Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital city, is a large metropolis known as “the Paris of the South” for its beautiful buildings designed by French architects, and the rich European heritage of the “porteños” - as the natives of Buenos Aires are called. Nowadays, the city´s frantic way of life may be compared with that of New York City. Buenos Aires is a stylish and seductive port city, where you will find everything you need to have a great time. Rich in museums and theaters, with lots of cultural events happening all around, it is an enjoyable place to wonder about, stopping for an ice-cream or at any of the many parks or just soaking up the unique atmosphere of the busy streets. It has a frenzied nightlife that makes it one of the world´s great round-the-clock cities. Porteños are intensely involved with the life and culture of their city, and will gladly share the many secrets that Buenos Aires possesses. They are very friendly and regard a good night out as a God-given right. Buenos Aires is also Argentina's gastronomic centerpiece with a varied cuisine. “Asado” (grilled meat cuts) accompanied with a glass of red wine is the most famous of Argentinian exquisite dishes, and a must try. In Buenos Aires, you will experience a combination of sights, sounds and smells that you will never forget. Such an exciting, charming and fascinating place is definitely worth visiting - and the dollars/pounds/euros that you bring, will go a very long way.
