@@MT-tu8qd Hi! Now is a great time -good weather, a bit hot but not like Summer. November is the time when the Jacaranda blooms (it's a tree like Cherry Blossom but light purple and its petals cover all the streets). Overall, Spring (late September-early December) is a good time but it can rain. Fall (late march-mid june) is another good time. Don't come during Summer (late December-early March), it's really hot and humid. Compared with other South American cities, Buenos Aires is safer, but like other big cities, you should keep your wits about you- don't go around showing your expensive valuables, camera o smartphone in sketchy places or crowded spots, don't go to La Boca at night, visit during the day, the same with San Telmo and the city Center. Most turist places are safe and there's always police but beware of pickpockets, specially in crowded places. I hope I've helped You :)
Un Mundo Pequeño Hello. Thank for the information especially about the hot and humid months. We are planning a trip soon and am trying to find all the information we can. It sounds like a great place and want see that city. Thanks again....
Ah, I just love it when you are filming in places I recognize because I have been there myself ;-) BA is such a colourful city, and with the BEST pizza I ever have eaten!!!
No pizza was the worst part of Buenos Aires, i mean its nice to try it once but not even compared to jist regular pizza. They dont even have pepperoni instead just fresh tomato 😐
@Iván Queirolo yes but not pepperoni or meat. Plus it has alot alot of cheese and in general pizzas there are not as good as regular pizzas like pizza hut dominos or peter piper pizza
BA, my favourite city in the Southern Hemisphere, the Recoleta my favourite barrio, the food and wine is amazing.....and that’s just the tip of the iceberg
My main suggestion would be "dont expect Buenos Aires to be like anywhere else, cause its not even like any other cities in Argentina." Keep your mind open, and adapt yourself to this "multicultural-but all mixed up" kind of living. Way faster than Uruguay, not as fast as any first world city. Its better to embrace all the different and new ways this place has to offer, than complaining about efficiency. Argentinian culture isnt about efficiency, its about comfort, excellent food and being in good company.
Love: the public transit -- both the Subte and buses -- is very good in Buenos Aires, far better than many U.S. cities. And it's pretty affordable and safe, although it can get crowded at certain hours.

I was there in July and it is pretty awesome. I stayed in Palermo near the Carlos Thays garden. Nice, quiet and safe neighborhood but yes, the sidewalks and the doggie doo are bad (though not as bad as in Montevideo.) I can't wait to visit again. Thank you for the video!
I love Buenos Aires. It's a beautiful city, diverse and fascinating. I took buses and the subway everywhere. I only took cabs late at night. I'm a woman and I felt safer there than I do in most large cities in the States. Of course one has to use common sense, but that applies to any big city in the world.
Hi there, I just read your comment and was wondering if you traveled to BA by yourself or with others? I will be spending a few days in BA in Feb 2022 (female solo traveler) and thinking if I made the right decision. Hope so!
Just to recomend to not focus only on Buenos Aires, if travel far away to Argentina, try also the Patagonia or north places (know it isnt a single day trip)
Buenos Aires , New York , Hong Kong, Bangkok , Paris , Same rules apply to all big cities , but i must say the food in Argentina is the best , and yes ask " el Mozo " (waiter ) what dish is good today , he or she will gladly tell you and fill your belly up , he did not mention restaurants have 30 + salads in any Menu, Beef up salad up and few Malbecs , try the Helado charlot ( icecream cake with melted chocolate).. Salud..
I was in BA in September and I think that, generally speaking, the best-looking people in any city I've been to throughout the world, live in Buenos Aires!
About the general lateness you must take into account that Argentina uses +3 Time Region, when Buenos Aries should use +4. So our solar midday is at 13:00. So everything is moved one hour. Industries open at 08:00 but shops and office hours start at 09:00 and banks at 10:00. Banks close at 15:00. In Buenos Aires city normally the shops won't close at 13:00 and open near 16:00. In Buenos Aires shops open at 09:00 and close at 19:00. In shopping malls normally close at 22:00. Supermarkets close at 22:00. The time for lunch is 13:00-14:00 where you'll find most of the clerks in business zones out for lunch. Normal dinner time at home is 20:00 to 22:00, but if you will go out on Friday or Saturday, it may be much later, starting at 21:00 and the meal may last till past midnight. Many people go to cinema or theater and the to have dinner. Some fast food restaurants are even open 24Hs. At Buenos Aires you go to dance at 01:00 in the morning, ending sometimes at 06:00 or later in the morning. You should be able to pay with credit card or "debit card" (the one that takes the money directly from the bank account) in every shop. There is a las about it. But here in Argentina the credit card amounts are payed one month later to the shop, so they are not willing to accept the card. Some deals or offers say "en efectivo" which means "in cash". Traffic in Buenos Aires is a nightmare. Your advise is correct. And don't be tempted by your fellow pedestrians. Some times they start to cross with red light because they are fast and will cross before the car arrives, but you may not be as fast or lucky.
