Frequently asked questions
About Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, is known for its European architecture, vibrant culture, and passionate tango performances. The currency used in Buenos Aires is the Argentine Peso. The city is a melting pot of influences, with Spanish, Italian, and indigenous cultures blending together. Visitors can explore historic neighborhoods like San Telmo and Recoleta, or enjoy the bustling nightlife in Palermo. Don't miss trying traditional Argentine dishes like empanadas and asado, a delicious barbecue feast.
When to visit
The best time to visit Buenos Aires is during the spring (September to November) and fall (March to May) when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summers (December to February) can be hot and humid, while winters (June to August) are mild but can be rainy. The city comes alive with festivals and events throughout the year, so check the calendar for special celebrations.
Getting around
Getting around Buenos Aires is easy with its extensive public transportation system, including buses, subways, and taxis. The city is also very walkable, with many attractions located close to each other. For a unique experience, take a ride on the iconic vintage trams known as 'colectivos'. Renting a bike is another popular way to explore the city and its many parks and bike lanes.
Traveller tips
When visiting Buenos Aires, be sure to try the local mate tea and indulge in some alfajores, a sweet treat. Keep an eye out for pickpockets in crowded areas and use caution when using ATMs. Learn a few basic Spanish phrases to communicate with locals, as English may not be widely spoken. Tipping is customary in restaurants and cafes, usually around 10%. Lastly, be prepared for late-night dining and nightlife, as dinner is typically eaten after 9 pm.
