BUENOS AIRES HOLIDAY REVIEWS
Buenos Aires
A city that combines the passion and energy of Latin America with the style and sophistication of a European city, Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, is a city of contrasts where desperately poor people beg and rummage through garbage below imposing colonial mansions, and wide boulevards and cobbled streets give way to sprawling slums. Amore

Buenos Aires - Jonathan Newey. Date of travel: Jan 2007
Very happening city and certainly very in right now. You will be spoilt for choice by the number and quality of bars, restaurants and accommodation. I am not going to recommend any restaurants, too subjective and they change frequently. However, having spent a month there recently I am happy to recommend staying in Las Canitas, a small, very safe, central, little known district. Much less "touristy" than its bigger and better known neighbour Palermo. If you are in Buenos Aires for two weeks or longer and are bored of hotels or hostels, consider renting an apartment. There are lots of options through companies like BA apartments.com. You can rent an amazing pad (rooftop, pool, etc) for very unamazing prices.

Buenos Aires - Jules Costen. Date of travel: Oct 2005
Amazing town, amazing food and cool people. Not to be missed. This is a very romantic city with distinct European overtones, yet maintaining its well known and very unique Argentinian feel/culture. Argentinians seemed to have inherited (from the Italians and the Spaniards) that attitude of living to enjoy life rather than to stress about it... so being there is very enjoyable indeed since they have it very clear what great food is... as well as good entertainment. Maybe if it were overly expensive I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much... but guess what... it was not.

Although I don't generally like cities, I loved Buenos Aires for its charm and laid back feel, particularly in the bohemian San Telmo district where we strolled around the marketplaces and watched informal tango sessions taking place in Plaza Dorrego. Watching tango in the squares and in the La Boca neighbourhood was an amazing experience - no need to pay lots of money to book a special tango and dinner show that is advertised heavily!
