Argentina: Top Ten for Fine Dining, Nightlife, and Ease of Travel

The folks over at FutureBrand have released their 5th annual Country Brand Index...and Argentina tops the list in major travel and leisure categories.

In the Fine Dining category, Argentina wows at #4, outdone only by global heavyweights France, Italy, and Japan. It's the only South American destination to make the top ten. With the country's famed meat and wine; rich European heritage that results in authentic French, Spanish and Italian cuisine; introduction of fusion foods from Asia and Peru; and great value at restaurants, we're not surprised!

The country is no snoozer when it comes to Nightlife, either. At #10, Argentina is already known for its plethora of bars and discos that stay open 'til dawn. We love that here, it isn't just about the drinking - milongas, tango shows, theater, and much, much more make for all kinds of evening entertainment. Heck, even our neighborhood ice cream shop stays open until 2 a.m. on weekends!

And, finally, Argentina slides into 7th place for the Ease of Travel category, which ranks the ease with which travelers can enter, leave, and get around the country. We're sure it helps that, unlike certain South American neighbors, Argentina has fewer visa restrictions - making it not only easier but cheaper to get into the country.

Here at Inspira, we know that gastronomy and nightlife rank high on our travelers' priority list...which is why we not only help guests get around, but also get to the tops in restaurants and night fun with our complimentary concierge service. If you're traveling with us, let us know what we can help you with!
