The Central Argentina / Buenos Aires Province region
Buenos Aires is the most European of all Latin American cities. With its wide boulevards, leafy parks, grand buildings and varied culture and nightlife, the city is reminiscent of Paris or Barcelona.
The porteños ('people of the port'), as the residents of Buenos Aires are called, are more European too - descended from the first Spanish founders and Italian immigrants from the 19th century. Their culture and cuisine still flavors the city and can be enjoyed in countless art galleries, theatres and museums, as well as fine restaurants.
But the city has also spawned its own art forms, notably the tango, for which Buenos Aires is famous.
Buenos Aires / Recoleta area
Recoleta is a trully european and luxurious neighborhood that is packed with elegant restaurants, outdoor cafes, bars, and a cinema complex that is the biggest and best in Argentina.
In the 1870's, a yellow-fever epidemic sent many of the cities elite from their comfortable lodgings of San Telmo to this neighborhood. As a result, Recoleta prospered. The fabulous Avenida Alvear is a great example of the wealth and style of the upper classes in Argentina.
Highlights: Cemetary and Church Area: The Pilar Church and the cemetary in Recoleta are the centres and the hightlights of the most prestigious neighborhood in Buenos Aires.
Palais de Glace: The National Culture Exhibit Rooms are more commonly referred to as Palais de Glace(Ice Palace) is the most famous exhibition hall in Argetina. At times trully interesting events and art exhibits are found here.
Museo de Arte Decorativo: The National Museum of Decorative Art is in a magnificent French Classical landmark building (it's just worth the price of admission just to enter this breathtaking structure). The museum houses a fascinating collection of furnishings and home decor, most of which was donated by Argentina's leading families.
Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes: The National Fine Arts Museums contains some of the nations greattest treasures. While the museum's collection of impressionists leaves much to be desired, the museum does offer a good collection of art by Argentine artists.
Modern Art Museum - MAMBA:
National Library: The library is somewhat of a marvel of Argentine sculpture while being Argentina's biggest library.
