About Buenos Aires
City overview
Buenos Aires is a Rio de la Plata port city whose identity comes from immigrant theatres, political plazas, tango halls, and apartment-lined barrios rather than one monumental old core. Recoleta and Palermo carry the leafy cafe-and-gallery stay, San Telmo and La Boca keep the tango and port history visible, and Puerto Madero adds the glass-and-dockland skyline beside the Costanera Sur reserve.
Food & drink
Buenos Aires eating revolves around asado, bife de chorizo, choripán, empanadas, milanesa, fugazzeta pizza, dulce de leche, and late-night helado. Mercado de San Telmo, Don Julio in Palermo, Güerrin on Avenida Corrientes, and neighborhood parrillas around Recoleta and Palermo show the range without leaving the city.
