Buenos Aires is an astonishing metropolis that looks a bit like Europe, but with an edgy Latin American twist. Glamorous and gritty, this is a very special place, beautiful in its own unique way, resilient and creative.

This grandiose city with wide avenues and a vibrant cosmopolitan flair is more generally European than Latin American in character. Having little colonial architecture and few landmark buildings, Buenos Aires is chiefly a city of distinctive neighbourhoods that have their own meeting places, generally coffeehouses or bars.
Spread out on the southwest of the River Plate, the city exists as a series of stand-alone neighborhoods, or barrios, each with its own distinct charm. There's the bohemian San Telmo, known for its historic streets and bustling antiques market, or working-class La Boca, home to colorful houses and Argentina's beloved soccer club. The sparkling new dockland of Puerto Madero feels far-removed from the old-word elegance of Recoleta or the leafy boulevards of Palermo, where a collection of ultra-hip cafes, boutiques and bars draw in a young, carefree crowd.