I arrived in BA at 6am after a red eye from Lima and the streets were full of kids who never went to bed after a night of partying! Crazy! Great people, fantastic steaks ( La Estacion), gelato ( Rapa Nui), wines, museums and memorials everywhere, and of course Tango.
Hi Mark !!!Thanks for visiting BA !!! I am from Mendoza. I just wanted to say that if on the entire video I switch the words Buenos Aires by San Francisco, I wouldn't have to change anything. I went to SF I was ripped off, being tipped, several times by cab drivers and they also picked you up if they wanted, I saw dog's presents on several places too. People is terrible scared about bycicles as they drive bikes with no brakes and people has been hit by them. The service was sometimes good and many times not that good. And we are talking about one of the nicest cities in America. If I speak about LA, I would say 'don't go to LA'. In LA there was this lady and was grabbed by the hair in the car and a guy stole her purse and some papers. But it's the world we live on and the same things happens everywhere. Anywhere you go, you need to take the same cautions. Sorry to say this and it was nice that you and your family enjoyed Argentina.
Welcome to my city. I really enjoyed your explanations about the "love" and "hate" of Buenos Aires. And you know what, the hates are totally true, even for me that I've been living in BA for 43 years now. But, on the other hand I should say that I really love my city. It has something special, not because I'm from here, but you can tell. I've been in many great cities like Chicago or Manhattan to name some of your cities in the US, and really love them. But BA my friend has that passion that still remains over the years. Glad to hear that you enjoyed mi city. Hope you come visit BA again soon. Greetings!
That’s the important thing about these videos: the “hates” are really just culture shocks, inconveniences, or maybe safety things. They’re really minor in the grand scheme of things. If Mark didn’t love these places, he wouldn’t keep coming back and making videos.
I'm from Buenos Aires, and the video was on point. The only thing that has changed a little since it was filmed, it's the broken sidewalks. This year the city government has been repairing the sidewalks and changing the broken floor tiles.
Currently living in BA, maintenance is not particular trair of the argentines, most buildings don't even get paint jobs at all, it's sad considering the great architectural work that most of them have. About the side walks what i said before holds tru, in the more posh areas you see work being done (seems like only the state does sidewalks here) almost no maintenance at all in the working class parts of the city. Avoid deiating from the more touristy parts if you have weak ankles, or if you're old, sprained ankles are common occurance over here, or worse.
Te agradezco tu honestidad, los argentinos somos muy conscientes de lo bueno y lo malo que tenemos, ojalá regreses a visitarnos y conozcas la Patagonia, regards from Neuquén city
i love this daddy bear. I had no idea he had been a resident in BA. I feel he was downing porteños a bit, though. All in all, Argentines are very friendly and warm, we will chat you up like it's nobody's business, we love getting to know people from different parts of the world. In the clip, he didn't show amazing areas such as the old docking part, Puerto Madero, which is now a super exclusive highrise district bordering on the River Plate. Also, some rich neighbourhoods like Belgrano, where you can find areas (Belgrano R) with a marked English influence, let us not forget Buenos Aires is the only place in the world where Harrods ever opened a store! And likewise, the clock installed on top of the Torre Monumental (formerly known as Tower of the English) is twin to that inside Big Ben, pretty amazing. Other interesting sights are Caballito, where you can ride a tramway, Reserva Ecológica and Costanera Sur (a huge wild heath in terrain that was formed by excavations near the river and its subsequent natural deposits of soil), pedestrian streets such as Florida, Plaza de mayo with the colonial remains of times gone by, the Pink House (where the president takes office), also nearby you have Tigre where you can go on kaiak trips and get in touch with nature around the river islands. Food is superb and varied, you can have a great meal for US$10, taxis are very cheap (a 50 block ride might cost you US$3), there's a subway that covers most of the touristic area (in fact BsAs had a subway system before NYC or London did). There's also Chinatown, Palermo chico (where you can find mansions galore), Palermo Soho (fashion district), Palermo viejo (old style barrio architecture). Bs As has so many perks! and then there's tango, people's passion for everything football (Lionel Messi, Maradona), but also you can find the best polo teams in Palermo and rugby is very popular amongst the well-to-do. About the pee and poop, yes, in fact many people litter and that is not cool, but very haute couture places like Paris are filled with bird, dog, cat and people's piss, without anyone raising an eyebrow (not to mention pollution, which is disgusting) And is Bs. As. dangerous? You can get robbed in Paris or London, too. However, a few days ago a British tourist was shot and killed during a mugging incident, a very tragic situation, which is not common but due to a rise in poverty there has been an increase of violent assaults, so be aware and exercise caution.
Yes very and I loved their beef!!! You can taste the freshness! I had really enjoyed Mar Del Plata as it was winter and I prefer it cooler! Great video and you do a great delivery video! 🇺🇸 🇦🇷
You guys need to also visit my country Kenya and see the big five, Lions, Elephants, Giraffes, rhinos, buffalos and plenty of other wonderful wild animals, wild beasts migration that is part of seven wonders of the world. We have a beautiful beach line on coastal region of Kenya where you can enjoy all cultural activities around and also jump with the maasai communities. There quite a lot more to enjoy here.
