Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, is known as the Paris of South America. It is easy to see why when marvelling at the magnificent baroque architecture present throughout the city. Buenos Aires’ European influences, combined with the resurgence of national pride felt after hauling itself out of a 4 year economic recession, has meant there has never been a better time to visit this South American metropolis. There is a plethora of things to do in Buenos Aires. Take a dance lesson in the city where Tango was born, or catch a show in the Teatro Colón, one of the world’s great opera houses. Sample an asado, the Argentinean speciality of grilled meat, usually cooked over an open flame. At night, savour a Quilmes beer with the locals, or paseños, and revel in every second spent in this bustling, cosmopolitan capital.
