Buenos Aires
Set in the northeast of Argentina, Buenos Aires is the capital city and the main transport hub for the country. Whilst some travellers want to get through here as fast as possible, it’s actually quite an interesting place to explore, especially if you are into tango, steak and football. There’s some rather cool little hotels too.
