Visitor Essentials

  • Getting Around:
    The SUBE card works for all buses, subways, and trains. Taxis are easy to hail—but agree on a fare, and use official rideshare apps when possible.
  • Travel Tips:
  • Exchange money carefully: for the best rate (“blue dollar”), use reputable change houses or trusted locals on Florida Street.
  • Dinner starts late—restaurants fill up after 9pm, and nightlife runs deep into the night.
  • Carry small change for taxis and cafes. Credit cards are widely accepted, but cash is king at markets and small venues.
  • Safety: Stick to the main streets after dark, especially in La Boca and Microcentro. Pickpocketing can occur in tourist areas—use zipped bags.
  • Dress smart-casual, as locals value personal style and appearance.
  • Accommodations:
    Recoleta for elegance, Palermo for nightlife and dining, San Telmo for historical flair, and Microcentro for bustling downtown access.
  • Buenos Aires is a city of grand gestures and everyday magic: join a tango, soak in river sunsets, toast with Malbec, and discover why travelers around the world fall in love with Argentina’s irrepressible capital
