Buenos Aires Travel Guide
Argentina
Buenos Aires is Argentina’s capital and largest city, with a population of 15,490,415. It is the country’s main urban centre, set on the western shore of the Río de la Plata.
Travellers arrive by air through Aeroparque Internacional Jorge Newbery or Ezeiza/Ministro Pistarini International Airport. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so Buenos Aires is better approached as an urban break than a beach destination.
