My wife and I are planning a trip to Buenos Aires in February, and we're curious about handling our expenses. Are credit cards widely accepted? Is it advisable to carry cash? Do they take U.S. dollars?
Forgive this newbie but I'm coming to Buenos Aires for 1 month in a few weeks. I read that foreigners can use their credit cards from their home countries (I am American) and I will get a special exchange rate. I read some old articles and I found these...
