Argentina | Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is the capital of South America’s second largest country, Argentina, and is ideal for a language course.

The lively metropolis has not yet been discovered by tourism. Buenos Aires is not only Argentina’s commercial and cultural centre, but also a shopper’s paradise. There are a variety of popular places for outings that make it possible to get insight into the Latin American culture. Buenos Aires is a perfect starting point for exploring the rest of the country.

Attractions for tourists include the national museum of arts and the splendid opera house Teatro Colón, were artists like Callas, Stravinsky, and Caruso appeared on stage.

The town was fundamentally modernized during the 20th century. The old part with its lanes and the Plaza de Mayo still remain. La Boca, probably the most famous and the most colourful part of the metropolis, is especially worth seeing. Let yourself be enchanted by the impressive tango shows!

In the suburb of La Recoleta, bars and cafes lure you in. Here, you can enjoy the traditional dessert ‘dulce de leche’ after a late steak. You can take part in the joyful life of the Porteños (as the inhabitants of Buenos Aires are called) until sunrise.

Further attractions of Argentina are the breath-taking waterfalls of Iguazu and the jungle, nearby Uruguay and the snow-covered peaks of the Andes in Patagonia. Here, gauchos, whales and penguin colonies wait for you to visit.
