Mix together a beautiful European-like city with attractive residents
(call them porteños), gourmet cuisine, awesome shopping, a frenzied nightlife
and top-drawer activities, and you get Buenos Aires, a cosmopolitan metropolis
with both slick neighborhoods and equally downtrodden areas –but that’s part of
the appeal. It’s an elegant, seductive place with a ragged edge, laced with
old-world languor and yet full of contemporary attitude. BA is somehow
strangely familiar, but unlike any other city in the world.
In between cutting-edge
designer boutiques, ritzy neighborhoods and grand parks are unkempt streets
full of spewing buses and bustling fervor. Seek out classic BA: the old-world
cafés, colonial architecture, fun outdoor markets and diverse communities. Rub
shoulders with the formerly rich and famous in Recoleta’s cemetery, making sure
to sidestep the ubiquitous dog piles on the sidewalks. Fill your belly at a
parrilla (steak restaurant), then spend the night partying away in Palermo
Viejo’s trendiest dance club.
Hunt for that antique gem in a
dusty San Telmo shop, or visit on Sunday for the barrio’s spectacularly popular
fair. Learn to sweep your leg dancing the sultry tango, and then attend a
super-passionate fútbol match between River and Boca. These unforgettable
adventures (and many more) are just waiting for you to go out and experience
them.
Everyone knows someone who has
been here and raved about it. You’ve put it off long enough. Come to Buenos Aires and you’ll
understand why so many people have fallen in love with this amazing city, and
even decided to stay. There’s a good chance you’ll be one of them.
