More about Emperador

Central Location

by crazygal59 about Hotel Emperador

We stayed for two days at this hotel and found the service and accomodation excellent. This hotel is located on the border between the Recoleta area and Retiro. The rooms are lovely and the bathrooms are very large with lots of little extras like robes and all kinds of lotions and shampoos. There is a nice bar area off the lobby and a diningroom that looks out over a beautiful little garden. You can also eat outside or have a cold beer out there as well. There is a very nice indoor pool and quite a good gym. Also this hotel is located within a 10 minute walk to the Bullrich Shopping Mall.

Where locals go

by tocaqui

I've been told that the train ride to Tigre and San Isidro is fabulous, but I'd rather not go (only) to places mostly frequented by tourists. Does anyone know where Buenos Aires residents usually go for a romantic day out of town? I'd appreciate some other tips :)

Re: Where locals go

by crazyman2

A lot of the locals go to Tigre! It is an area, a delta, well worth a visit. Of course there will be tourists ----but it's not going to be heaving like St.Marks Square in Venice or Ramblas in Barcelona.
Go to Tigre a take a boat ride around the waterways. If you feel so passionate about avoiding the tourists then hire a private boat and ask to be taken away from the touristy areas.
There are some photos and more information on my travel pages which can be viewed by clicking on my photo and following the links. Many other VTers also have great pages.

Re: Where locals go

If you want to avoid tourists take the 'regular' train from Retiro; we didn't see any tourists !!

In Tigre take a public boat into the delta (with lots of locals on board), disembark at 'Tres Bocas’ and make a walk along the canals. And again we didn't see tourists (or even better almost nobody).
See for more ifo: http://members.virtualtourist.com/vt/tfr/1/17875d/6/176156/

On your way back to Bs As you could make a stop in San Isidro.

happy travels

the locals do not usally take the tren de la costa (the one from San Isidro) not only because more expensive, from downtown it's better take the one from retiro

Travel Tips for Buenos Aires

Recoleta

by Sonador3

Pretty much the center of all tourist activity in the city, and despite my best efforts, the area where I spend most of my time. Here you'll find the Village Recoleta, where there are many shops, restaurants and a huge movie theatre. Take a walk outside, and go head down Junin for the longest and most touristy restaurant row in the city. The prices may be a bit higher here, but the food is generally good in most places, and very good in my favorite, El Parrillon de Recoleta.

Across the street is the Cemetario de Recoleta (where you can visit the tomb of Evita, among others), The Basilica Nuestra Senora del Pilar, as well as the Plastic Museum (yes!). And if you are so inclined, check out the swanky and famous Alvear Palace Hotel; the place where royalty and heads of state stay.

Most stores and major...

by Cabernetman

Most stores and major restaurants have at least one person that can speak english but not always. Most hotels have several people that speak english but the odd maid or waiter may not. Do try to learn a few Spanish phrases. When I was there I found Lonely Planets 'Latin American Spanish' phrasebook most invalueble.

Murky Waters

by SabrinaSummerville

I was astonished to discover that the seas surrounding Buenos Aires are brown. As the country opens out into the Atlantic Ocean this amazed me, as I expected the bluish green ocean waters that I had seen in other parts of the world.

I thought that perhaps it was just me, but I overheard others remark the same.

We stayed one night in the Panamericano hotel before departing on a cruise and the other pre-cruise guests were all mentioning the fact that the cruise ship could be seen from the 23rd floor. I went up to look and, although there was practically a 360 degree view, I couldn't spot the sea anywhere. I saw vast tranches of brown and assumed that these were dry land areas. Then I spied the emblem of our cruise ship in the middle of one of these brown tranches and this brought the realisation that the ocean is brown here.

I thought this was just a trick of light, but when I embarked the ship the following morning the waters were still muddy brown, and were still so as we sailed to Uruguay.

I don't know why this is - perhaps someone can explain.........

I have exhibited one pic here, but there is also one on my tips page which shows the view of the ship from a distance in these brown waters.

Many thanks to VT members gercanz and msocolin for explaining the murky waters to me. It turns out that I wasn't on the Atlantic ocean at all, but instead the estuary of the Rio de la Plata, some 200km wide and perhaps the widest in the world.

BIG TOURIST TRAP

by jlanza29 about Galer?as Pac?fico

This might be on of the biggest tourist trap in the world....They claim to offer competitive prices but that was not the case when I started calculating the prices into US dollars....Ask questions, the stores don't sell anything that one who travels a lot hasn't seen before !!!! NOTHING !!!!!!!!
