I ♥ Buenos Aires -- Ten reasons why BA is a great place to go.

Here are the first 3 reasons!



1 - The transportation system.

Unlike other Southamerican cities, BA has a very good subway system that connects South to North, East to West; And interconnects with trains and buses. There are at least a hundred bus lines, 6 subway lines, and 8 railroads.
So going around BA is easy, cheap and touristically profitable, as you can see your way from and to every destination. The Guia T or Filcar Guides are unexpensive and self explanatory when showing the easiest way through this beautifull city.

2 - The 100 barrios of Buenos Aires.

Actually, they are 48, but they are known as the 100´s from a tango song by Alberto Castillo.
Diverse and stylish in their own way, each BA neighbourhood has an identity of its own. Architecture in this city is something to enjoy. Your travelling costs get even lower if you choose to walk through these cultural gems. Cathedrals, La Boca´s conventillos, Belgrano´s huge houses, Palermo design Buildings, Downtown BA Office Buildings...you have it all. From early european influence to contemporary designs.










3 - Not so touristic spots to be loved.

Belgrano - Barrancas de Belgrano & other places.





Caballito- Parque Centenario & Book fair.





Flores - Plaza Flores & Basílica San José de Flores.
