Buenos Aires Info
More European than South American in flavour, Buenos Aires' heart boasts bustling streets, grand avenues, old-time cafes and stylish restaurants. The locals are renowned for their flair and cockiness, even in times of adversity. It's a city of tragedy and elation; a vibrant, cosmopolitan capital.
For the tourist, Buenos Aires delivers. Wander cobbled streets, marvelling at faded architectural glories and colourfully painted metal houses. Talk world politics and fútbol in atmospheric old cafes. Tuck into one of the famous Argentinian steaks to power a long night's partying.
Buenos Aires' air of sophistication and pride may have taken a serious reality check in light of the country's ongoing economic and political turmoil, but its people are no strangers to drama of this magnitude and the city remains a safe, vibrant, cosmopolitan capital.
More European than South American in flavor, Buenos Aires' Microcentro (downtown) heart boasts bustling streets, grand avenues, old-time cafes and stylish restaurants. The porteños (locals), renowned for their flair and cockiness, even in times of adversity, are suffering a collective bruised ego these days. However, it is all just another part of the complex and extreme Buenos Aires character, a history full of tragedy and elation, an ongoing drama that the city's people are inextricably bound to.
Although Gran Buenos Aires has swollen to 13 million people, most tourists stick to the Capital Federal, which is home to a mere 3 million porteños (locals) and is divided into 48 barrios (neighbourhoods). Once you get your head around the barrios and sub-neighbourhoods that complicate the city's layout, Buenos Aires becomes easier to navigate. The Microcentro, or downtown precinct, provides access to the most interesting barrios and entertainment areas along the Avenidas of Corrientes, Córdoba and Santa Fe, and the pedestrian-only streets of Florida and Lavalle. The Avenida 9 de Julio is an unmistakable point of reference; its 16 lanes of traffic run from San Telmo in the south to Retiro up north, with a sky-piercing white obelisk at its centre. The dockside barrio of Puerto Madero runs north-south along the Río de la Plata and is very pedestrian friendly.
At the eastern end of Avenida de Mayo, one of Microcentro's main east-west boulevards, the Plaza de Mayo attracts a bountiful blend of tourists, students and political activists and is surrounded by many important buildings, including the famous Presidential Palace (Casa Rosada). South of Microcentro are the faded architecture and cobbled streets of colonial San Telmo, home and birthplace of the sultry tango, and La Boca, the tough port barrio and colourful working class heart of Buenos Aires. Uptown is the ritzy barrio of Recoleta, while the tree-lined Palermo has parks aplenty and Buenos Aires' hottest bars and ethnic eats
