Buenos Aires 🇦🇷, the vibrant capital and largest city of Argentina, is often referred to as the “Little Paris of South America.” This enchanting city boasts the “Four Treasures of Buenos Aires”: football ⚽️, tango 💃, grilled meat 🥩, and mate tea 🧉. Home to the world’s most beautiful bookstore and café, Buenos Aires invites you to explore its rich culture and history. Argentina 🇦🇷, please don’t cry for me. Here is your ultimate guide to this captivating city.

Firstly, the warmth and hospitality of the Argentinians are truly remarkable. Upon my arrival, when I was planning to exchange money at the black market, it had already closed. My Airbnb host generously lent me some cash, free of charge. Even without internet, a kind passerby on the street helped me find my way to the Airbnb.

Your journey in Buenos Aires should begin with a visit to Plaza de Mayo. I had the incredible experience of witnessing a large demonstration there, which was truly awe-inspiring. As the only Asian face who could speak Spanish, I received a warm invitation from the locals, and they even shared a cup of mate tea 🧉 with me afterward. It’s an experience you must try.

The area is filled with colorful houses and charming handicrafts, making it a perfect place to wander for hours. While some may caution about safety, I didn’t encounter any issues, and it should be perfectly fine during the day.
