About Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires, élégante et passionnée capitale de l'Argentine : grands boulevards, salles de tango, barrios arborés et dîners de viande tardifs.

La Plaza de Mayo, encadrée par la Casa Rosada rose et la cathédrale métropolitaine, est le cœur historique de la ville, et la vaste avenue du 9 de Julio mène à l'Obélisque. Le Teatro Colón, l'un des grands opéras, et les grands cafés de l'avenue de Mayo rappellent l'âge d'or de la ville.
