 | Buenos Aires Tourist Traps | Tips 1 - 10 of 56 |  | Popular Tourist Traps | Miscellaneous Tourist Traps Tips | All Tips (56) This place is tourist hell. A lot like Times Square in New York. You have people come here because its the place everyone says to go and see. It is also located well and is a place you'll walk past to get to other places you want to go.
Walk. Look. But realize most things you buy here can be had elsewhere cheaper.
Go to Onze for your leathers. Leave a Comment

If you go to San Telmo, be prepared to be asked constantly for money. Kids usually work in the weekends around the park and the cafes.
If you really have to go to San Telmo try to go in a weekday. The cafes are empty and lovely. There's always a gentelman singing tangos in the middle of the square and you might get to see somebody dancing!
As I said before try to go in a week day and have a coffee in the main square. Leave a Comment

boring All you do is travel up and down a murky river. There really is not much to see around the place either. They sell snacks on board.
Do it without a tour guide. Just take the taxi there and walk around yourself
Skip this all together or do the Humberto M boat tour. At least you will see some of the sites. Leave a Comment

La Boca at the mouth of the river is just a huge tourist trap. The only locals there are there to sell to the tourists. It was hard to even walk around because of all the tour busses that were there. A local young lady we know said she was sorry to hear that as she had lovely childhood memories of La Boca and hadn't been there for years.
Go early in the day before too many tour busses arrive.
Try the weekend craft fair in the Plaza Francia instead. There are acres of booths with all sorts of arts and crafts.
