🚕 Getting around Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires has two airports: Aeroparque (AEP), by the river and minutes from downtown, for domestic and regional flights, and Ezeiza (EZE), about 35 km out, for international ones. From Ezeiza use the Tienda León bus, an official remís or taxi, or a private transfer. In town, the Subte (metro), buses and trains all run on the SUBE card, which is cheap and essential.
🏨 Where to stay in Buenos Aires
- Palermo — The biggest, trendiest barrio: parks, Palermo Soho and Hollywood, restaurants and nightlife.
- Recoleta — Elegant and stately, with its famous cemetery, museums and French-style architecture.
- San Telmo — The oldest quarter: tango, colonial houses and the Sunday antiques fair.
- Puerto Madero — Old docks reborn as a modern district of towers, waterside walks and restaurants.
💸 How much does it cost?
Buenos Aires can be very affordable or pricey depending on the exchange rate: inflation and the “blue/MEP dollar” mean paying cash in dollars stretches your budget a lot. Plan on 40–80 USD a day, knowing prices shift fast.
🛡️ Is it safe?
Buenos Aires is relatively safe in tourist barrios like Palermo, Recoleta and Puerto Madero, but pickpockets are common: watch your belongings on the Subte, buses and at the San Telmo fair. At night avoid areas like Constitución, La Boca beyond Caminito street, and the south of Retiro.
