Buenos Aires is truly a world class city! It boasts European sophistication while retaining Latin charm. The city offers with countless pubs, cafes, colorfull neighborhoods and an active nightlife diversion for many weeks or even months of exploration while learning and practicing Spanish!
Argentina’s capital is often called the “Paris of South America” because of its beautiful architecture, the impressive buildings and the attractive streets. The avenues of this big city with about 11 million habitants are famous because of its restaurants, theatres, tango shows and a lot of other pleasure possibilities for all the flavours.
An important aspect, which makes Buenos Aires even more attractive, are the low prices. Since the peso crashed some years ago, the city has become a bargain. The convenient currency rates with dollars for example, euros or the yen made Buenos Aires to an important attraction of South America.
Apart from the fantastic capital, Argentina offers more for its visitors: the waterfalls in Iguaçu or Patagonia are unforgettable. Furthermore you can benefit from the short distance to Uruguay’s Colonia or the famous beach of Punta del Este.
