More European than South American in flavour, Buenos Aires'

cafes and stylish restaurants. The locals are renowned
for their flair and cockiness, even in times of adversity.
It's a city of tragedy and elation, a vibrant, cosmopolitan
capital.

Orientation
Although
Gran Buenos Aires has swollen to 13 million people,
most tourists stick to the Capital Federal, which is
home to a mere 3 million porteños (locals) and
is divided into 48 barrios (neighborhoods). Once you
get your head around the barrios and sub-neighborhoods
that complicate the city's layout, Buenos Aires becomes
easier to navigate. The Microcentro, or downtown precinct,
provides access to the most interesting barrios and
entertainment areas along the Avenidas of Corrientes,
Córdoba and Santa Fe, and the pedestrian-only
streets of Florida and Lavalle. The Avenida 9 de Julio
is an unmistakable point of reference; its 16 lanes
of traffic run from San Telmo in the south to Retiro
up north, with a sky-piercing white obelisk at its center.
The dockside barrio of Puerto Madero runs north-south
along the Río de la Plata and is very pedestrian
friendly.
At
the eastern end of Avenida de Mayo, one of Microcentro's
main east-west boulevards, the Plaza de Mayo attracts
a bountiful blend of tourists, students and political
activists and is surrounded by many important buildings,
including the famous Presidential Palace (Casa Rosada).
South of Microcentro are the faded architecture and
cobbled streets of colonial San Telmo, home and birthplace
of the sultry tango, and La Boca, the tough port barrio
and colorful working class heart of Buenos Aires. Uptown
is the ritzy barrio of Recoleta, while the trendy tree-lined
Palermo has parks aplenty and Buenos Aires' hottest
bars and ethnic eats.
