Essential Travel Tips
Master the SUBE Card: Purchase a SUBE card immediately upon arrival for easy and affordable access to buses and subways. You can buy and load it at kiosks and subway stations.
Embrace Late Dining: Argentines typically dine much later than in many other countries, with dinner often starting at 9 PM or later. Plan your meals accordingly.
Currency Exchange (Blue Market): Research the 'blue dollar' exchange rate for better value, but always exercise caution and use reputable, safe methods. Carry both cash and cards.
Safety Smart: Buenos Aires is generally safe, but be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded tourist areas and on public transport. Avoid walking alone at night in less-trafficked areas.
Learn Basic Spanish Phrases: While English is understood in tourist areas, knowing a few Spanish phrases (greetings, thank you, ordering food) will greatly enhance your experience and interactions with locals.
Walk Everywhere: Buenos Aires is a highly walkable city with beautiful architecture. Wear comfortable shoes, as you'll likely be doing a lot of walking.
Reservations for Popular Restaurants: For highly sought-after parrillas like Don Julio or La Cabrera, make reservations well in advance to avoid long waits.
