Buenos Aires - A remarkable destination for a remarkable vacation

Just like every year, this year too, we decided to visit an exotic location for our yearly vacations. After researching a lot about several destinations, we decided to visit Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina. This is a beautiful country located in South America. As soon as we decided to visit this destination, we started looking for cheap flights. Since, we are quite fond of traveling but we have to indulge in budget vacation, we have to search for several air flights that offer us cheap tickets to Buenos Aires. As soon as we booked our tickets, we started packing for our sojourn.
Kids were thoroughly excited to visit this place and they had accumulated a lot of information about this place through internet and travel magazines. The place enjoys a humid subtropical climate hence we packed our clothes accordingly. The place also experiences four major seasons. This city offers a variety of attractions and offers something to everyone. Since, the destination is gaining a lot of popularity from tourism point of view, several flights to Buenos Aires like British Airways are available these days.

The day we reached this destination, we decided to rest and stay back in the hotel. Next day, after a heavy breakfast we set out for our city tour that we had booked well in advance. Our very first stop was at Casa Rosada. It is a famous museum that displays a huge variety of presidential letters, flags, canes, drawings, notes and other Argentine figures. Watching these exhibits give us a fair idea about the rich culture of the place and the history of the place can also be traced back. Kids too enjoyed trip to this museum. Our next stop was at Obelisco. This building is one of the famous landmarks in this destination. Speaking volumes about the architecture of this place, this building is an architectural marvel worth looking. We had lunch at one of the popular restaurants in the city where we tasted some unique cuisines representative of this destination.
We continued with our sightseeing spree post lunch. We visited Barrio de San Telmo that is known for its hustle and bustle. This famous quarter offers a glimpse into the way of living of the people residing here. Around this quarter, there are several museums, churches, markets and many more worth visiting. A lot of time is needed to do justice to this place. Many tourists who are interested in a variety of commercial activities visit Puerto Madero. Close to San Telmo, Plaza de Mayo is located.  At La Boca, we saw houses made up of zinc and wood. We also enjoyed some of the best Tango shows here. With that our vacation came to an end. Availability of cheap flights to Buenos Aires made it possible for us to visit this wonderful place.
