Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is the capital of Argentina, as well as one of the most beautiful and elegant cities in South America, which is often called the Paris of the southern hemisphere due to the strong European influence on its architecture. A combination of grand avenues and cozy streets, old mansions of the colonial era and modern buildings, the interweaving of various architectural styles, epochs and traditions – all this creates its unique color. Start exploring the city from the republic square and the historical center with its large number of beautiful monuments and museums. Visit «La Boca» district, that is considered to be one of the most interesting and where you can walk along the streets and sit in cozy cafes and restaurants, admiring the bright colored houses around. The tradition of painting them in several colors appeared in ancient times, when the locals did not have enough paint to make the houses completely monotonous. For shopping lovers, you should go to San Telmo. Here, at the flea market, you can buy really rare things at an affordable price. Area Plaza de Maya attracts the attention with many boutiques and nice shops. The Colon theater is great for opera and ballet fans. And the old cemetery of Recoleta, located in the same district of the city, will provide an opportunity to get in touch with the rich past of the country. Many famous argentines, scientists and artists are buried here, and some crypts keep its secrets and stories.
