Buenos Aires Travel Guide: 4,773 reviews and 8,874 photos

Buenos Aires is a very cosmopolitan city, with large avenues and a very good nightlife.

It?s really affordable as well, since the economy crashed.

They only annoying thing were these tango dancers who told you the price even before taking the picture.

San Telmo

I stayed in the hostel Inn in San Telmo, the antique-neighbourhood of Buenos Aires. On Sunday's there's an antique market, too. And, of course, the annoying tango-dancers who want to be photographed for a fixed price.

the sorry-side

On the way to La Boca (famous for Maradona)
I saw a more decadent side of the cosmopolitan capital. Passing by here I was glad that I wasn't alone, though poor Argentinians are known to be less violent than Brazilians.

Though there are more and more dangerous places in Buenos Aires, even San Telmo had a shooting when I was there.. So take care!
