It's It's shed its reputation as a place of political unrest, and now Buenos Aires welcomes visitors with warmth and an open pride for its complex history. Often dubbed "The Paris of South America", the city appeals to those with a love for unwavering eclecticism. An artistic flare gleams in barrios such as Palermo and Colegiales, while a European influence is still palpable in areas where immigrants first settled including San Telmo and La Boca. Diverse neighbourhoods lined with rosewood and ombú trees are punctuated by lush green spaces - the city is defined by its many parks designed by French landscaper Charles Thays. Between them, you'll find plenty of museums to explore, cultural events to enjoy and great food to savour. This is a city unafraid to show its true colours.
