The Winds are fair in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires was originally named after the Virgine de Bonaria of Cagliari, Sardinia and it was first established as Ciudad de Nuestra Señora Santa María del Buen Ayre. Those early settlers apparently liked their city names to be a mouthful!

Gone are the long names and in their place is the simple and elegant Buenos Aires – fair winds. The simple beauty of the name reflects the modern city that holds it. Buenos Aires is one of those places that will capture your heart and hold it captive. In addition to having style and grace, it is a city that has culture. It is a city that has been compared to Paris and in some ways it lives up to that comparison.

If you like your culture in the form of opera, symphonies and art museums, you will like Buenos Aires. If nightclubs and dancing are more your scene, Buenos Aires won’t disappoint. If you are a foodie, you’ll love the internationally-inspired cuisine. If you are a simple backpacker trying to live on the cheap, well, Buenos Aires is more expensive than many parts of South America, but a cheap vacation there is possible.
