Buenos Aires holidays

Buenos Aires is a lively, energetic and glamorous city, lined with cobbled streets that wouldn’t look out of place in a Charles Dickens novel. The architecture is gloriously eclectic, combining imposing churches and ornate public buildings with sleek, modern constructions and humble, traditional dwellings. Tree-lined streets erupt into blossom-blooming colour, and the smell of spicy cooking is a permanent perfume. Buenos Aires’ population is made up of welcoming people who are passionate about their city and are always delighted to share it with visitors.

For a hefty slice of Argentinian culture, pay a visit to the Centro Cultural Kirchner. Once the city’s post office, the beautiful neo-classical building now houses works of art from creative luminaries and a range of free activities for adults and children.
If you have any shoppers in your party, whisk them down to San Telmo Market. A treasure-trove of handmade arts and crafts, the market is held every weekend and is as popular with the locals as it is with visitors.
Buenos Aires is filled with green and glorious parks. Be sure to visit the Parque Tres de Febrero, covering over 1,000 acres, the park is famous for its rose gardens and lakes and plays host to a number of other attractions, including the City Planetarium and Buenos Aires Zoo.
To enjoy the city from a different perspective, take a tour of the Tigre river on one of the many river-buses. Virtually unspoilt, you can expect to see dense, green islands, shimmering tributaries and plenty of vibrant birdlife.
