Buenos Aires is, in a certain way, a metaphor for Argentina. Its streets and surroundings are home to over half of the country's population and represent its political, economic and cultural heart.

Even though the city has its own particular identity, it's open to the world architecture, culture and art; it's cosmopolitan and controversial, dynamic and yet traditional, historic and avant-gardist.

BA is also plenty of tourist attractions: monuments, churches, museums, art galleries and theaters; squares, parks and gardens; modern shopping malls and antique fairs; budget to first-class hotels; regional restaurants and international cuisine; besides the ever-present fascination of tango.

Just let yourself be charmed by the Buenos Aires lifestyle and be prepared for a journey of endless discoveries.
