A Tour of Buenos Aires, the Home of Tango

Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, means 'fresh air' in Spanish. True to its name, the city enjoys a pleasant climate all year round. It is vibrant and full of artistic flair, earning it the nickname 'Paris of South America.' Buenos Aires is the largest city in Argentina and the second largest in South America. The streets of Buenos Aires run east-west or north-south, with squares, streets, parks, museums, monuments, and statues named after historical events and figures. The streets in the city center intersect in a grid pattern. Sometimes, you might see pairs of dancers performing tango on the streets as you cross. In short, Buenos Aires, like other major immigrant cities, boasts a diverse culture and influences. It is neither entirely European nor Latin American. It retains the elegance and sophistication of European culture while embracing the passion and exuberance of Latin American culture. This unique blend is the distinctive style of Buenos Aires.
