Buenos Aires is one of the most European cities in South America. It is a very stylish city with many interesting buildings from the nineteenth century. It is also known as the South American Paris for its architecture and style.
Don't miss the neighborhood of San Telmo.
If you are looking for some entertainment, Buenos Aires is your best choice. Many discos, a casino, plenty of bars... The night has no end in Buenos Aires.
There are countless things to see and do in this passionate city.
The city is famed for its nightlife especially in the neighborhood of La Boca and San Telmo where tango bars are plentiful. In typical Latin fashion the dinner hour is late (about 11 pm). After dining many people retire to one of the outdoor cafes for coffee or people watching. Discos start even later—most open around 2 am.

Amerika one of the nicest clubs in Buenos Aires, the place is pretty cool, a big space painted and
decorated mostly in red colors, some touches of white in chairs or couches, which creates a very steamy
atmosphere. All ages, all genders, all orientations are mixed in its 2 levels spaces.
The main one a big dance floor surrounded by 3 bars in each of the sides and one big scenario in the
the remaining side. where all types of shows takes place, maybe a DJ creating the best sound, or a group of
boys and girls dancing for the delight of our eyes. the 2nd level is divided in another 3 spaces,
one living from the one you can observe the main dance floor. it has a bar for your comfort, and by the
way in every bar you will find very cute people helping you to calm your thirst!... another level in
another side of the place is a lounge...a little bit more private... kind of intimate where usually
the people who met someone on the dance floor goes to know each other a little bit better...the third
space is very particular it has the usual couches and also has a little room with the shape of a
inverted cone made of transparent material, it is actually a mini disco. the difference is that in the
whole disco you will listen only to the beats of the electronic music and its variations, drum & bass,
progressive always nice and mixed live , and in the mini disco you will get more pop sounds like for example
Madonna, or Latin music. | |

In general is a place that you have to visit, nice location, nice people,
nice music..! in comparision to other venues in another cities such as London New, York or Paris is
equal and even cheaper....
Getting Around
You can explore Buenos Aires by foot, bus or horse-drawn carriage (romantic but not very fast). The
most effective way is probably by using the subway —the A Line has charming old cars with wood and
leather interiors. The subway is fast, efficient and easy to manage. By using the subway you can get
to, from and around the central city quickly and relatively safely. Taxi's are inexpensive as well.

Shopping
You could spend a few hours shopping and people watching along Florida Avenue a pedestrian shopping street lined with small shops and cafes just off the Plaza de Mayo.
There are also many shopping malls, including Abasto Shopping, Palermo Shopping, Galerias Pacifico,
Patio Bullrich, Recoleta Galleries.

Dining Out

Even when short of money, Argentines love to eat. Through economic ups and downs, the Argentine capital
city has never been short on eating establishments nor has it ever wanted for diners. In recent years,
as the economy has recovered, the number and variety of restaurants has steadily been increasing and BA
offers culinary experiences on a par with major European and North American capital cities, but at a
fraction of the price. For the best information about restaurants in Buenos Aires, try Guia Oleo.com The
website is in Spanish, but should be navigable even by someone who only speaks English. Restaurants are listed according to types of food, neighborhoods, and most highly recommended. The Guide functions as a sort of Argentine "Zagats" and gives price indications in pesos as well. The hot-spot for restaurants in Buenos Aires is currently the neighborhood of Palermo, though excellent eateries can be found all across town.
