Buenos Aires is tango in San Telmo, late-night steak dinners and grand boulevards. Colourful Caminito and leafy Palermo give the city two very different faces.
Buenos Aires is served by two main airports. Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE) is about 45 minutes from the center. You can grab a prepaid taxi (Remis) from official booths in the arrivals hall or book a private transfer. Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP) is much closer, handling mostly domestic and regional flights, taking just 15 minutes to reach downtown. Rideshare apps like Cabify and Uber work at both, though pickup points can occasionally be tricky to locate.
The best way to navigate the city is by using the Subte (metro) and colectivos (buses). To ride them, you absolutely need a SUBE card, which you can buy and load with cash at kiosks, or at most metro stations. The Subte is fast and cheap, though it can get incredibly crowded during rush hour. For shorter distances, walking is great, and rideshare apps are heavily used and very affordable for getting home late at night.
While many cafes, restaurants, and public squares in Buenos Aires offer free Wi-Fi, it is famously inconsistent and sometimes requires SMS verification to log in. Having your own JamboSim data means you can confidently translate menus, navigate the sprawling Subte system, or order an Uber without hunting for a signal. A solid mobile connection is also essential for using local payment apps or checking the current exchange rates on the go.
Argentina operates with multiple exchange rates, the most notable being the MEP rate and the informal "blue dollar" rate. Foreign credit cards now typically process at the favorable MEP rate, making it much easier to pay for things without carrying stacks of cash. Dinners here start late—do not expect a bustling restaurant before 9 PM. When dining out, tipping around 10% is customary, and it is usually preferred in cash rather than added to the card.
