Stunning architecture, a cosmopolitan atmosphere, the latest fashions and trends, intimate sidewalk cafes, a prized destination for savvy world travelers: it’s no wonder that Buenos Aires is often called “the South American Paris”. It is the most European city on the western shores of the Atlantic. The Argentinian capital is characterized by its wide boulevards and Haussmann architecture, meaning an architectural copy of Paris, France, is stunningly breath-taking! A city of approximately 3 million, with proud Italian and Spanish heritages.
There is much to explore in Buenos Aires: whether you love history and architecture, dance, music or fine shopping, this extraordinary city promises to deliver beauty on every corner!
