Fascinating Buenos Aires

June 22nd, 2010 posted by admin

Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, is an enthralling combination of subdued European elegance and turbulent South American exuberance. It has charm and energy, class as well as vigor. This fascinating city is synonymous with excellent food, engaging music, exciting nightlife, and beautiful people.

The best way to experience Buenos Aires is by walking. There are enough interesting sights and sounds to keep the pedestrian pleasantly occupied for hours. It is also a nice way of seeing the friendly and attractive people of the city. When tired, you can always take the subway or board a bus. You can also hire a bike but it is advisable to avoid crowded roads in favor of bike-trails.

The elegant Florida Street or Calle Hotel Looe. Pedestrians interested in cinema can walk to Lavalle, the street of movie theaters. Tango dancers and other performers flock around this area in the evenings and hence ensure that you can enjoy a musical and romantic night in the city.

You must not miss the quaint, funky, and endearing charm of San Telmo, the oldest neighborhood in Buenos Aires. This place is perfect for someone looking to relax and at the same time acquire an insight into the history and culture of Argentina. There are many galleries, book shops, and antique stores. In the evenings, the outdoor shops disappear and many more restaurants crop up. You can also participate in outdoor Milonga or an open tango dance party.

There are parks and plazas, old churches, historical mansions and monuments, colorful localities and swanky boutiques, museums, lakes, and gardens in Buenos Aires; something for everyone. There are literary cafés like Café Tortini, which are patronized by poets, authors, and other celebrities. The beautiful Bosques de Palermo, with its sculptures of Dante, Shakepeare, Lorca, and other poets, is another place worth visiting.
