Buenos Aires

For lovers of tango and movida

Can you imagine a sexier dance than tango? Although a holiday might not be enough to become a tanguero, you can enjoy the atmosphere of Buenos Aires' lively nightlife and trendy lifestyle.

Moreover, the current exchange rate of the Argentinian peso makes a holiday in Argentina affordable for most foreign travellers.

The capital of Argentina is a city where beauty triumphs and the Portenos (as the residents of Buenos Aires are called) are crazy about fashion, so it is a wonderful place to start your holiday in style.

During the day, you can explore the architecture and the history of this multilayered city, where each neighborhood has a different personality.

The old neighborhood of San Telmo is ideal for a morning stroll through the antique shops and the picturesque European style buildings. You are never too far away from a café offering all kinds of delicious facturas ("pastries" often filled with custard or dulche de leche), to enjoy sitting in the sun in a cobblestone terrace.

The iconic Plaza de Mayo and the Casa Rosada (the Pink house, the presidential palace) constitute the heart of the city center, where you can admire the French style buildings of the times - from the 19th century till the 1940s - when Argentina was an economic power and the dream land for many poor European migrants.

Another must see is the Cemeterio de la Recoleta, in the posh neighborhood of Recoleta: the cemetery is literally a city of the dead, with impressive building-like tombs detailing the story of its - extremely wealthy and powerful - occupants. The cemetery is indeed Buenos Aires' number one touristy destination, and owes most of its international popularity from being the resting place of beloved national hero Evita Peron, who was immortalized in the 1996 Alan Parker movie. A capital of culture, Buenos Aires is a city where theaters and museums abound. I would recommend checking out the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA) and enjoy an encompassing collection of the works of Latin America's most revered artists from the 20th and the 21st century. The museum also has a stylish cafe and a cinema for art-house movies.

On top of being the home of literary geniuses such as Jorge Luis Borges and Julio Cortazar, Argentina has an interesting and very well developed tradition of comic strip writing (think of the world-famous character Mafalda) as a visit to the Museo del Humor (Humor Museum) will confirm. The museum is located in the modern neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Puerto Madero, where high rise glass buildings overlook the Rio de la Plata, Buenos Aires' river (literally, the "silver river").

By night, your choice of entertainment is endless. The trendy neighborhood of Palermo should be your first choice for pre-dinner drinks, dinner and after dinner cocktails.

Argentinian cuisine benefits from the influence of its many migrant communities (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese) as well as from the tastes from neighboring countries. Be sure to try the famous asado (barbecue), made from Argentinian precious beef cuts such as lomo (fillet steak).

If you want to enjoy or maybe even dance tango, you will find milongas (dance halls for tango) all over the city, with performances taking place even on the streets and tango classes for all levels (check the courses available at the Academia Nacional del Tango).

Alternatively, you can enjoy world-class opera, classic music or ballet at the Teatro Colon, named by the National Geographic the third best opera house in the world.

Being a city so focused on beauty and appearance, Buenos Aires is also a joy for shoppers. The uber-trendy neighborhood of Palermo Viejo offers a peek into Argentinian design: elegant, sexy and colorful are often the traits of Argentinian frocks, for both men and women.

When you are tired of city life, you can do like the locals and continue your trip to the beaches of Punta del Este, in Uruguay, which is only a little hour away from Buenos Aires by plane.

The coastal town, dubbed the Monaco of South America, is the favorite holiday spot of the young, rich and famous of both Uruguay and Argentina. In terms of how important it is to look good and live well in Punta del Este, it can definitely be considered another neighborhood of Buenos Aires!
