BUENOS AIRES
Buenos Aires is the capital city of the Republic of Argentina. It was founded twice, first in 1536 and then finally in 1580.
Located on the western coast of the River Plate, the city was marked from the very beginning by a European influence on its layout, buildings style and traditions. The migration flows by the end of the 19th century, fostered to settle the vast territories of the country, strengthened the European preeminence.
Visitors find these typical features in the buildings down town, in Puerto Madero, or in the neighborhoods of Recoleta and San Telmo.
Cultural attractions are unique: museums, ateliers, bookstores, and theatres; but also the local passions, tango and football, that captivate anyone coming to visit. This city never rests or sleeps; you will always find something new to see.
