General information
Buenos Aires has its roots in the early 1500s and is remarkably different from many South American cities. French architecture and street planning have had a large influence on Buenos Aires and give this city a distinctly Parisian feel. With the fragrances of flowers sold on street corners, terrace cafés and freshly baked bread - the city recreates the best of both Gallic and Latin cultures.
The heart and soul of Buenos Aires are unmistakably Latin and the visitor will be carried away by the rhythm of the place.
Buenos Aires, once experienced, is a city beyond comparison.
