Puerto Madero

城市概覽

The San Telmo district preserves colonial-style houses along narrow cobblestone lanes, illuminated with pretty wrought iron lanterns. In San Telmo, one breathes the history of Buenos Aires. There is also a very exciting, underground nightlife scene. Just like the London docklands, the antique port of Buenos Aires (Puerto Madero) has been renewed and now represents the latest architectural trends of the city. It has a mixture of restaurants, ranging from high end to U.S. chains such as Hooters and TGIF. It also has apartment buildings and a few expensive hotels. The Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur, an excellent option for nature lovers, lies nearby. The Retiro neighborhood hosts the main train station in the city, a busy area filled with commuters, but also home to some of the most luxurious restaurants, shopping, and partying, in the expat-friendly border of Microcentro. Retiro has attracted people from various kinds of lifestyles, without any strong attraction for any specific group of people.

The building covers a whole city block and the walls are lined with European marble or at least those sections of the walls not lined with gold leaf are. The project has been a resounding success. Modern experts declare the acoustics of the theatre to be the best in the world for opera and Argentinians are so fond of the theatre they queue around the block to renew annual subscriptions. In the early twenty-first century the theatre was completely renovated. Spanish and English tours run regularly and are very popular. AR$30,000.
