Buenos Aires, Argentina's cosmopolitan capital, is an eclectic combination of Latin and European
influences. e tree-lined streets and postcolonial architecture draw on the city's Spanish, French
and Italian heritage, while the many cafés and bodegas and vibrant nightlife are decidedly
Argentine. Its barrios, or neighborhoods, exude an intimate atmosphere that belies the city's size.
Full of bohemian flair, historic San Telmo's cobblestone streets and Belle Époque style buildings
reverberate with the mesmerizing melodies of the tango.
