Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Paris of South America or The Poor Man's Paris
Buenos Aires is a beautiful and graceful cosmopolitan capital city, boasting splendid cathedrals, opera houses, and broad avenues where residents can be seen strolling until the early hours. Much like Paris, dinner in Buenos Aires frequently starts at 11:00 p.m. or midnight, and restaurants stay open until 7:00 a.m.
Argentina has many locations where one could settle, but Buenos Aires is the main destination for retirees looking for a more affordable way of life. The city continues to appear as one of the top choices for retirement. Even with spiraling inflation, expats report that they can live comfortably on $2,000 a month. Healthcare is very good and there are also world renowned resorts and beach areas within a short driving distance.
WHEN TO GO: Buenos Aires has a mild climate. Average temperatures in January, the hottest month: about 74 degrees. June, July and August are the coldest; average temperatures all three months are about 50 degrees. The shoulder seasons -- spring and fall -- are perhaps the best time to visit the city. Of course, if you plan to use the city as a springboard for visiting other parts of the country, plan for temperature variations as drastic as those in the United States.
