Buenos Aires is located at the northeastern edge of the flat plain known as the Pampas, which occupies the agricultural heartland of Argentina. It is situated at the point where the Parana River delta widens to become the Río de la Plata estuary.

What I like about it:

* Buenos Aires is known as the Paris of Latin America, and it does feel that way.

* A pleasant climate and many expansive green spaces.

* Distinctive neighborhoods that have their own atmosphere.

* Beautiful architecture: It’s not colonial, but it’s very good.

* Culture: 300 theatres, 380 bookstores, and 160 museums.

* It’s the birthplace of the tango, and offers tourists plenty of venues to learn how to do it.

* Cosmopolitan and trendy (in a good way).

* Great steaks. Great malbec wines. Great Italian food. The city was designated Ibero-American capital of Gastronomic Culture 2017.

* A free 24-hour public bike share system.

* The Teatro Colón, one of the world’s best opera houses.

* Great people. Porteños, as the city’s residents are called, are warm, friendly, and very affectionate.
