Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital, is often called the 'Paris of South America' for its elegant architecture and café culture. It is the birthplace of tango and a city that stays up late.
The center and Recoleta
Avenida 9 de Julio, one of the widest avenues in the world, is marked by the Obelisk. Plaza de Mayo is surrounded by the pink Casa Rosada. In Recoleta, the famous cemetery holds the tomb of Eva Perón.
La Boca, San Telmo and Palermo
La Boca's Caminito street is painted in bright colors, with tango dancers performing outside. San Telmo has an antiques market on Sundays. Palermo has parks, cafés and restaurants.
