"I love Argentina!" Buenos Aires by ddbleu
Buenos Aires Travel Guide: 4,773 reviews and 8,874 photos
As a woman traveling alone, I found the people to be warm and welcoming. The taxi drivers in particular were friendly and appreciative of my attempts to speak Spanish. It's such an affectionate culture. Here is my favorite cab driver Armando, who gave me the Latin goodbye of a kiss on each cheek.
- Pros:A great walking city, so much to see and do, great food, warm people, the dollar goes a long way
- Cons:Grimy and dirty as a big old city under repair, very little English spoken outside of major tourist spots
- In a nutshell:However long you are there, you will wish you had more time!

Haha, yes it is. Hope you are well.
nice comments for such a great city..i will go in just 9 days!!
Nice page. I was in BA around the same time. Too bad you missed the VT meeting on 2/25. That's great you got to see a concert in the Colon Theater. They were all sold out when I went. Took the tour though. Will have to see on my next trip. :)