As regards patience in restaurants, going to the table to offer you something else or just bringing you the bill is not something usual. You have to ask for it, which is ok for me. I’m Argentinian, but I have travelled several times to the US and the fact that the waiter hangs around me all the time and insisting me with the bill makes me feel uncomfortable. Another thing that I would like to point out is that the city is much safer than it used to be, it’s still dangerous but our mayor has done a great work
Amazing city (Compared to Texas Steak places---BA is cheap!! And---beef is so much better). For a great experience---try Don Julio in the Palermo District.
I love Buenos Aires. The weather, the parks, the music, the wines. Taxi is a issue in all Latin America for tourists. Better to use Uber. I was robbed in the center as well. Take care of your purse and cellphone. They are fast. Good video! Tks
Having lived 23 years of my life in Buenos Aires, as a porteño that now lives in Holland and comes back as a tourist I have never ever seen a person been ran over by a car. Anywhere in Buenos Aires.
you'll love the nightlife. I understand you travelled with kids, but Baires nightlife is available every night, not just the weekend. And don't go there until 2am, it'll run until sunrise. Catch a tango show. And a rock show, both small bands or if a huge band comes around, you'll love the atmosphere. You'll love how easy it is to get around using public transportation, the subways (subte). You'll also love shopping in Florida and the Palermo mall. You'll also love catching a football game! You'll dislike if people bump into you by accident, they won't apologize.
Hi from Argentina! Indeed, we don't tip taxi drivers, and the tip culture isn't installed that much in the country. Even if you go for a meal at a restaurant sometimes they will charge you for "cubierto" which basically means service charge and here we consider that as the tip for the waiter, so we don't leave any more money. And as for paying with dollars, be aware that we have 2 currency markets, the official one and the black market, usually if you go to exchange the dollars to pesos you will get a better exchange rate than the one they'll give you at a shop when trying to pay with dollars!
Spectacular city. So much to see and do and so much history. Visited in February and fell in love with it, even with all it's peculiarities. (Who eats dinner at 10pm???). The memories of the steak I had in a mom and pop Parilla will be with me till my last breath.
I'm not that far away... Just Ouro Preto. By someone's recommendation. All I can say - the place is amazing. Thanks for the tip and have an amazing time in Buenos Aires! :)

People of Rio de la Plata ( Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Rosario..) are like Sicilians who speak Spanish. Italian influence is huge, even the way we speak Spanish has an Italian sound.

You have hit the nail on the head with this video. I have been living here for 11 years and the frustrations you mention still annoy me from time to time. It is however a great place to visit and live and the Argentine people are very friendly.
hi Steven, it's like saying Americans are loud or Americans love guns. Many of you folks are in fact loud and so, for all intent and purposes, love guns (or the right to bear them). Customer service in the US is superb but also fake in that always a big tip is expected, so horses for courses. In Argentina, we are not punctual, we have a relaxed, laid-back attitude, we live in a time capsule, life is not as fast paced, not everything is scheduled and we tend to be informal in our interactions, meaning sometimes they'll bail on you or stand you up or be late or run into pickets protesting some regulations that downed our meagre salaries even more. So you have to take it with a grain of salt and understand where we're coming from. As you lot, we have strengths and weaknesses. We're extremely friendly people, warm and caring, solidarity is ubiquious. Just comprehend, our culture is not big on getting business done, we're usually not sorted, it takes us a while and we enjoy the meandering paths life takes us on.
Exactly! I'm from Northern Europe and I think South American lifestyle would suit me so much better haha! I've never visited but my heart has always been there ❤️ Cannot wait to finally go when I'll get the possibility.
@@marililll If you ever visit Argentina, remeber that it's not only Buenos Aires but also other great places like Bariloche, Mendoza, Epuyen, Mar Del Plata, El Glaciar Perito Moreno, Las Cataratas Del Iguazù and so many more incredible locations! :))
Wolters, I wanted to Say that this is the Video that I have been waiting for my whole life. I want to visit Buenos Aires and I wanted to know what to expect when I get there. Thanks for making this Video. Yes, I like Argentinian Food... I had Argentinian friends in New York and they made Food for me and it was delicious, especially their Steaks.
@@AzureKite191 yes I'm in America, my ticket cost me $1400 including a nice Hotel near the Obelisco. If you buy your tickets three months prior to your trip you can get it even cheaper.
@@AzureKite191 I baught the airfare two weeks before the flight, I wanted a bigger plane, I also wanted a Hotel Chain I know instead of a pension, and I wanted a location closer to downtown. You can get cheaper fares if you don't mind flying smaller airplanes, making more layovers, getting a Hostel and buying months in advance.
