Friendly people, 24-hr city life, VERY walkable city, great food - great city for immersing yourself, especially now that the peso is 3-1 to the dollar
Con

reckless drivers and the fact that you ll want to keep coming back in future trips.
In a nutshell

A mixture of Madrid and Paris, but with a twist!
154 Reviews This is the classic place that all the tourists flock to. The buildings are tiny and thin, painted in odd, bright colors, seemingly randomly selected. The story is that this area, being by the docks was used by new immigrants. The colors were used from discarded paint from the ships they arrived...
196 Reviews Feria Artesanal de la Recoleta features top quality crafts. It takes place in Plaza Francia and has become the city's largest fair, completely taking over all the walkways in the area. Even the Recoleta Cemetery's church gets involved by setting up tables of postcards and religious souvenirs in its...

31 Reviews If you want to experience a great value and can spend a moderate amount of your hard-earned cash, book and dine here. I am not given to exaggeration or effusive behavior (just ask my wife); but our experience was exceptional and worth writing about. Prior to going to Cabaña Las Lilas, on our...
91 Reviews Milonga, 'tango party', is a place or an event where tango is danced; people who frequently go to milongas are sometimes called milongueros. There are endless varieties of milongas available throughout the city every day, with a greater concentration on weekends. Each milonga has its own style,...
16 Reviews A must-go night club! It is a converted mansion in the heart of Buenos Aires, which is chock full of Portenos and tourist. The structure is amazing, with the sweeping staircases and large waiting roms of a Southern mansion. The bathrooms can be hard to find and are small. Lots of tourist and locals....
To/From Airport - A/Desde Aeropuerto
30 Reviews Just got back to Atlanta after my first trip (will definitely return) to Buenos Aires. Chose "Go Airport Taxi" to take me to and from the Ezeiza Airport. They were on time, car was new and comfortable. This is important because it was quite hot outside and AC is a must. Will use them again if/when I...
58 Reviews There are 5 lines in Buenos Aires: A, B, C, D and E. It will take you to almost every place in downtown and surrounding areas. The cost is 0.70 cents (pesos). There are signs everywhere, so you can't get lost. The service is quite good, although kind of hot in the warm seasons. Click on the link...
Calle Florida (Florida street)
35 Reviews This is an advice to all travellers, whenever you are walking downtown, especially at Calle Florida, be very careful. If you're stopping out at Corrientes and Florida, at the front of Burger King, request the cab to leave you before arriving at that spot. There are "kids" opening the doors of the...

Wood, Calabaza (which is NOT plastic, Plata...there are some in glass inside as well but they are not the classic ones...In San Telmo or at the Feria de los...
2 Reviews I always forget to bring meds with me. I have been very very sick the first two times down here and have had trouble finding the meds I want, even with a local who is fluent in both Spanish and English to help me.
8 Reviews If you feel tired of the city and want to see a green space, then Los Bosques de Palermo is a good place. They are located 15 minutes away from downtown and they get packed with locals, mostly at the weekends, who go there to jog, cycle, rollerblade, play football or just sit on the grass and have a...
44 Reviews For all football 'nuts', if you're in Buenos Aires do not miss the opportunity to see a football game. The best and biggest team in town are River Plate whose "Cancha" which is the Porteño term for a stadium play at the 'El Monumental' in the Palermo district of the city. Whilst the football at...
