Summary
One of the great cities of Latin America, Buenos Aires is as vibrant as it is large. A melting pot of ideas since its foundation in 1536, its multiculturalism stretches beyond its population to include its array of architectural styles and absorbing cultural life. All three can be better understood on guided tours of Buenos Aires at Plaza de Mayo, the city’s main square. It’s lined with buildings from the city’s Belle Epoque era, including the Casa Rosada, or ‘Pink House,’ Argentina’s version of the White House. Other monumental attractions are plentiful, but don’t forget to leave time to absorb the ambience of the city too.
