Buenos Aires: a fascinating city is waiting for you

«Hip, happening Buenos Aires is luring writers, artists and musicians from around the world An invasion of foreign artists is transforming Buenos Aires into an emerging international capital of cultural cool. Like Prague in the 1990s, Buenos Aires offers chic on the cheap and is attracting scores of musicians, filmmakers, journalists, designers and even sitcom writers from abroad. Hundreds, if not thousands, have spilled in from the United States, England, Spain and beyond, helping to bring the capital out of a period of deep cultural isolation after an economic collapse five years ago. Champagne-fueled fashion shows and gallery openings keep the city's glitterati on a 24/7 social schedule. Casting agents scour bars looking for young English or Mandarin speakers for the dozens of foreign commercials regularly being shot in the city. A-list actors like Colin Farrell, Natalie Portman and Benicio del Toro have all vacationed in town recently».

You can take the chance to learn more about tango in Buenos Aires. Most tourists not only love to see the many tango shows the city offers - from street exhibitions to very sumptuous shows- but they also enjoy taking tango dancing lessons.

The people in Buenos Aires, called "porteños" (port people), are very warm and open-minded. In general they are very used to living in diversity. The last century saw the population grow into millions after receiving large-scale immigration coming from different continents and cultures. Buenos Aires was the first city in Latin America in which the legislation started to authorize civil unions of couples no matter which gender they are, and in the past few years, the city has become a principal destination for gay-and-lesbian-oriented travel agencies.
