Buenos Aires is an unforgettable city. This is the capital and largest city of
Argentina. Buenos Aires was built by Europeans; this vibrant city overflows
with energy and brims with attractive residents called portenos. They value their
European heritage highly, Italian and German names outnumber Spanish, and the
lifestyle and architecture are markedly more European than any other in South America.
Buenos Aires is composed of many small
places, intimate details, and tiny events and interactions, each with a
slightly different shade, shape, and character. The national dance, the tango,
is perhaps the best expression of that spirit--practiced in dance halls, parks,
open plazas, and ballrooms. Buenos Aires' climate is generally pleasant, with
an annual rainfall of 900mm spread evenly throughout the year. In terms of
weather, spring (September to November) and fall (March to May) are the best
seasons to visit Buenos Aires. Spanish is the official language, but English is understood in the
tourist areas.
