If travelling within South America or if you need to visit Argentina, then a stop in Buenos Aires should definitely be on your itinerary.
This vibrant city has the look and feel of a Spanish city though retains its sense of South American location. Culturally and socially, the city embraces all walks of life. From the hard-headed business district and its Hotels such as the obligatory InterContinental with (frequently Texan oil tycoons) to the bustle of the Boca, Buenos Aires caters for all.
The architecture of the Recoleta area as one would expect from this opulent area is fantastic. The layout of the buildings and the parks planned to perfection. It is here in the cemetery that Eva Peron has her shrine.
On the other side of the city near the bustling port on the banks of the River Plate is La Boca. This plays host to the corrugated iron and hut like buildings that spawned football mad youngsters one of whom evolved into one Argentina's greats : Diego Maradona. Towering above the many improvised football pitches is the famous stadium of one of this country's famous clubs: Boca Juniors.
Nightlife in Buenos Aires is frenetic. Have a drink in the numerous bars or treat yourself to a traditional Argentine steak in one of the restaurants. Afterwards catch the club scene until the early hours.
A general point to note which applies to most of South America as a whole is to ensure you take US Dollar travellers cheques and some US Dollar cash aswell. As the Argentine Peso is linked closely to the US Dollar this allows purchases of goods etc to be made in US Dollars (which some Argentines readily accept!).
