About Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires, Argentiniens elegante, leidenschaftliche Hauptstadt: große Boulevards, Tangosäle, grüne Barrios und Steakabende bis spät.

Die Plaza de Mayo, gerahmt von der rosafarbenen Casa Rosada und der Metropolitankathedrale, ist das historische Herz der Stadt, und die breite Avenida 9 de Julio führt zum Obelisken. Das Teatro Colón, eines der großen Opernhäuser, und die Grand Cafés der Avenida de Mayo erinnern an die Blütezeit der Stadt.
