Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is Latin America's great café society: a city of Parisian boulevards and porteño swagger, where dinner starts at ten, bookshops occupy old theatres, and tango is danced socially until dawn. Its parrillas serve some of the world's finest beef, poured over with Mendoza Malbec at prices that still feel like a secret.
