Buenos Aires is the capital and, by far, the largest city in Argentina. The name means “fair winds” in Spanish and it has been an important port town throughout its history. Its citizens are even called “porteños” which means people of the port. The Greater Buenos Aires area has a population of about 13 million. Despite being the capital of the country, Buenos Aires is considered an autonomous city but with nearly a third of Argentina’s population it has its own unique political aims and concerns.


Buenos Aires is often called the “Paris of South America” and, given the degree to which European culture is present there, its quite an accurate title. Most porteños are of European origins with Spanish and Italian being the dominate groups but many European waves of immigration have influenced the city. This can be seen in the mix of architecture which resembles a mix of Barcelona, Paris and Madrid and many famous buildings designed by European architects.


Buenos Aires is a huge city with a great deal to see and do though most should be done during the day until you are quite comfortable with the area you are visiting. La Boca is one such place to be careful but is a vibrant working-class neighbourhood renowned for tango and football and has the “Caminito”, a pedestrian street with artists and crafts for sale. The Cementerio de la Recoleta is the resting place of all the wealthy families with huge ornate tombs to visit. For something a bit more trendy but still authentic is the Palermo Viejo district with cobblestone streets surrounded by shops and restaurants. For a more tourist experience San Telmo is good to visit, particularly on Sunday for the street fair and market.


While living in Buenos Aires you will certainly be exposed to plenty of Tango, a dance native to the country. December 11th is the National Day of Tango and it is so important to the culture it has been named by UNESCO as part of the world’s Intangible Cultural Heritage. Football is also extremely popular and Buenos Aires has some of the most passionate fans in the world and attending a game is part of the city’s vibrant experience. If sports are not your thing then the Buenos Aires International Book Fair is one of the top five in the world or in November there is “La Noche de los Museos” where museums are open throughout the night.
