About Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is de elegante, gepassioneerde hoofdstad van Argentinië, met statige boulevards, tangozalen, groene barrio's en late biefstukdiners.

De Plaza de Mayo, omlijst door het roze Casa Rosada en de Metropolitaanse Kathedraal, is het historische hart van de stad, en de enorme Avenida 9 de Julio leidt naar de Obelisk.
