Buenos Aires

The passionate capital of tango and steak — Argentina's gateway to Patagonia, the falls and the coast.
Getting there

Best for
Arrival/departure, tango and dining, grand boulevards, a city stay before the wild
The land
A grand, European-styled capital on the Río de la Plata
Good to know

What it is
Buenos Aires is Argentina's electric gateway — a capital of tango, steak and grand boulevards, and the hub for every onward journey.
The 'Paris of South America', Buenos Aires pairs European grandeur with Latin passion: the cafés and bookstores of Recoleta, the colour of La Boca, the cemetery where Evita rests, and a tango and dining scene that runs late into the night. It is the hub from which flights fan out to Patagonia, Iguazú and the whale coast.