Bring summer outfits and be prepared because it will be really hot and humid hahaha. Especially if you are planning on taking the subte to move around the city. But nightlife it's best on summer if you want to go to bars or clubbing!
Wow what a beautiful and colorful city! Thanks for another great video Mark! Might be a very broad question, but in short, what are some of the ways BA, Argentina compares to Santiago, Chile?
They're very different cities. Santiago is in a mountain region, while Buenos Aires is in the plain terrain of the "Pampa". Architecture is also very different: Santiago has a more "glass and steel" modern downtown and BA has a very eclectic mix of (mainly) European stiles, heritage of its huge immigration process in the late 19th and first half of the 20th centuries.
Chequeando que dicen de Buenos Aires, bastante acertado su comentario y comprensible su opinión sobre el "hace lo que quieras, después arreglamos", somos muy así.
Its good to hear about the bad, because i wouldve thought it was just happening to me...lol! I work for an airline, so I've been there twice but were very quick trips, so i didnt experience that much...i want to come back and stay longer!
As an argentine i recommend you to visit my country, but not so many days in BA. I think 3/4 its OK. The real beatifull places are in Patagonia like Bariloche, In Cuyo Mendoza, the norte like Salta and Cataratas del Iguazú in northeast part.
Nice video! I live in Buenos Aires and it's one of the few videos I've seen that speak the truth about the good and the bad without making assumptions. Great job!!!
Thanks for the video, Mark! I'm considering living in B.A. in 2021. Safety is one of the reasons I don't live in my hometown of São Paulo, Brazil. I don't see B.A. being any worse but I've heard it's gotten worse since I've been there many years back. Will have to see it for myself, I guess!
I spent a year there in the 1990s and my family all emigrated from BA, and it’s one of the few places in the worlds where I (a New Yorker) could have seen myself living and making a life. I’m glad I didn’t - the economy the last 30 years has been so badly mismanaged that the average Argentine is basically a victim of the upper classes - but it has that open new world America feeling that I didn’t get living in Europe or Asia.
En el segundo día de mi estancia en BA, me asaltaron, de un manotazo me arrancaron el celular. Pero yo sí vuelvo, Buenos Aires para mi, es la ciudad más hermosa de toda America. 🙂
Lamento que te haya pasado eso. Lamentablemente hay muchos ladrones, sobretodo en zonas turísticas y hay que tener cuidado. Pero me alegro que la hayas pasado lindo! Espero que puedas volver algún día!
Time to update the video on the money situation - Do not bring small bills.... bring $100 dollar bills to exchange for the blue Peso. Screw the Taxi's , get an Uber. .super cheap
I grew up in Buenos Aires, I lived in Banfield, and yes crime is bad, the people not being on time I can not speak but myself don't like to be late for anything or anyone and last but not least my favorite ice cream flavor are dulce de leche and sambayon. I left BS AS in 99 went back on 08 for like a week I am due for another visit. Thank you for this video lots of memories.
These days are little hot weather, you may go ti palermo hood and other places, there is a city tour by bus which is great by the way, just be carefull during the night,👍👍👍
Lateness is an advantage when booking a restaurant. For example, 7pm is considered late dinner for me but it’s very early for BA. So it was easy to get a table before the crowd arrives. Dog poops, yes, that’s something I noticed about BA - the owners don’t pick up after their dogs. Another dislike which was not mentioned is the currency exchange. There are no money changers except the banks and it is so difficult. You got to go during banking hours, get a number correctly and wait for your turn. Oh yes, bring your passport.
My man, Buenos Aires is Called "The city of Fury" or "The city that never sleeps" because of the rithm, most of clubs close at 8am in the morning, and we dinner at 10+ pm.
Hello!! You always have awesome videos! Thank you for sharing. I have a question, if you don’t mind I like to know what you did to be able to go to college in Buenos Aíres. I hope you can answer. Thank you.

I am from Buenos Aires and I have lived here for 33 years so I can tell everything you said it's true. Really good video!!
One of my favourite cities EVER! Went first on 1995. Didn't meet many tourists except a few Swiss, Brazilians and Israelis. Want to go back very much.
I was in BA in September and I think that, generally speaking, the best-looking people in any city I've been to throughout the world, live in Buenos Aires!
They really are good looking. I will definitely agree with the people being very attractive.
Not better looking than Tel Avivis, but yes, very good looking people.
Wow, thank you! :p
too skinny
@@Rachel--PMHNP Well if you are from the states were half of the population is obese may be..
Your videos really help travelers like me so much. Thank you Mark for making all these videos for us to learn from
Thank you. I'm glad I can help. Big travel hug
Fair review. I was born in Buenos Aires, this is where I live and I can confirm that everything you say is true!
Im so glad you liked my city!
Buenos Aires is really a city worth visiting...
Come visit Buenos Aires!
