If you are traveling across South America, you cannot miss magnetic Buenos Aires. Amidst many corners and narrow sidewalks, this city will remind you of several areas of New York as well but passionately blended with the fervor of Argentinian people and the creation of this wholesome blend of culture and tradition.
Buenos Aires is “La Ciudad de la Furia” in English: “The City of Fury”. And it truly is the best way to describe this city. During day and night, you will find many traditional and cozy cafés buried under stunning buildings and constructions.
In Palermo, a neighborhood in the city flourishes with cafés, cobblestone sidewalks, and greenery. On the other hand, in some of the most remote parts of the city, like the San Telmo neighborhood, you can actually breathe in the history of Buenos Aires. In any part you are in the city, you’ll experience anything from the coziness of a traditional café & tango bar to the fury of a city that never really sleeps. You will find yourself eager to discover every inch of the city and experience every hidden corner of it. It’s like that feeling in Midnight in Paris but in Buenos Aires.
