Buenos Aires: South America's most sophisticated city
Buenos Aires is the most European city in South America — founded by Spanish settlers and reshaped by Italian and other European immigration in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The wide boulevards, café culture, opera houses and bookshops (El Ateneo Grand Splendid — the world's most beautiful bookshop) tell this story.
Palermo — BA's most vibrant neighbourhood. Palermo Soho (boutiques, restaurants), Palermo Hollywood (media, nightlife), the parks.
San Telmo — the oldest neighbourhood. Sunday antique market, tango milongas, cobblestone streets.
Recoleta — elegant, upscale. The famous Recoleta Cemetery (Eva Perón's tomb), the MALBA art museum.
Villa Crespo — the new Palermo. Better value, excellent restaurants, up-and-coming.
La Boca — the colourful Caminito, the Boca Juniors stadium (La Bombonera). Touristy but visually extraordinary.
