The Subte (Subway) is the best way to travel quicky from one place to another in Buenos Aires.The network counts five lines : A, B, C, D, E and H going into all directions and at their beginning building a frame around the micro-centro of the city. The frequency is about 4-5 minutes all day long.The subte is thus very practical but is interesting also for other aspects!The linea A and C have kept their old wagons from the beginning of the century (respectively 1913 and 1930) with wooden seats and warm little lights! The decoration of the walls is also exceptionnal : all stations have mosaic peintures with different topics : tango dancers, the city, the working portenos,... And last but not least, the metro stations are equiped with TV diffusing infos, videos clips and advertising!The only problem is that there are no metros anymore after 11pm...
