Buenos Aires: cosmopolitan city

Buenos Aires is dynamic and has an open-minded personality. It is the perfect city to relax in, stroll around and enjoy. Buenos Aires has its own way of life which makes it unique.

Mix together a beautiful European-like city with attractive residents (call them porteños), gourmet cuisine, awesome shopping, a frenzied nightlife and top-drawer activities, and you get Buenos Aires, a cosmopolitan metropolis with both slick neighborhoods and equally downtrodden areas – but that’s part of the appeal. It’s an elegant, seductive place with a ragged edge, laced with old-world languor and yet full of contemporary attitude. BA is somehow strangely familiar, but unlike any other city in the world.

I've been to Buenos Aires twice: first time I choose to book a room in one of the nicest boutique hotels Buenos Aires, and the second time I found an amazing flat where I stayed for 2 weeks. I have to warn you guys, there are many options when it comes down to furnished apartments in Buenos Aires, but don't let them overcharge you!

In between cutting-edge designer boutiques, ritzy neighborhoods and grand parks are unkempt streets full of spewing buses and bustling fervor. Seek out classic BA: the old-world cafés, colonial architecture, fun outdoor markets and diverse communities. Rub shoulders with the formerly rich and famous in Recoleta’s cemetery, making sure to sidestep the ubiquitous dog piles on the sidewalks. Fill your belly at a parrilla (steak restaurant), then spend the night partying away in Palermo Viejo’s trendiest dance club.