About the general lateness you must take into account that Argentina uses +3 Time Region, when Buenos Aries should use +4. So our solar midday is at 13:00. So everything is moved one hour. Industries open at 08:00 but shops and office hours start at 09:00 and banks at 10:00. Banks close at 15:00. In Buenos Aires city normally the shops won't close at 13:00 and open near 16:00. In Buenos Aires shops open at 09:00 and close at 19:00. In shopping malls normally close at 22:00. Supermarkets close at 22:00.
The time for lunch is 13:00-14:00 where you'll find most of the clerks in business zones out for lunch. Normal dinner time at home is 20:00 to 22:00, but if you will go out on Friday or Saturday, it may be much later, starting at 21:00 and the meal may last till past midnight. Many people go to cinema or theater and the to have dinner.
Some fast food restaurants are even open 24Hs. At Buenos Aires you go to dance at 01:00 in the morning, ending sometimes at 06:00 or later in the morning.
You should be able to pay with credit card or "debit card" (the one that takes the money directly from the bank account) in every shop. There is a las about it. But here in Argentina the credit card amounts are payed one month later to the shop, so they are not willing to accept the card. Some deals or offers say "en efectivo" which means "in cash".
Traffic in Buenos Aires is a nightmare. Your advise is correct. And don't be tempted by your fellow pedestrians. Some times they start to cross with red light because they are fast and will cross before the car arrives, but you may not be as fast or lucky.
I arrived in BA at 6am after a red eye from Lima and the streets were full of kids who never went to bed after a night of partying! Crazy! Great people, fantastic steaks ( La Estacion), gelato ( Rapa Nui), wines, museums and memorials everywhere, and of course Tango.
Hi Mark !!!Thanks for visiting BA !!! I am from Mendoza. I just wanted to say that if on the entire video I switch the words Buenos Aires by San Francisco, I wouldn't have to change anything. I went to SF I was ripped off, being tipped, several times by cab drivers and they also picked you up if they wanted, I saw dog's presents on several places too. People is terrible scared about bycicles as they drive bikes with no brakes and people has been hit by them. The service was sometimes good and many times not that good. And we are talking about one of the nicest cities in America. If I speak about LA, I would say 'don't go to LA'. In LA there was this lady and was grabbed by the hair in the car and a guy stole her purse and some papers. But it's the world we live on and the same things happens everywhere. Anywhere you go, you need to take the same cautions. Sorry to say this and it was nice that you and your family enjoyed Argentina.
Welcome to my city. I really enjoyed your explanations about the "love" and "hate" of Buenos Aires. And you know what, the hates are totally true, even for me that I've been living in BA for 43 years now. But, on the other hand I should say that I really love my city. It has something special, not because I'm from here, but you can tell. I've been in many great cities like Chicago or Manhattan to name some of your cities in the US, and really love them. But BA my friend has that passion that still remains over the years. Glad to hear that you enjoyed mi city. Hope you come visit BA again soon. Greetings!
That’s the important thing about these videos: the “hates” are really just culture shocks, inconveniences, or maybe safety things. They’re really minor in the grand scheme of things. If Mark didn’t love these places, he wouldn’t keep coming back and making videos.
I'm from Buenos Aires, and the video was on point. The only thing that has changed a little since it was filmed, it's the broken sidewalks. This year the city government has been repairing the sidewalks and changing the broken floor tiles.
Currently living in BA, maintenance is not particular trair of the argentines, most buildings don't even get paint jobs at all, it's sad considering the great architectural work that most of them have.
About the side walks what i said before holds tru, in the more posh areas you see work being done (seems like only the state does sidewalks here) almost no maintenance at all in the working class parts of the city. Avoid deiating from the more touristy parts if you have weak ankles, or if you're old, sprained ankles are common occurance over here, or worse.
Lascveredas se rompen por las raíces de los arboles.....es difícil mantener eso sano con todo arbolado
Te agradezco tu honestidad, los argentinos somos muy conscientes de lo bueno y lo malo que tenemos, ojalá regreses a visitarnos y conozcas la Patagonia, regards from Neuquén city

i love this daddy bear. I had no idea he had been a resident in BA. I feel he was downing porteños a bit, though. All in all, Argentines are very friendly and warm, we will chat you up like it's nobody's business, we love getting to know people from different parts of the world. In the clip, he didn't show amazing areas such as the old docking part, Puerto Madero, which is now a super exclusive highrise district bordering on the River Plate. Also, some rich neighbourhoods like Belgrano, where you can find areas (Belgrano R) with a marked English influence, let us not forget Buenos Aires is the only place in the world where Harrods ever opened a store! And likewise, the clock installed on top of the Torre Monumental (formerly known as Tower of the English) is twin to that inside Big Ben, pretty amazing. Other interesting sights are Caballito, where you can ride a tramway, Reserva Ecológica and Costanera Sur (a huge wild heath in terrain that was formed by excavations near the river and its subsequent natural deposits of soil), pedestrian streets such as Florida, Plaza de mayo with the colonial remains of times gone by, the Pink House (where the president takes office), also nearby you have Tigre where you can go on kaiak trips and get in touch with nature around the river islands. Food is superb and varied, you can have a great meal for US$10, taxis are very cheap (a 50 block ride might cost you US$3), there's a subway that covers most of the touristic area (in fact BsAs had a subway system before NYC or London did). There's also Chinatown, Palermo chico (where you can find mansions galore), Palermo Soho (fashion district), Palermo viejo (old style barrio architecture). Bs As has so many perks! and then there's tango, people's passion for everything football (Lionel Messi, Maradona), but also you can find the best polo teams in Palermo and rugby is very popular amongst the well-to-do. About the pee and poop, yes, in fact many people litter and that is not cool, but very haute couture places like Paris are filled with bird, dog, cat and people's piss, without anyone raising an eyebrow (not to mention pollution, which is disgusting) And is Bs. As. dangerous? You can get robbed in Paris or London, too. However, a few days ago a British tourist was shot and killed during a mugging incident, a very tragic situation, which is not common but due to a rise in poverty there has been an increase of violent assaults, so be aware and exercise caution.
