Introducing Buenos Aires

Sexy, alive and supremely confident, this beautiful city gets under your skin. Like Europe with a melancholic twist, Buenos Aires is unforgettable.

Built by Europeans, this vibrant city overflows with energy and brims with attractive residents called porteños. The food is fresh and innovative, the shopping ranges from designer labels to street hawkers, and nightlife will keep you swinging all night long. Don’t miss attending a superpassionate fútbol (soccer) game, snatching a quick tango lesson or downing a juicy steak – it’s all top-drawer here. And despite a wobbly economy and pesky inflation (hey, it makes things exciting and we’re all used to it by now), BA is still surprisingly affordable for anyone with hard currency.
