Aprašymas

Buenos Aires, Argentina. Tourism Guide. Elegant yet always bustling, Buenos Aires encapsulates the very essence of Argentina. South America's second largest city, Buenos Aires is the political, economic, and cultural capital of Argentina as well as the gateway to the rest of this large nation. Its compact tree-lined center is reminiscent of Paris with many charming corners where tidy high-rise apartments are interspersed with attractive 19th-century buildings. Most first-time visitors are surprised to find that this big city has managed to preserve its old traditions. Each of its 47 "barrios" boasts its own distinct character, and you'll never tire of exploring these delightful neighborhoods. Among the most popular are Palermo, La Recoleta, and Belgrano with their wide boulevards lined with palatial mansions, luxury high-rises, and large parks; and San Telmo and La Boca with their distinctively colorful artistic flair. In the downtown core, the Plaza de Mayo is the traditional focus of entertainment and activity, while Avenida Santa Fe is the city's most fashionable shopping area.