Great video!👍 Thank u. I was in Buenos Aires and Mar Del Plata November last year and absolutely loved it!
Great steak and gorgeous people!
Yes very and I loved their beef!!! You can taste the freshness! I had really enjoyed Mar Del Plata as it was winter and I prefer it cooler! Great video and you do a great delivery video! 🇺🇸 🇦🇷
You guys need to also visit my country Kenya and see the big five, Lions, Elephants, Giraffes, rhinos, buffalos and plenty of other wonderful wild animals, wild beasts migration that is part of seven wonders of the world. We have a beautiful beach line on coastal region of Kenya where you can enjoy all cultural activities around and also jump with the maasai communities. There quite a lot more to enjoy here.
I hope you come here again. It was nice to guide you on this wonderfull city
Enjoyed my visit to Buenos Aires.....the hotel was great in telling us the do’s and don’ts
As regards patience in restaurants, going to the table to offer you something else or just bringing you the bill is not something usual. You have to ask for it, which is ok for me. I’m Argentinian, but I have travelled several times to the US and the fact that the waiter hangs around me all the time and insisting me with the bill makes me feel uncomfortable.
Another thing that I would like to point out is that the city is much safer than it used to be, it’s still dangerous but our mayor has done a great work
Lucía Cappelletti but nfl , the peronians are coming like zombies
@@johnnytolengo742 jajajaja
Y hablense en español no se hagan los yankees
@Jhonny Tolengo, most likely, if they are zombies, they will starve with you.
Lucia, next time you visit America, just tell the waiter "I'll wave when I need the bill". Or just order a coffee and take your time after you eat.
Amazing city (Compared to Texas Steak places---BA is cheap!! And---beef is so much better). For a great experience---try Don Julio in the Palermo District.
BA cheap ? is very expensive for us, but yeah if your a tourist with Dollars, Im sure it is.
@@Fender91 BA is really cheap compared to other countries, stop crying
@gingipw yeees it does
Que lindo que te haya gustado argentina un abraZo!
I love Buenos Aires. The weather, the parks, the music, the wines. Taxi is a issue in all Latin America for tourists. Better to use Uber. I was robbed in the center as well. Take care of your purse and cellphone. They are fast. Good video! Tks
If you go once for sure you will go back; it’s an amazing country, great people and good food/wine
Gracias! estoy de acuerdo con los puntos a favor y en contra, excelente que les haya gustado! y ojala vuelvan!
Great Timing! Going to Argentina and Uruguay in March of 2020. Thanks!
As a foreigner, if you use your credit card, you don't pay the tax when dining out.
@@SilverSamurai12 cash?
@@jimmyuk007 no idea if it applies to cash but from what I was told, they can only track it via CC so unlikely to apply to cash.
Argentina tha's incredible And diferent of the other country of southamerica it's Magic.
This didn’t aged well, where you able to go?
Thank you for this great video!
Having lived 23 years of my life in Buenos Aires, as a porteño that now lives in Holland and comes back as a tourist I have never ever seen a person been ran over by a car. Anywhere in Buenos Aires.
Tambien portena residente en Holanda y estaba pensando exactamente lo mismo! :)
Im dutch and I wanna move to BA, looks amazing!
you'll love the nightlife. I understand you travelled with kids, but Baires nightlife is available every night, not just the weekend. And don't go there until 2am, it'll run until sunrise. Catch a tango show. And a rock show, both small bands or if a huge band comes around, you'll love the atmosphere.
You'll love how easy it is to get around using public transportation, the subways (subte).
You'll also love shopping in Florida and the Palermo mall.
You'll also love catching a football game!
You'll dislike if people bump into you by accident, they won't apologize.
