Buenos Aires – la Reina del Plata

4 days

Buenos Aires, the elegant Capital of Argentina, with over 3 million Porteños – as the residents are called, is one of the largest cities in the world. This great metropolis renowned for its sophistication stands out for being the most cosmopolitan and European city in South America, displayed through its mixed architecture and diverse culture. The Tango ambience can still be felt here, from the outdoor performances in San Telmo or La Boca to the evening shows in glitzy theatres. Buenos Aires, ‘la Reina del Plata’ (the Queen of the River), as the tango lyrics go.

There are so many hotels in Buenos Aires so if you have another on your wish list please let us know.
