Buenos Aires is often called the “Paris of South America” because of its grand European-inspired architecture, wide boulevards, vibrant café culture, and thriving arts scene. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the city expanded rapidly under the influence of millions of European immigrants, particularly from Italy and Spain, giving it a distinct European cosmopolitan character.
