This is the birthplace of tango, a city that never sleeps, where every street seems to pulse with culture and character.

• Plaza de Mayo and Casa Rosada: The historic heart of Buenos Aires, framed by the city’s pink presidential palace, a landmark of Argentina’s political life.
• La Boca: Famous for its brightly painted houses, street performers and football fervour, this colourful district is one of the city’s most photographed.

Sample empanadas from a street vendor, enjoy artisanal ice cream inspired by Italian gelato, or try mate, the traditional herbal infusion shared among friends.

Dive deeper:

Good to know:

Buenos Aires is well connected, with two main airports: Ezeiza for international arrivals and Aeroparque Jorge Newbery for domestic flights. The best times to visit are spring (September to November) and Fall (March to May), when the weather is mild and the jacaranda trees fill the streets with purple blossoms. The city is vast but easy to navigate by metro, bus or affordable taxis. Walking is the best way to absorb the atmosphere of each neighbourhood, from bohemian San Telmo to elegant Recoleta.

Presided over by the iconic Christ the Redeemer sculpture, Rio de Janeiro is an instantly-recognisable city with heaps of attractions. Its city centre offers a mix of quaint colonial architecture, modern businesses, and a sun-drenched beach, making it the perfect place for a memorable, one-of-a-kind city trip.

• Sugarloaf Mountain: Take the cable car for sweeping vistas of the city, coastline, and surrounding islands.
• Selarón Steps: Wander through the vibrant mosaic-covered steps in Lapa, a colourful tribute to Brazil’s culture.

Culinary culture:

Rio's food scene showcases Brazil’s diverse flavours, with dishes like feijoada, a rich black bean stew with pork, and pão de queijo, a cheesy bread often enjoyed as a snack. Street food is also a must-try, from crispy pastéis (fried pastries) to refreshing açai bowls. For a true taste of Rio, enjoy fresh seafood along the city's beachfront or sample a traditional churrasco at a local barbecue restaurant.

Dive deeper:
