Its construction, based essentially on streets with right angles, reminds a lot the configuration of the big American cities, and, in particular that of New York. Sitting on 48 barrios or districts, Buenos Aires presents a multiple face. Two districts are particularly attractive for tourists. Located to the east of the city, the district of San Telmo is at the same time one of oldest but also one of best preserved: it is in this part of the city that the origins of tango in Argentina are traced. We like to visit Buenos Aires for its antique shops, restaurants and cafés. Its artistic essence and bohemian spirit still make it the landmark of many cultural events today. Also in the east of the city, the Montserrat district, named after the eponymous Black Virgin, is a veritable concentration of national historic monuments and also houses a large number of Argentinean institutions. Reminiscent of other great international arteries, the Avenida de Mayo, which joins the Place du Congrès at the Place de Mai, is travelled with delight for its art nouveau and neoclassical inspired monuments. Not surprisingly, this place was declared a national historic site. A landmark of historical and cultural treasures, Buenos Aires can be visited all year round or almost all year round: with a humid subtropical climate, the city experiences average temperatures of 11 degrees in winter and 22 degrees during the summer season. July remains the coldest month of the year, with minimums even reaching 0 degrees in the most extreme cases, the average being 9 degrees. The incredible capital of Argentina holds many secrets for which it would take several trips to discover them all. But what are the essentials in Buenos Aires? First, soak up the atmosphere and walk along the avenue de mayo, to admire the different types of architecture, until you reach the incredible Place du Congrès. You should also take advantage of the trip to Buenos Aires to discover the widest avenue in the world, that of July 9, and walk around Corrientes to go shopping, go up to the Recoleta cemetery to salute the grave of Eva Peron or go out to party in the lively and bohemian district of San Telmo. Tango is also an institution in Buenos Aires since it is here that this famous dance has cost life. We can therefore take a hotel in Buenos Aires in the Palermo district to go out in the evening to attend a show. La Boca is also an inratable district for its houses of all colors, and very tourist where the tango dancers fight the pavement in the open air. So many ideas for a full vacation in Buenos Aires! Located in the Avenida de Mayo, Café Tortoni always welcomes tango dancers or jazz musicians in its basement. In the same street, the Palacio Barolo, which for a few years was the highest building in South America, 100 metres high, has a decoration inspired by the structure, in three chapters, of Dante's Divine Comedy: Paradise, Hell and Purgatory. During your stay in a hotel in Buenos Aires, it is recommended to attend a Tango show. Among the best addresses is Señor Tango, a show restaurant located in the old quarter of Barracas. He has the reputation of being one of the best tango shows in town. The street is also very often the scene of improvised dances. The majority of the bars are located in the district of Palermo and particularly around the Plaza Cortazar. ou can also rent a car in Buenos Aires to discover its surroundings and in particular the small town of Tigre, a kind of Argentine bayou, where you can taste the best parillada in the whole country, almost with your feet in the water. The other culinary specialty, apart from its beef cooked à la plancha and unique in the world, is dulce de leche, a kind of milk jam that can be enjoyed alone or in an ice cream. Vegetarians may be unhappy with the trip, since Buenos Aires is first and foremost famous for its good meat. But they will be able to catch up on their stay on the potatoes house of Desnivel, an address impossible to circumvent in the district of San Telmo.
Another Argentine speciality which is worth all the stays and all the flights to Buenos Aires: the empanadas, these small fritters filled with ham, cheese, fish... what we want, and which are delicious!