Hi from Argentina! Indeed, we don't tip taxi drivers, and the tip culture isn't installed that much in the country. Even if you go for a meal at a restaurant sometimes they will charge you for "cubierto" which basically means service charge and here we consider that as the tip for the waiter, so we don't leave any more money. And as for paying with dollars, be aware that we have 2 currency markets, the official one and the black market, usually if you go to exchange the dollars to pesos you will get a better exchange rate than the one they'll give you at a shop when trying to pay with dollars!
I live in Buenos Aires. I suggest tourists to visit "Bosques de Palermo".The gardens from there are exceptionally crafted. It's peaceful and costless.
Spectacular city. So much to see and do and so much history. Visited in February and fell in love with it, even with all it's peculiarities. (Who eats dinner at 10pm???). The memories of the steak I had in a mom and pop Parilla will be with me till my last breath.
I'm not that far away... Just Ouro Preto. By someone's recommendation. All I can say - the place is amazing. Thanks for the tip and have an amazing time in Buenos Aires! :)
People of Rio de la Plata ( Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Rosario..) are like Sicilians who speak Spanish. Italian influence is huge, even the way we speak Spanish has an Italian sound.
Noto mas influencia del norte o centro de italia q del sur de italia!!!
No Taxi, my friend, Uber or Subway or Bondi.

You could've taken the commuter train (Subte) it's easy and CHEAP. Why take a taxi? Uber is also available....
I'm an Argentine in Holland, both videos are accurate and informative! Good job dude!!! Thanks!
You have hit the nail on the head with this video. I have been living here for 11 years and the frustrations you mention still annoy me from time to time. It is however a great place to visit and live and the Argentine people are very friendly.
Same. Moved here in 2012. Stuff like all the holidays and the daily protests still drive me nuts, but I just grit my teeth and bear it.
hi Steven, it's like saying Americans are loud or Americans love guns. Many of you folks are in fact loud and so, for all intent and purposes, love guns (or the right to bear them). Customer service in the US is superb but also fake in that always a big tip is expected, so horses for courses. In Argentina, we are not punctual, we have a relaxed, laid-back attitude, we live in a time capsule, life is not as fast paced, not everything is scheduled and we tend to be informal in our interactions, meaning sometimes they'll bail on you or stand you up or be late or run into pickets protesting some regulations that downed our meagre salaries even more. So you have to take it with a grain of salt and understand where we're coming from. As you lot, we have strengths and weaknesses. We're extremely friendly people, warm and caring, solidarity is ubiquious. Just comprehend, our culture is not big on getting business done, we're usually not sorted, it takes us a while and we enjoy the meandering paths life takes us on.
@@Nswix Did you move to Argentina from America?
Are you from America?
@@AzureKite191 si. Estados Unidos.
I’m from Buenos Aires! Thank you to share this video. I haven’t been there for a long time.
I love it in BA. It was so fun living there
Wolters World yes it’s fun ! Can’t wait to take my gringo husband to BA. 😆 all you described in the video it’s so true. Thank you again !!
Ahhahaha, as someone who sleeps in, your first "Worst" is an absolute "Best" for me
It was awesome when I lived there in my 20s :)
But now I'm old and wake up early
Exactly! I'm from Northern Europe and I think South American lifestyle would suit me so much better haha! I've never visited but my heart has always been there ❤️ Cannot wait to finally go when I'll get the possibility.
@@marililll If you ever visit Argentina, remeber that it's not only Buenos Aires but also other great places like Bariloche, Mendoza, Epuyen, Mar Del Plata, El Glaciar Perito Moreno, Las Cataratas Del Iguazù and so many more incredible locations! :))
@@ama542 No one care about1 these places
Wolters, I wanted to Say that this is the Video that I have been waiting for my whole life. I want to visit Buenos Aires and I wanted to know what to expect when I get there. Thanks for making this Video. Yes, I like Argentinian Food... I had Argentinian friends in New York and they made Food for me and it was delicious, especially their Steaks.
I was in Buenos Aires in October for a few days, enjoyed myself immensely!. Like Mark says just have your eyes opened and use common sense 😉.
Are you from America? How much did your plane ticket to Argentina cost?
@@AzureKite191 yes I'm in America, my ticket cost me $1400 including a nice Hotel near the Obelisco. If you buy your tickets three months prior to your trip you can get it even cheaper.
@@clydeinverness1197 Why is it so expensive to travel to Buenos Aires? And why did you pay that much?
@@AzureKite191 I baught the airfare two weeks before the flight, I wanted a bigger plane, I also wanted a Hotel Chain I know instead of a pension, and I wanted a location closer to downtown. You can get cheaper fares if you don't mind flying smaller airplanes, making more layovers, getting a Hostel and buying months in advance.
@@clydeinverness1197 How much money did you spend all together in Argentina?
Great timing with this video. In January I’m going on exchange to Buenos Aires. I’ve been trying do a lot research about the city.
Awesome! YOu will have such a fun time!
Bs As in january is a completely different thing
Bring summer outfits and be prepared because it will be really hot and humid hahaha. Especially if you are planning on taking the subte to move around the city. But nightlife it's best on summer if you want to go to bars or clubbing!
