Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is often referred to as the Paris of South America, a cosmopolitan capital, rich in history and designed around beautiful historical squares. Open to the ocean, it has welcomed immigrants from Europe and the rest of the world, becoming in the process an elegant and cultured metropolis. As well as the incredible architecture, the city has a thriving artisitic and literary tradition, and is home to the fabulous tango, so make sure you don't leave without experiencing a spectacular dinner and tango show. The small country of Uruguay is easily accessible from Buenos Aires, and its colonial towns and historical capital make for an interesting addition to a stay in the city.
