Buenos Aires is a vibrant cosmopolitan city with a palpable warmth, infectious dynamism and passion, and a wealth of cultural assets to explore. Its architectural wealth and multicultural heritage fuse with an eclectic nightlife, great gastronomic choices, a vibrant arts scene, and vast parks and green spaces, all creating one of the most exciting and multidimensional capitals in the world.

Buenos Aires has long been considered the cultural capital of Latin America. The city boasts more theaters and bookstores than any other city in the world, as well as museums, art galleries and concert halls. The impressive Teatro Colon is a renowned opera house, while the city’s dance and music festivals, as well as art galleries such as the Museo de Bellas Artes and MALBA, attract thousands of visitors.

The city also maintains its unique cultural traditions, such as tango.

This sensual and seductive dance that was born in the Italian immigrant neighborhoods in the 19th century and that we find today with a strong social presence in the “milongas” of the neighborhoods as well as in the superb shows of professional dancers.

The impact of its history and modernity is strongly represented in many of the city’s restaurants and bars, which has made Buenos Aires the capital of Ibero-American gastronomic culture for 2017. You can sip coffee in elegant 19th-century lounges like Café Tortoni, where politicians, celebrities and literary giants like Jorge Luis Borges met, you can taste the best steak in the world in traditional “parrillas” or steakhouses, or go and discover some of the most prominent contemporary restaurants and bars in Latin America.

The diversity of the city exists through its different neighborhoods.

Recoleta and Retiro show the historical opulence of the city, the elegant monuments with neoclassical architecture, as well as the Recoleta Cemetery which is an incredible labyrinth.

San Telmo with its cobbled streets hides the secrets of the city’s colonial past, beneath its bohemian and artistic side.

Palermo, the fashionable district, showcases the city’s artistic avant-garde and is full of fashion boutiques, bars and trendy venues; the newly renovated Puerto Madero Port overlooks the Rio de la Plata River with its gleaming skyscrapers, while the Mataderos district offers the opportunity to discover the traditions of Argentina’s indigenous communities with a weekly craft market that showcases the equestrian exploits of the gauchos.

The city also boasts exciting sporting events, such as the renowned Boca Juniors-River Plate tournament, and attractive parks and public spaces – many of which were designed by French architect Charles Thays in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

La large réserve naturelle du fleuve est un paradis pour de nombreuses espèces d’oiseaux, et la ville a su se positionner en Amérique du Sud en tant que leader du développement durable, en créant des pistes cyclables et des zones pour les piétons, en offrant ainsi l’opportunité aux visiteurs d’explorer cette capitale et son histoire intrigante à pied et à vélo.
