What is there to do in and around Buenos Aires?

What places are a must to visit in Buenos Aires?

  • I would like to spend a few days in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I was wondering which places I should not miss visiting. Any advice on where to go? what to do? and how much money I ...show more

  • Answer:

    [sorry for my bad english] You shouldn't miss visiting the Obelisco; Caminito, (is an open air street-museum that recreates the typical conventillos (housing projects) of the early La Boca neighborhood. Every weekend, tango shows are offered by professional tango dancers and singers. Crossroads of Garibaldi and Olavarría streets); Botanical Garden (Av. Santa. Fe 3951 between Las Heras and Santa Fe avenues and República Arabe Siria street. Free admission.); Plaza Dorrego; Puerto Madero (there are lots of dinner places here), and the Japanese Garden. If you go anywhere where you can drink a national infusion called "mate", you shouldn't ask if you have to smoke it, just in case, 'cause as I said before it's an infusion! I've never been in BA, but I live in Argentina and from what I hear on the news, it isn't a very safe city, so try not go to the conurban, stick on the centre. It's summer here, I don't believe public transportation will be as crowded as it is in school period, but when you're here ask for the safest subway to take, because otherwise, an invisible hand will take your purse and you won't notice, people is very skilled here... Remis: They are a sort of limo service that you request by phone to the numerous agencies spread out in the city. These cars are not dentified with a special color. Costanera Norte and Puerto Madero districts are renowned because of their parrilladas (barbecues). Avenida de Mayo surroundings is the place to taste Spanish food. The most traditional pizzas can be found in Corrientes street. Plaza Cortázar, Palermo Hollywood, Recoleta and Las Cañitas neighborhoods offer gourmet specialties: elaborated, refined and exotic dishes. Due to monetary issues, one dollar costs like 3,5 pesos. So with one dollar you can take like four buses costing a ticket $0.90, but by the time you're here it may be costing $1.10. I forgot! If go to La Boca, ask if there's a way to get there without crossing the Riachuelo (is one of the most polluted rivers on the planet, it stinks like hell because of toxic dump)

I recently spent a week in BA, and there are a few things to see that are cool. They have a great zoo where some of the animals roam the grounds and come up to you for treats. Recoleta church is very nice, and there is a wonderful open-air market just to the south. Great bargains and crafty stuff. If you aren't a vegetarian, eat as much steak as you can while you are there. A 1 lb filet mignon with the fixins will run you about $7.00 ! BA is very inexpensive but the people are kinda snooty. (Like any big city I imagine) If you have a chance to go to Uruguay, Montevideo was spectacular and even more inexpensive with super-friendly locals !!! Have a great trip

The most visited destinations in the beautiful city include the San Telmo Market, Costanera Sur, La Boca neighborhood, the center of town with the obelisk and the Tigre delta, a few kilometers away from the urban center.

I wouldn't miss Recoleta Cemetary. And I think you have to experience the tango culture here so check out a tango bar. Subway costs 90 pesos which is about 25 cents USD. You can take a taxi to most parts of the city where tourists go for under 15 pesos ($4.50). I would suggest taking a look at this tips blog for Buenos Aires: http://www.BAtips.com
