A cosmopolitan city full of elegance and energyBuenos Aires is the capital of Argentina and although it may be the wealthiest city in South America, it is also rich in culture, music and the arts. As your luxury MSC cruise ship pulls into the newly modernised cruise terminal, the soaring skyscrapers of the world’s ninth largest city hint at the elegance and energy that this cosmopolitan city and important cruise destination holds. Located on the eastern shore of South America, locals are called porteños (people of the port) and the city name means ‘good air’ in Spanish. To enable you to take full advantage of everything that this wonderful holiday destination has to offer, MSC Cruises has organised a diverse package of activities and excursion deals to help you get the best out of Argentinean life. Buenos Aires is divided into 47 small neighbourhoods or ‘barrios’ and each has its own distinct character. La Recoleta district is reminiscent of Paris, whereas San Telmo displays the city's multinational heritage through its Spanish Colonial, Italian and graceful French architecture. Your vacation in Buenos Aires would not be complete without a taste of the Tango, the sultry romantic dance born in the 1870’s, and now elevated to an art form. Try your hand at a Tango dance and work off a dinner of excellent Argentinean beef that the country is renowned for. With fabulous shopping opportunities throughout, you are unlikely to return to the ship empty handed, although the main souvenir you take back will be the lasting impression that this wonderful city leaves. |
