I finally visited Buenos Aires, Argentina, the city I’ve always dreamed of!
It’s not called the “Paris of South America” for nothing.
But this place is different from regular Paris, it’s incredibly vibrant and full of unexpected charm.
I’ll tell you about the places I visited this time and thought, “This place is truly amazing.”
The first place I headed to was La Boca.
I almost dazzled by the colors the moment I got off the plane.
Yellow, red, blue… The buildings look like Lego blocks!
But this place actually started out as a place where poor workers used leftover paint from boats to paint their houses.
Isn’t it so romantic?
Watching the guys dancing the tango on the street, I thought, “I’m really in South America!” and my heart raced.
But be warned! If you get too caught up in taking pictures and go a little deeper into the alleys, the atmosphere suddenly becomes a bit chilly.
I even thought, “Huh? This place is a little scary.” I immediately made a U-turn because I wanted to.
You really should only hang out on Caminito, a street that’s particularly crowded with tourists.
The restaurants there are all tourist-oriented, so they’re expensive and the food is just so-so. The rule is to just take pretty pictures and leave!
And then, I wanted some quiet time, so I went to Recoleta Cemetery.
Well, what kind of cemetery is better than my house… (a sad, funny reality). This isn’t a cemetery, it’s just an “open-air sculpture museum.”
People still leave flowers in front of the famous Evita (Eva Perón) tomb.
Walking among the magnificent stone buildings gives me a strange feeling, and it’s incredibly comforting.
Oh, but I heard they charge a pretty high entrance fee for foreigners these days?
It was a bit of a waste to pay to see the cemetery, but the view will make you think, “Well, it’s worth a visit at least once.”
And do you like the color pink?
I fell in love with Casa Rosada, the pink presidential palace!
The building is such a beautiful shade of pink. When combined with the blue sky, it creates a photogenic picture that doesn’t need any retouching.
This is where the balcony from which Evita gave her public speech is located. Even if you don’t know much about history, just looking at the building is healing.
However, protests are frequent in this square, so if you smell tear gas or feel too crowded, you need to be smart and get out quickly!
Finally, my favorite neighborhood, Palermo! It’s like Seongsu-dong or Yeonnam-dong in Korea.
There are endless cute cafes and boutiques, and I spent half a day just sitting there, sipping coffee.
I think that was the happiest moment of my trip.
The fun of admiring the colorful murals in every alley was also great.
The only downside… is that my wallet kept getting ripped off. The prices are a bit high, but it’s still the safest and hippest place to stay, so I’m glad I chose this area.
Every day in Buenos Aires was truly a series of unexpected twists and turns.
It’s a neighborhood that’s scary at times, but also incredibly beautiful at other times. I really hope you all visit sometime!
