Buenos Aires

Pros: Beautiful blending of Europe and South America
Cons: It's so far away!

To get to Antarctica, you have to go through either New Zealand or Argentina. If, however, you also want to see the Falklands and South Georgia Island, New Zealand doesn’t make much sense. And if you add to the equation friends and family in Buenos ...

Pros: Great food, shopping, sights, people, open green spaces, and practically free!
Cons: none

We visited Buenos Aires in August 2004 with a bargain basement package from Traveland. The only basement thing about this trip was the $749 price including taxes for air from Miami, 5 nights at the 5 star Marriott Hotel including breakfast, transfers, ...

Pros: The history, the culture, the architecture! Great food and world-class shopping! Affordable prices!
Cons: Traffic!

It took just a few days for Buenos Aires to win my heart and secure its place among my favorite cities in the world. Sure, I did my share of reading about Argentina's capital city, but it somehow did not prepare me for what I found during our recent ...

Pros: There are a few great things to buy
Cons: Buenos Aires can be expensive

While visiting Buenos Aires, there are a few things that you should strongly consider if you plan to do any shopping. Although up until the recent political unrest the Argentina Peso was on par with the US Dollar, meaning 1 peso = 1 $$$, and things were...

Pros: Some of the finest food in the world. Fun Town, wonderful scenery.
Cons: BA quite run down. Long flight.

We flew into Buenos Aires after a terrible flight on one of Alitalia's more antiquated aircraft so I was looking forward to staying in Buenos Aires, if for no other reason than to plant my feet on Terra Firma. The airport itself (Ezeiza) is reasonably ...

Pros: The city, the women, the atmosphere
Cons: transportation (only cause I didn't understand spanish)

Where to start.....I have to start off by saying this was the best trip of my entire life so far. This trip to Buenos Aires was a last minute decision for me and I had to prepare the night before and the day of my flight. This consisted of doing my ...

Pros: Beautiful, inexpensive (at times absurdly cheap).
Cons: Many hours in the sky

Go figure, apparently there is life 12 hours flight time south from New York, and now I can personally say that the maps don’t lie. Argentina does exist.

I'm back from my Thanksgiving 5-day trip to Buenos Aires. Leaving sunny skies and...

Pros: Fabulous Food, Warm People, Great Exchange Rate

Saturday 9/15: Travel Day We arose at 6am at the Miami airport hotel we’d procured (Miami Airport Hilton –VERY nice!) to give us (okay…ME) ample time to be caffeinated, spackled, coiffed and sprayed for the for the 14 hour trip to Buenos ...

Pros: Classy, cultural and (at the moment) cheap.
Cons: The current economic situation continues to plague the nations spirit.

Argentina's capital conjures up romantic notions borne out of its reputation as the 'Paris of the South'. Sultry evenings spent in a grand ballroom filled with the impeccably dressed engaged in intricate tango moves while champagne flows Amazon like. The...

Pros: Best beef in the world. World class wines. Loved the latin culture.
Cons: Long flight from Denver

After reading and planning we finally decided to take a trip over Thanksgiving to Buenos Aires. We started the tradition of traveling over Thanksgiving about 10 years ago. Our son got married and they would spend Thanksgiving with his wife's family. ...

Pros: Very inexpensive, extremely friendly people, lots to see and do
Cons: language barrier at times(a little spanish goes a long way though), diesel fumes

My wife and I were in Buenos Aires(B.A.) for a week in September of 2002. With the dollar so strong against the Peso we figured it was a good time to visit. Having visited almost every major European and American city we figured it was time to go to...

Pros: Mix of Europe and Manhattan at a 50% to 75% discount. Friendly and safe.
Cons: Somewhat difficult to get to places outside of BA. Limited flights.

Buenos Aires. The name conjures up the thoughts of gauchos, beautiful leather goods, and that most sensual of dances, the tango. Buenos Aires is all of that, but so much more. We have had Buenos Aires on the list of destinations for some time, but ...

Pros: Cheap, friendly, safe city, nice food and the women are beautiful.
Cons: English not widely spoken.

I went to Buenos Aires in Feb 2002 just before the Peso was officially floated. Even in that time of uncertainty all pesos withdrawn from money machines were converted at a very reasonable market rates. Credit cards are widely accepted. The US dollar is...

Pros: great atmosphere, tango, beef, pretty people, easy currency exchange rate
Cons: not cheap

Ah, Buenos Aires! I've been there three times, and am more enthused about the city each time I visit it! Unfortunately, I haven't seen any other parts of Argentina other than Buenos Aires, but let me tell you it's hard to top this city in my book. I...

Pros: so much to see and do, no need to rent a car, great food, full of history and culture
Cons: not the ideal destination for those with physical disabilities, beef is their primary mainstay, so vegetarians will need to seek other eating options

Let's play a word association game. I say a phrase, and you say the first thing that comes to mind. Ready? Buenos Aires. I'll bet "tango" was your most impulsive response. But Buenos Aires' personality reaches far beyond the scope of...
