About Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is the capital city of the Republic of Argentina and one of the most important cities in Latin America. It houses the National Government Offices, the Legislative Chambers and Judicial Powers, the forces of defense and security, and the diplomatic missions that maintain relations with the country.

One of the most interesting attractions of Buenos Aires is its architecture.

Its style reflects the influence of the Spaniards, French and Italians in its building and in its parks. The city has wide avenues, mansions, extensive green spaces, hundreds of sculptures and a large quantity of churches; all integrated among houses, office buildings, apartment buildings and modern skyscrapers.

Buenos Aires surprises its visitors with its contrasts; with a mixture of different styles that distinguishes the big cities of the world: elegant, noisy, cultural, lover of the tango, of endless coffee chats, of nightlife and of course: of football.

The city of Buenos Aires is located in front of the Río de la Plata, it occupies a surface of 200km² and it is made up of 47 neighborhoods.

The majority of the "Porteños" are identified with the neighborhood where they lived almost all their life. It is not common that tourists visit all these neighborhoods since there aren't specific attractions; but nine of them concentrate most of the tourist attractions: La Boca, San Telmo, Monserrat, Puerto Madero, San Nicolás, Retiro, Recoleta, Palermo and Belgrano.

It is easy to move around the city since it is distributed in blocks of 100 meters long and wide (10,000 square meters surface). There are avenues and streets identified with names of personalities of the cultural, military and political history of the country and of the world as well as places and dates. The financial district, commonly referred to as "La City" or "Microcentro" is located between Avenida Cordoba and Avenida de Mayo and between Avenida 9 de Julio and Avenida Paseo Colón; while the tourist areas of the city are found in the neighborhoods near the "centro" or downtown, and they are: Recoleta, Palermo, la Boca, San Telmo and Puerto Madero.
