Founded in 1580, Buenos Aires is today the largest city in South America, home to over a third of the country's population and glittering in the afternoon light reflected off the River Plate. Known as the city that never sleeps, its round the clock attractions never fail to surprise first-time visitors, and reward those returning again and again. It is a city of contradictions, where tradition thrives alongside innovation, and where the tango lives on, from the breathtaking precision of professional dancers to the sensuous sway of couples at the city's milongas. At weekends, San Telmo hums with antique stalls, La Boca's Caminito draws artists with its brightly painted walls, Recoleta's square fills with handicrafts, and gauchos display their horsemanship at the Mataderos market.

For art and culture lovers, Buenos Aires's 57 museums house some of the continent's finest private collections, while the Colón Theatre, celebrated worldwide for its acoustics, is unmissable for classical music enthusiasts. Keen walkers can trace history from the Plaza de Mayo, overlooked by the salmon pink Casa Rosada, along the Avenida de Mayo past the art nouveau Café Tortoni, across the sweeping 9th of July Avenue to the Palace of Congress, and on to Recoleta, with its café lined esplanade, famous cemetery and contemporary art scene. Just north of the city, the Tigre delta offers a tranquil escape of waterways, shaded islands and family-run hotels, the perfect weekend away from the bustle of Buenos Aires.
