Walked all around the city and took cabs by myself. Not fluent in Spanish but was able to get by without much hassle. Enjoyed the city, it is a great place to visit.
I stayed in Palermo and took the graffiti tour with BA Free Walks. It was such a cool way to see the neighborhood and learn a bit about the politics and history of the city. There are also so many cute hipster-y coffee shops in the area. I was surprised at how much I loved the city!!
I’m a foodie, so here’s a list of all my favorite food places. Best restaurants in Buenos Aires: Hierbabuena (a bit expensive, but sooo good and many vegetarian and vegan options) Artemisia (vegetarian) Tandoor (Indian) Loving Hut (vegan) - the one in the center has good burgers, but the one in Palermo is better for dinner Saigon (Vietnamese) Che Taco (Mexican) Best cafes: Obrador (bakery with good coffee) Le Blé (French) Casa Telma Best burgers: El Banco Rojo (burger of the week usually the best) Loving hut Burger Joint (have to try!!) La Puerta Roja Best pizzas: Cosi mi Piace The Pizza Only one true love Sr. Telmo Pizza vegana Also I’m a vegetarian, and I know that Argentine steak is a big part of the experience, so a lot of these places serve meat too. Encuentro Nativo in La Boca (caminito) serves meat so tender you can cut it with a spoon.
I left a piece of my heart in Buenos Aires, absolutely loved it there! I did a bike tour while I was there which was fun, biked all around the city and they showed all the great spots. Also went to recoleta cemetery which was beautiful. I stayed in a hostel when there. Great food and ice cream, especially the steak. Wanted to check out the amazing library while there, but it was closed. There’s a theater where you can take a tango lesson and then go watch a tango show and eat dinner. It was absolutely amazing. You can skip the tango lesson if you want and just do the dinner and tango show. It was lovely.

Itinerary: Viajar desde santiago de Chile a Buenos Aires por Aire Allá alojar en un sector centrico y mas menos economico Visitar lugares de interés -escuela de Danza -Ecoparque -Feria de Santelmo -Barrio Palermo -Tigre Budget: Calculo que gastamos 1. 000. 000 CLP en la estadia de un mes y medio, dos personas, -viajando en Skyairlines -pagando un seguro económico - arrendando x Airb&b un depto de un ambiente barrio Palermo -comprando en el super (Coto) y saliendo a comer esporádicamente. -pagando la mensualidad de la escuela de Danza -contemplando extras como el pcr Accommodation: Me senti segura excepto por un par de ocasiones en las que se notaba la presencia de grupos antifeministas que rayaban las afueras de la escuela de Danza. El precio del transporte bus y subte es impresionantemente barato. En calle Florida se hace el cambio del llamado dolar blue a pesos argentinos que es mucho mas conveniente que cambiar en los puntos oficiales, aunque segun entiendo, se vuelve cada vez menos conveniente. La otra forma que usamos para traspasar dinero chileno a argentino fue por medio de criptomonedas en locales parecidos a Moneygram pero de cripto, para mantener el cambio a Blue. De todas maneras si necesitan mas detalles y consejos pueden escribirme
Itinerary: Recorrí la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Los Bosques de Palermo, el obelisco, San telmo y los bares de Plaza Serrano. La librería el ateneo. Recommendations: No caminar sola de noche. Tratar de estar acompañada, no usar el celular en la calle.
I recommend doing the hop on hop off bus so you can see everything, and then go back to see things that are most interesting to you. Recoleta cemetery and market were great, San Telmo market was good, but didn’t have as many antiques as I had hoped. Definitely do a tango show, but skip the lesson unless you have a partner. A day trip to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay is a must.
Loved Buenos Aires! So many amazing things to do, definitely recommend doing the bike tour on one of the first days. I also recommend going to Iguazu Falls, it's a short flight from BA and the flights are cheap.
In Buenos Aires I highly recommend doing a bike tour with BA Bikes - Tours & Rentals. Go to Café Tortoni, it is a classic! Go to El Desnivel and eat a choripan, its delicious. Visit the San Telmo neighborhood and go to Plaza Dorrego. There you can see tango dancers while having a beer and snacks. The tour of the Teatro Colon, the Evita house, the Recoleta cemetery, these are all very interesting sights. Also, eat alfajores de maicena. These are the most delicious cookies, with coffee in the morning... heaven! Also, you can do a day trip to San Antonio de Areco and visit The Estancia de Areco for a day. We did horseback riding there and then had the most delicious parrillada, and danced to traditional music. It was a great experience!
