Highlights
If you do stop off on your cruise in Buenos Aires then you may feel slightly overwhelmed at the many amazing sights and activities on offer, so here is a round up of some of the main highlights to give you an idea where to start:
* Plaza de Mayo – this is the main square in the city and a great starting point for a sightseeing tour as it has a number of excellent examples of colonial architecture and is close to many of the main pedestrian shopping areas of Calle Florid and Lavalle.
* La Recoleta Cemetery – this is the main resting place of Argentina’s most famous daughter Eva Peron, and is a mecca for many Argentineans and also visitors interested in the often turbulent history of the country. This is often combined with a visit to the Museo Evita (Eva Perón Museum)

Buenos Aires is the vibrant capital of Argentina, and is situated on the southern shores of the Río de la Plata. This city was built by Europeans and still has a certain European flavour, which can be seen in some of its beautiful old colonial buildings such as the Teatro Colon, which is the seat of performing arts with opera, ballet, theatre and pop concerts all held within its elegant walls.

The citizens of this city love to party, and you will find that there is a vibrant, friendly atmosphere in the evenings when you go out for a meal or dancing. There are also some wonderful cruises that you can take from the port, which is a lovely, relaxing way to see the beautiful Argentinean coastline.
