    Newcomer Trip to Buenos Aires

    I also recommend visiting Puerto Madero, there you will find the Puente de la Mujer, the Fragata Sarmiento (which is a museum ship which I recommend visiting), the area of the docks has a lot of bars and restaurants where you will find a good level in general (or at least higher prices in the...

    Please get me hyped up for Buenos Aires

    recently spent a month in Bueons Aires and loved it! You're most likely staying in Palermo because that's where all the tourists stay, and it's a super neighborhood. I was warned about muggings, but the sidewalks were always busy until late and I was never the only woman walking alone so it...

    Newcomer Things to do in buenos aires

    I went when I was a teenager, I didn't understand a damn thing about politics and Perón seemed like a genius to me. I loved it, but it also had a lot to do with the fact that I was listening to Orgullo Argentino in the background while I toured it. I think I'm going today and it doesn't move me...

    Newcomer Things to do in buenos aires

    but that 88 does not leave you in Lobos town? It's not very close to the lagoon, unless you want to pay for a taxi, of course.

    Trip Reports The rail infrastructure in Buenos Aires is poorly designed.

    Most people walk down the road to avoid paying. Eventually this will increase exponentially if the ticket is adjusted to a market price. This is precisely explained by the fact that it is done at the points, where there is usually less control, and there are no guards that although they will not...

    Trip Reports What to add to Buenos Aires trip?

    Salta is great! My favorite place in Argentina for sure. I would personally do three days there and visit Iguazu as well (100% worth seeing). Mendoza is great if you like wine, but I didn't really find it all that interesting as someone who only mildly enjoys wine. Could also fit in a day trip...
