Simultaneously, in Buenos Aires, visiting museums (it is about 120 there) is something that is not recommended strongly. Parks, wide streets, unique architecture are the masterpieces of time themselves. Plaza de Mayo is the center of the capital, the center of the country and the biggest trade area in the world.

Puerto Madero. If you take a step to the right - you see a restaurant, if you take a step to the left you will see an office building and once Madero was just the area of seaport warehouses.
La Boca is the seaport; it is famous for unforgettable, noisy Caminita Street with its bright-color houses. Recoleta area is the most elegant, glamour and prestige one. Its name is connected with the Franciscan order built the basilica Pilar (1716) and then woman monastery there. San Telmo is the part of the old city, besides vivid atmosphere and charming colonial architecture there is Plaza Dorrego (one of the oldest squares Humberto 1 and Defensa Street), where the big market of antique things works on Sunday.
Being in Buenos Aires, it is worth visitingthe Colon Theater, renowned and splendid; it is the center of opera and ballet of the whole continent.

There is also the Servantes Theater, Plaza-San-Martin, market Puerto-de-Frutos, Nueve de Julio- maybe the widest street in the world, Santa Fe prospect with its fashionable shops, Matadores area - you cannot get tired in Buenos Aires. In conclusion, the most interesting museums are the Isaac Fernandez Blanco (suipacha 1422) - it has the biggest collection of colonial art and silver and the National Museum of Fine Arts - it offers the wonderful exposition of argentine artists (XIX-XX) and gifts of foreign painters.
