Capital and largest city of Argentina; located in eastern Argentina near Uruguay; Argentina’s chief port and industrial and cultural centre. A Spaniard by the name of Juan Daz de Solis first reached the Ro de la Plata, which is the location of present-day Buenos Aires, in 1516. Over time, there has been a steady stream of immigrants and visitors from Europe and all other parts of the world to this fascinating city. The locals are called Porteos, and their city is comprised of a myriad of intriguing neighbourhoods, all of which are worth a visit. Visiting in the spring or autumn will reveal Buenos Aires at its best, although its climate is rather mild all year round.
