Buenos Aires 8
Excellent city to visit. Obviously there are areas, that at certain times, you should not visit (but you could say that of every city in the entire world), but overall I felt very safe. Public transport is very usable, and taxis are relatively cheap. Take in a Tango Show - well worth the cost. Some hotels are grossly overpriced, but lots of smaller, cheaper hotels which are very good indeed.

Beautiful city with friendly people who are always willing to help. Such a variety of things to do, the Arts are incredibly cheap, the opera only costs about US$10. There are really good museums. Generally the city's architecture is beautiful with a wide variety of styles. It is little wonder the residents are proud of the city and justifiably so!
