Buenos Aires, regarded as the “Paris of South America”, offers elegant architecture, exquisite cuisine, a legendary nightlife, and fashionable shopping. The most popular tourist sites are found in the historic core of the city, in the *Montserrat (map) and *San Telmo (map) neighborhoods. Buenos Aires was conceived around the Plaza de Mayo (map), the colony’s administrative center.

A block, or two, south of the Plaza de Mayo, the older section of Monserrat begins. This is Buenos Aires’ oldest neighborhood and even today, very little of the cityscape there is less than a hundred years old (except along Belgrano Avenue), thereby making a nearly seamless transition to the likewise historic San Telmo district, to the south.
