I arrived in Buenos Aires and thanks to a few tips I followed I arrived safe during my visit here. I was worried about visiting Buenos Aires since my Spanish is very limited. Though no one seems to speak English here you can still get around without too many problems.
<strong>Tips for Getting from the Airport to Buenos Aires City Center</strong>
I was recommended not to take the public bus since it’s a bit more dangerous taking your luggage. Rather I took a special bus called Manuel Tienda Leon Transfer which for about $10 usd brings you straight to the city center. Of course I had to exchange my cash in the airport, which generally is the worse exchange you will ever get, but still worth it to be safe.
Taking a taxi? You could, but you have to be careful since many will try to rip you off charging you often double the price.
<strong>Booking a Hostel in Buenos Aires Tips</strong>
A hostel always seems like the best idea to me. My hostel is costing me about $10 usd a night for a six bed dorm. Still you can pay about $25 a night and get your own private room, the cost of a 6 bed dorm in the USA. Hostels take old and young. I’m currently stay at the MilHouse Hostel which seems to have a new activity every night. Last night was open mic guitar, though unfortunately I was too tired from the 10 hour flight the night before.
Though I’m here in the winter of Buenos Aires, the weather is still comfortable. I need a light jacket but I find that better than sweating in 80 degrees.
