Long regarded as one of Latin America's most expensive cities, Buenos Aires, also known as the Paris of South America, stretches lazily along the Rio del Plata. Buenos Aires is a city of culture and of art, and course, the sensual movements of the tango, Argentina's national dance. Not one to be constricted by one focal point, Buenos Aires is variety of points of interests, small pockets of neighborhoods each separate and distinct. The San Telmo district is where you should go for a taste of the city's classical architecture seen in the buildings done in Spanish colonial design. The murals of Buenos Aire's street artists make La Boca another must-see, a place where you can see tin houses painted in bright, primary reds, blues, greens and yellows, a reflection of the locals' love for classical and modern street art.

Portenos, as the locals like to call themselves, are a typical European people-a majority of the people in the city is of German and Italian origin, the reason why the city also abounds in Italian, French, German and other European restaurants. Buenos Aires is a city of good food, wining and dining at its most sophisticated. In fact, before the major peso crisis in 2001 the city's restaurants were doing business at rates at par with the most exclusive restaurants in upscale New York.
