Buenos Aires: The Paris of South America
南美的巴黎：布宜諾斯艾利斯
Meagunn Hart
7/6
With delightful colonial1 architecture2 and vast3 green spaces enjoyed by cyclists and picnickers alike, along with hip cafés where the wine flows and the music plays, Buenos Aires might bring to mind some of the more famous cultural centers in Europe. But this South American capital has a spice to it that few other cities can match. In between seeing its most famous attractions, you could find yourself watching an exciting soccer match or gaucho competition,4 or dancing the night away.
One of the many must-see places to visit is the Recoleta Cemetery, a maze* of impressive monuments5 built to honor Buenos Aires’s most notable6 dead. Maps are available for self-guided tours, but hiring a local guide will let you in on all the secrets buried here. On weekends, the Feria Recoleta across the street is an excellent spot for picking up locally made souvenirs and sampling some delicious street food.
Nearby, you’ll also find the National Museum of Fine Arts, which hosts the largest collection of Argentinian art in the world, as well as works from world-renowned* masters like Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Picasso. The building, with its unmistakable* pink facade,* was converted7 from a former pumping station built in 1870.
布宜諾斯艾利斯擁有迷人的殖民地時期風格的建築和廣受單車騎士與野餐者喜愛的廣闊綠地，以及暢飲美酒與播放音樂的時髦咖啡館，可能會讓人想起歐洲一些更知名的文化中心。但這個南美洲的首善之地擁有一種很少有其他城市能夠與之匹敵的魅力。在參觀其著名景點之餘，你可能會發現自己正在觀賞刺激的足球比賽或南美牛仔競賽，又或者是徹夜跳舞。
雷科萊塔公墓是眾多必訪的景點之一，這裡有為紀念布宜諾斯艾利斯最有名的亡者而興建的雄偉紀念碑，如迷宮般錯綜複雜。你可以取得地圖來自助旅遊，不過聘請一位當地的導遊將能讓你瞭解埋藏在此處的所有祕密。週末時，對街的雷科萊塔市集是選購當地製作的紀念品和品嚐一些美味街頭小吃的絕佳地點。
在附近，你還會發現國家藝術博物館，裡頭收藏了世界上數量最多的阿根廷藝術品，以及林布蘭、梵谷和畢卡索等世界知名大師的作品。這座建築物正面是明顯的粉紅色外牆，由一座建於一八七○年的前抽水站改建而成。

Another pink-hued attraction in Buenos Aires is the Pink House, which has been the office of the president of Argentina since 1898. Eva Peron famously addressed her supporters from the balcony of the building, which was allegedly* painted with a mix of red and white paint to unite the colors of opposing8 political parties in an appeal for peace.
To take in more of the city’s sights, take a bike tour along the July 9 Avenue, the widest avenue in the world, which is named for the day Argentina seized9 independence from Spain in 1816. You’ll see many of Buenos Aires’s architectural and cultural treasures, including the Obelisk, built to commemorate* the foundation10 of the city; Lavalle Street, home to numerous11 cinemas; and the Columbus Theater, one of the world’s best opera12 houses. 
If you’d rather browse13 the city’s highlights14 at a slower pace, check out the Grand Splendid15 Athenaeum, a former theater turned bookshop that was once declared the “world’s most beautiful bookstore” by National Geographic magazine. Pick up a book about Buenos Aires’s rich history and enjoy it with a cup of coffee or a glass of Malbec at one of the hundreds of quaint* cafés throughout this beautiful South American city.
布宜諾斯艾利斯另一個粉紅色調的景點是玫瑰宮，自一八九八年以來一直是阿根廷的總統府。伊娃．裴隆在這棟建築的陽臺上向支持者發表了著名的演說，據說為了呼籲和平而結合對立政黨的顏色將該建築漆上了紅白的混合油漆。
想要欣賞更多的城市景色，可以沿著七月九日大道來趟單車之旅，這條世界上最寬的街道是以阿根廷於一八一六年從西班牙手上取得獨立的日子來命名。你會看到許多布宜諾斯艾利斯的建築與文化寶藏，包括為了紀念建城而興建的方尖碑；擁有許多劇院的拉瓦列大街；以及世界最頂級的歌劇院之一——哥倫布劇院。
如果你想以較緩慢的步調來瀏覽城市的主要景點，不妨去參觀雅典人書店，這個前身為劇院的書店曾被《國家地理》雜誌譽為「世界上最美的書店」。在這美麗南美城市的數百家別緻咖啡館中擇一，挑一本關於布宜諾斯艾利斯豐富歷史的書籍，並搭配一杯咖啡或馬爾貝克紅酒來享受。
