The city of Buenos Aires, one of the most important Latin American cities, is a great cosmopolitan and many-sided metropolis. It is the capital of the Argentine Republic and the vital bond of the nation. This city astonishes the tourist with its evident universal influence.

The elegance of Europe and the spirit of South America live side by side in Buenos Aires. Founded by immigrants along the shores of the Rio de la Plata, Buenos Aires built its identity on Spanish, Italian, and French influences. Take a walk through neighborhoods like Recoleta and Belgrano, for example, and you'll be convinced you're still in the Old World. Even Porteños, as residents of Buenos Aires are called, characterize themselves as more European than South American.

Its numberless museums, exhibition and conference centres, art galleries, cinemas and theatres with national and international shows of high quality, are witnesses of its important cultural life.

Its nightlife is quite varied and extends up to the early hours. Discos, restaurants, cafeterias and many other attractions for all tastes are spread all around the city offering the tourist a large number of options.
