Buenos Aires is the capital and most populous city of Argentina. It is located on the estuary of the Rio de La Plata. The city is a top touristic destination and is famous for its European architecture and rich heritage and cultural life. It is often called “The Paris of South America”. Since mid 19th century the city, and the country in general, has received millions of immigrants from all over the world, for which it is considered one of the most multi-ethnical and diverse cities of Latin America. The streets of Buenos Aires offer the visitors wide boulevards and cobblestone alleys, sidewalk cafes, theaters, art galleries and museums, soccer matches for the sports enthusiasts, tango music and dancing, classic music and opera in the world-famous Colon Theatre, and exciting rock’n roll shows.

Accommodation
Below we list hotels downtown (near Obelisco), uptown (in Recoleta or Palermo), and at walking distance. Keep in mind that walking distance hotels are closer to the venue but have less dinner options at night. From downtown, Uber or a cab will get you to the venue in 15 minutes.
