Buenos Aires, the ninth-largest city in the world, is a sprawling metropolis rising from the Río de la Plata and stretching more than 200 square km (75 square mi) to the surrounding pampas, the fertile Argentine plains. With more than one-third of the country's 39 million inhabitants living in or around Buenos Aires, the city is the political, economic, and cultural center of Argentina and the gateway to the rest of the country.
A rich congeries of cultures and influences, it can sometimes be hard to get a fix on the real Buenos Aires. Don't try too hard, for the wonders of the place may elude you. In reality, the essence of Buenos Aires resides in singular encounters with its intense Latin spirit -- a flirtatious glance here, a heartfelt chat there. Whatever may be your experience here, it is likely to be rewarding enough to bring you back time and again.
