Über Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is South America's Paris — grand Beaux-Arts avenues, Recoleta mausoleums, Palermo Soho boutiques + parrillas, San Telmo Sunday antiques market, La Boca coloured tin houses, and tango milongas five nights a week. Argentine steak (bife de chorizo, ojo de bife) plus Malbec is the food canon; medialunas + café con leche is the daily ritual. It runs late — dinner at 10pm, clubs at 2am.
Warum Buenos Aires besuchen?
Buenos Aires is South America's Paris — Belle Époque avenues, world-class beef + wine, and a currency environment that makes luxury unusually affordable for foreign visitors.
