Buenos Aires
With its rich history deeply influenced by the city’s European roots, Buenos Aires is known to many as the ‘Paris of the South’. European and South American cultures collide and embrace to create a notable harmony quite unlike any other city on earth. The Argentinian capital’s population are principally descendants of immigrants from Italy, Spain and beyond. An astounding 97% of the population of full or partial European ancestry, while it is clear that this is truly South America with more than half of the population having some indigenous or mestizo ancestry.
Birthplace of the Tango, Buenos Aires is rich with city districts full of stunning Spanish Colonial style architecture, timeless Art Nouveau and Neoclassical buildings, each district with its unique variety of buzzing bars, steak restaurants, world-class pizzerias, old school coffee shops and distinctive street art. One of the great delights of spending time in Buenos Aires is sitting outside on one of the countless street terraces enjoying a coffee or a glass of the world’s finest red wine and people-watching.
Yes, we are here to watch, taste and feel the football culture, but this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience life in one of the world’s finest cities, tens of thousands of miles away from home. Exploring San Telmo, La Boca and Palermo: you’ll need more than your eyes and ears to capture this incredible experience.
