ARGENTINA 101 | Everything You Need to Know Before Coming (31 tips)

[@germanbrandeburgo5925]

As an Argentinian, I can say that everything Nicki said in this video is 100% spot on! The smallest correction I will make is that, while true that ordering water at a restaurant will result in you getting bottled water that you have to pay for, you can instead ask specifically for tap water (agua de la canilla /ka-NEE-sha/) and they will bring you a glass free of charge.

[@robertsears3737]

Ok...I am just a guy from New Jersey. I came to Beunos Aires in 2016 and Santiago, Chilie at the same time. It was really an overnight decision...talk about it at a bar at 8 p.m. At 700 Am...you are on a plane. Actually on Route to see the Stones in Santiago of the opening night of the south American tour...south America is really really special..talk about fans...I probably have around 500 American concerts under my belt. You go to Santiago and actually survive...you travel to Beunos Aires to see the Rolling Stones.....I have to say one thing...the fans are second to none...Beunos Aires...was especially..probably..most likely...the craziest crowd ever..a really grass roots fan base...quite frankly you made Philadelphia look like sleepers...I will have to deal with that later

[@benjaminridgway]

This is such a good video, and one of the best balanced videos I've seen about visiting argentina. The outlet/plug issue is a nightmare (I'm married to an Argentinian and I worked and lived there many years), but it still a pain when you move apartments. The envase thing confused me so much when I first arrived - I never saved the ticket. Great hints for the conjugation - I live in Spain now but I retain my Argentinian accent and verb forms - but these are very useful hints. Totally true also about the differences in European and Argentinian (architecture/cafe) culture; it's completely unique. I never had any security issues in Buenos Aires when I lived there, even walking around with my cellphone in my hand, and when I was there in February 2023 to visit family, but obviously being aware of possible risks. A slight update is that there is a tourist rate for foreign card payments - so you get the blue rate, although it is returned afterwards. I always drank the tap water (but it came from a storage unit on top of the building which often had the lids off, so potential dead pigeon water). Nevertheless, I was never unwell. Enjoy Argentina, it's a great country.

[@carlosdcardona5676]

HAHAHAHA I love it, I'm an Argentinian but I really like seeing the point of view of a foreigner in this case Nicki who is American or as we Argies say (una Yankee) LOL!!! We have our positives and negatives like any big country with big cities but, to any foreigner who is thinking of visiting my country!!! I can assure it's a quite safe country with LOTS to see and we Argies like to show our country and culture to any person so all are welcome or bienvenidos!!! BTW if you happen to have a friend in Argentina when you visit they will want you to stay with them and not in a hotel, it's part of our culture! Good work Nicki and cheers to you!!!

[@spacecowboy2483]

As an argentinian it is fascinating for me to see what calls the attention of foreigneers when visiting our country. The fact you got surprised by dog walkers was a new one for me, but I guess it's true, I haven't seen something like that in any other country I've been. Regarding right of way, legally pedestrians have priority over anything else. Unfortunately, in our country sometimes laws are taken as suggestions rather than ubreakable rules that must be followed cumpolsorily. Great video!

[@53toddk]

Nicki politely failed to mention that those dog walkers usually fail to clean up after their dogs. After traveling in about 50 countries and hundreds of cities over the last 40 years, I'd say BA is a strong contender for "Dogshit Capital of the World". Even so, it is a great city that is well worth visiting. You'll need to frequently check the sidewalk in front of you.

Thank you so much! Somehow I missed this comment before, sorry for the delay!❤️

[@omargj1]

The question about cash is mostly if you have an Argentinian issued credit card it could be preferable to cash since the huge inflation rate, since when you pay the card (some days or weeks later) the inflation may have increased the price around 8% or even 10% but also most shops started to add a 10% when paying with CC or a discount when paying with cash, to compensate fgor the money they may be losing in a few days due to the inflation, with a foreign card to make things worse you get the official exchange rate and you get at best half of the money, it would be the opposite way for Argentinians using an Argentinian credit card abroad, you pay in dollars at the oficial exchange rate and that may look like a great deal, but then you have aditional taxes and you end paying even higher than at the unoficial exchage rate, for example today July 5 the official exchange rate in 1 dollar for 271 pesos the unoficial (blue) is 492 pesos and the turista (what an Argentian have to pay when uses a CC to pay in dollars ) is 541 pesos. And it's all the fault of a corrupt and incompetent goverment. So for any foreiner visiting Argentina, bring Dolars, Euros, etc, then here look where you can get the unoficial exchange rate and use cash, your money will be worth at least twice than if you go for the official exchange or attempt to pay with a credit card.

Very, very good video. In 2010 I bought an apt in Palermo near Plz Italia. Now I live in Colegiales. Two things I would add to your video.. a great app to navigate the City, Como Llego' and of course the porteno obsession with Dulce de Leche ice cream or ice cream in general. Nos vemos..

[@NickiPostsTravelStuff]

Hahahah absolutely! A total obsession. Thanks for the suggestions! :)

When you said Spanish in Buenos Aires is different from what you learned at school is because the Spanish in BA is full loaded of slang basically words of Italian influence. And it also have a name that way of speaking which is called Lunfardo Dialect. Example Beer is Cerveza in Spanish but Birra in Lunfardo; to work is trabajar but Laborar in Lunfardo; Money es dinero but Guita in Lunfardo .and so on.

[@NickiPostsTravelStuff]

There is slang in every language, so that is actually not the reason. The reason I said it's different is because in school we learn with "tu" instead of "Vos," and we learn the "ll" as "y" and not the "sh" of Buenos Aires.

Some slang words have more than one mean= forro can mean 1) dumb or 2) preservative.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

@cygnusatratus6004, Yes but I would say the translation into English for “forro” is more like “useless” rather than “dumb”. Also I believe condom is the word you’re intending rather than preservative.

Nicki, departing US to Brazil , then a couple of days in Buenos Aires, then flying to medellin (colombia) and then back to the U.S // any insights for YELLOW FEVER CARD...haven't taken the shot.

Your videos are just incredibly helpful!! Full of information... I love them!!! Regarding regional or long distance buses schedule, I would suggest using sites like Plataforma 10. Also, keep in mind that bus schedules only come online with a month in advance aproximately. So, if you need to check a bus schedule for later than that, I'd say, check the schedule for the same day of the week you're planning to travel, but within the next month. Most bus companies keep the same schedule for same days. For instance, you will be traveling on a Thursday but in three months time, do a search for any Thursday within the next month. It can happen that they change it, but I've been doing this for years now and it works most of the times. I hope this works!!

Thank you so much, Eva!! :) And thank you for the great tip!
