One of the things I love about Latin America in how colorful the streets are, and Buenos Aires is no exception.
The city is very different from most of what I experienced traveling through Central and South America, both the culture and the look of the city.
Much of Buenos Aires still has European architecture, especially in the central barrios, even if it is sometimes faded and crumbling. There are parts of Buenos Aires that are newer and have a modern look like Puerto Madero.
Yet most of the city still has the vibrant, colorful streets typical in Latin America.
These are the streets I love to wander.
Colorful Buenos Aires
Peeling paint adds character.
Sometimes nature adds color even in an urban setting.
Art in Parque Lezama
So San Telmo
Graffiti art beyond walls
My favorite street corner in Palermo Soho.
I love the contrast of graffiti art next to a building with an historical facade.
How cute is this?
If you’ve read my earlier posts, you know that I”m a huge fan of graffiti art in BA.

Plan a trip and learn more about Buenos Aires!
This month I am highlighting Buenos Aires in celebration of the release of my Buenos Aires City Guide published by Indie Travel Media. I put a lot into this project, and I am proud of the end product. I love this city, and I want anyone who visits to use this guide to create a unique experience and enjoy the best of Buenos Aires.
Street art! It is my favorite becuase every picture depicts a story. And, it is a so coloreful. I have observed that the mix of colors you get to see through street art is unique. I like the vintage car which is painted so beautifully and the painting of girl and boy on the doorway. I am amazed at how creative people can get with this.
I love it too. I have soooo many photos of street art from Buenos Aires (and many other places around Latin America). The creativity is certainly inspiring.

Great pictures–I love how just a little bit of paint (and a lot of talent) can turn a drab old building into a work of art. If you are ever in Taiwan you should check out the Rainbow Village. It’s a small community painted from top to bottom, perfect for people who love colorful streets

I will definitely do that. Thanks for the tip.

Brilliant compilation of photos. They speak for themselves. You are right, there is no comparison to Buenos Aires. I like the one where bushes are hanging on the wall.

This place looks like an artistic city, so many beautiful and colorful paintings. I like the graffiti on the walls which is beautiful. I want to know whether this city is like that colorful or you captured some specific areas of this wonderful city.
