Argentina used to have a war with the UK in the 1980s but not anymore. Now, Argentina is a pretty decent country to visit in even by just backpackers and those who have a business conference down there. If you are with a business conference, then obviously you are booked by your employer. But if you are just a couple simply having a vacation in Argentina, then there are numerous car rentals available at the airport in Buenos Aires.

Argentina has its fair share of recent colorful political history, romanticized by Madonna’s portrayal of First Lady Eva Peron and eternalized in broadway shows every now and then. Once you’re in Argentina, you may want to immerse in the culture of the place. What better way to experience that than eating the street food that is common in the country. Some of the novelty foods found in Argentina include mate (a beverage made of herbs). No wonder the Argentineans are one of the highest life expectancies outside Europe. The wine there is also awesome as Argentina is said to be the third largest wine producing region in the world next to Europe and California. So try the best of Argentina.

Buenos Aires means good air in English so everything must be good in this capital of Argentina. Buenos Aires is actually the philatelic capital of South America so many stamp collecting hobbyists must be journeying in this city whole year round. Being a coastal city, the beaches in Buenos Aires are developed resorts just like their counterparts elsewhere. And the food here is awesome – authentic Argentinean cuisine.

One of the best foods that you may want to cherish here – whether you are a backpacker or simply having a family vacation – is asado which is actually beef barbecue. Barbecued beef? Now that’s something that Bobby Flay must be cooking! Yet it is available widespread here in Buenos Aires. Another delicacy is the bife de lomo which is actually Argentinean tenderloin cooked at its best.

Yet Buenos Aires restaurants also serve veggie dishes as well. Those are for tourists who love the artworks and architecture of the beef-laden city yet who are craving for fiber. Pizza here is different from New York or Italian pizza, it is more of a Spanish-inspired empanada way, owing to the city’s colonialism with Spain. So what are you waiting for? Have a great vacation here in Buenos Aires.
