Neighborhoods
by acemj
Buenos Aires is the 9th largest city in the world so there's no doubt it's huge and trying to see it all is next to impossible. However, it is also a city of multiple individual neighborhoods, each with its own distinct flavor and character. Some of the most popular and interesting to visitors are La Boca, San Telmo, La Recoleta, Plaza San Martin, Puerto Madera, Plaza de Mayo and Palermo. You'll need at least a week to really explore these areas and since I only had a few days, I limited my exploration to just a few.

October - Umbrella & Jackets a Must
by XKuger
Nothing special If you are travelling in October. I must say that you must pack an umbrella and a jacket or sweater.
Some days it poured rain as through the heavens opened up. Any kind of unbrela would not have helped. Thats just a day you are better of sitting home with hot choclate (even thought its your vacation) Most stuff can be bought. If you have special medication do take it with you. Bringing any kind of Camera is safe. I carried around a professional Nikon camera all over and shot and never felt unsafe.
Its very, very safe. Just don't be a stupid tourist when not shooting throw the camera in the bag. If you plan on going camping. Carry some basic medical kit like cough/cold medication. I had one hell of a experience explaining my symptoms to the pharmacist who knew only spanish.