My Mom is from Argentina el Capital .!...All of Argentina is WONDERFUL Mark...And of COURSE THE FOOD..!!!😮😮😮🤗🤗🤗🤗
LA Capital
Wow what a beautiful and colorful city! Thanks for another great video Mark!
Might be a very broad question, but in short, what are some of the ways BA, Argentina compares to Santiago, Chile?
They're very different cities. Santiago is in a mountain region, while Buenos Aires is in the plain terrain of the "Pampa". Architecture is also very different: Santiago has a more "glass and steel" modern downtown and BA has a very eclectic mix of (mainly) European stiles, heritage of its huge immigration process in the late 19th and first half of the 20th centuries.
@@FernandoDominguez_ar Thanks so much, can't wait to visit!
It's not hard to answer. The answer is none. You jump the Andes and it's like a totally different world.
Dulce de leche ice cream at FREDOS, the best!
Chequeando que dicen de Buenos Aires, bastante acertado su comentario y comprensible su opinión sobre el "hace lo que quieras, después arreglamos", somos muy así.
Amazing video brother traveling from newyork to buenos aires 🤘🏼
Its good to hear about the bad, because i wouldve thought it was just happening to me...lol!
I work for an airline, so I've been there twice but were very quick trips, so i didnt experience that much...i want to come back and stay longer!
As an argentine i recommend you to visit my country, but not so many days in BA. I think 3/4 its OK. The real beatifull places are in Patagonia like Bariloche, In Cuyo Mendoza, the norte like Salta and Cataratas del Iguazú in northeast part.
Argentina is sooo beautiful😍
Take uber...I use uber in buenos aires
Cabify is much better and just a bit more expensive
@@andresa1599 I gonna try on next december
@@andresa1599 gracias......
Yes, Uber is not the best here. If you do take Uber, choose the Comfort option.
Nice video! I live in Buenos Aires and it's one of the few videos I've seen that speak the truth about the good and the bad without making assumptions. Great job!!!
Thanks for the video, Mark! I'm considering living in B.A. in 2021. Safety is one of the reasons I don't live in my hometown of São Paulo, Brazil. I don't see B.A. being any worse but I've heard it's gotten worse since I've been there many years back. Will have to see it for myself, I guess!
There are many safety issues in Argentina (specially in Rosario and BA suburbia) but in general it is way better than any US big city
Avoid taking taxis. Just use Uber or Cabify and forget about all those issues that you mentioned.
HD Aviation Videos ✈ watch ur back the fucking taxis driver don’t beat u up
i just stayed there by libertad plaza. You are on point! good video!
Sweet video. I do plan to visit Bueno Aires next Summer.
Wolter you're so spot on with everything you're saying.
I's Winter during July in August in Argentina. January is their Summer.
One of my favorite cities to visit ♥️
I spent a year there in the 1990s and my family all emigrated from BA, and it’s one of the few places in the worlds where I (a New Yorker) could have seen myself living and making a life. I’m glad I didn’t - the economy the last 30 years has been so badly mismanaged that the average Argentine is basically a victim of the upper classes - but it has that open new world America feeling that I didn’t get living in Europe or Asia.

En el segundo día de mi estancia en BA, me asaltaron, de un manotazo me arrancaron el celular. Pero yo sí vuelvo, Buenos Aires para mi, es la ciudad más hermosa de toda America. 🙂

Time to update the video on the money situation - Do not bring small bills.... bring $100 dollar bills to exchange for the blue Peso. Screw the Taxi's , get an Uber. .super cheap
Thank you! Will be in Argentina this weekend.
I grew up in Buenos Aires, I lived in Banfield, and yes crime is bad, the people not being on time I can not speak but myself don't like to be late for anything or anyone and last but not least my favorite ice cream flavor are dulce de leche and sambayon. I left BS AS in 99 went back on 08 for like a week I am due for another visit. Thank you for this video lots of memories.
These days are little hot weather, you may go ti palermo hood and other places, there is a city tour by bus which is great by the way, just be carefull during the night,👍👍👍
I am an Indian. I Visited here and I love this country and ofcourse Buneus Aires.
Lateness is an advantage when booking a restaurant. For example, 7pm is considered late dinner for me but it’s very early for BA. So it was easy to get a table before the crowd arrives. Dog poops, yes, that’s something I noticed about BA - the owners don’t pick up after their dogs. Another dislike which was not mentioned is the currency exchange. There are no money changers except the banks and it is so difficult. You got to go during banking hours, get a number correctly and wait for your turn. Oh yes, bring your passport.
My man, Buenos Aires is Called "The city of Fury" or "The city that never sleeps" because of the rithm, most of clubs close at 8am in the morning, and we dinner at 10+ pm.
Love to see how others thinks of our city. Seems it´s not so bad after all... :D
BUT bring plenty of USD 100 bills to get a better exchange rate on the blue dollar.
I’m going next week, thanks!
