires is best experienced at night. Not only is it a city that never sleeps, but it is also a place where the fun is just getting started after midnight.
