Its rich past is very much apparent in the city’s beautiful architecture with streets of French-style apartments, opulent palaces, grand plazas and parks right across the city. There are also a whole host of museums and sights to explore and a fantastic literary and café culture.
Exciting and cosmopolitan, Buenos Aires is arguably one of the most 24-hour cities on the planet. However, nocturnal city life is not the sole territory of the young, and you’ll often find people of all ages out walking their dogs at 1am, grabbing a coffee and a chat in a local café or a midnight ice cream. Though Argentina is rightly famous for its beef, and the traditional Asado (BBQ) is a way of life here, steak is not the only thing on the menu, and there is a thriving and varied restaurant and café scene. Art and music are the heart and soul of the city and every other porteño (Buenos Aires local) is either an artist or a musician.
COSMOPOLITAN CULTURE AND CHARACTER
Though there are musical styles to suit absolutely every taste, the one that is synonymous with Buenos Aires, and which fascinates and seduces many, is of course the tango. An authentic and inclusive tango scene is very much alive and high kicking in the city, with young and old, locals and visiting enthusiasts, all taking the floor together, and the international and gay tango festivals held in Buenos Aires every year.
