Buenos Aires (city) - Buenos Aires (cidade)

Buenos Aires[1] is the capital of Argentina and one of the largest and most important cities in Latin America.

Understand

No big city in South America has had so many ties with the Europe as well as Buenos Aires. Having become, at the beginning of the 20th century, the cultural capital of the Hispanic world, the Argentine capital received successive waves of European immigrants - Spanish and Italian, in the majority - who kept alive the connection with the old world, still visible in architecture of the city, in its culture of cafes, spread throughout the city, in the food and even in the way of dressing. Even so, Buenos Aires, the world capital of tango and good meat, is the head and heart of Argentina and has its own flavor. Nowadays, even after the economic difficulties that the country has gone through and is going through (30% inflation per year), the city is still alive, beautiful and elegant.

Buenos Aires is stuck in the province of the same name (despite not belonging to it), on the banks of the Rio da Prata and has one of the busiest ports in the world. It was founded in 1536 and refounded, after being abandoned and destroyed in 1580, but few testimonies of that time remain. Most of the constructions date back to the end of the 19th century.

To arrive

By airplane

Of Rio de Janeiro, 3 hours of travel with direct flights from Argentine Airlines, Tam, Goal, Emirates (coming soon) and with connection via Plume via Montevideo and lan via Santiago. In São Paulo, the companies with direct flights are Tam, Gol, Aerolíneas, Lan, Tam Mercosur, British, Lufthansa and Qatar, all to Ezeiza (2h30 trip). Pluna has a flight to Aeroparque, with a stopover in Montevideo. As of 2010, Aeroparque started receiving direct flights from São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, assumption and Santiago, by Aerolineas, Gol and Lan. There are also direct flights from Campinas, Florianopolis and Porto Alegre.

The airports that serve the city are:

• Minister Pistarini - Ezeiza (EZE) - Ricchieri, km. 22. Tel. 5480-6111 [2]. Ministro Pistarini Airport handles international and domestic flights and is located 30-45 minutes from the city centre. Transport to the center can be done by:

• Tourist class bus - AR$ 25
• Remis - fixed price cars, around AR$199
• Taxi - can cost from AR$ 150, depending on travel time, traffic etc. The race usually takes between 40 and 50 minutes.
• regular bus - the Line 8 makes the Ezeiza/La Boca itinerary, passing by Plaza de Mayo for just AR$2.00. The long, two-hour trip is an opportunity to see places that go unnoticed by tourists. It's a safe day trip.

There are several cases reported in which the taxi driver gave change to passengers with counterfeit Peso bills or bills that were out of circulation. Therefore, prefer to pay the taxi with the exact amount or, if you prefer, hire it at the airport and pay with your credit card.

Currently, a good option is the official airport taxi, Taxi Ezeiza, which charges AR$ 150 (March/2011) to take you to the city center (the price includes the toll on the highway). If you keep the receipt, you can call the day before your return to schedule them to pick you up at your hotel and pay AR$88 (June/2010) to go from downtown to the airport (toll included). Be prepared to wait as taxis usually leave the airport every 30 minutes.

Another option is the Manuel Tienda León bus, which takes you downtown for AR$ 65 (Nov/2011) per person. The trip takes longer than a taxi, as they go from Ezeiza airport to the company terminal near Terminal Retiro, and from there take you to your hotel or to Jorge Newberry airport.

The airport police have been warning the general population, especially unsuspecting foreigners arriving in the country, not to take taxis from those men who are waiting at the exit of the arrivals and in the subsequent hall, where they gather, and even surround the traveler. Excuse yourself and move on. There are some kiosks on the sidewalk outside with reliable taxis (the best known companies are the Ezeiza and the yellow, with price closed before shipment).

You must also be careful with luggage. There are a number of reports of suitcases being broken into and passengers discovering that their goods had been stolen in Ezeiza. To ensure your safety, avoid shipping high-value items such as cameras and mp3 players. Another option is to vacuum pack the bags (with plastic), a service that is already offered in the lobby of most airports.

• Jorge Newbery Airport (AEP) - Av. Rafael Obligado, Tel. 4576-1111 - 10 minutes from the center, receives domestic and international flights. Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. Given the difference in distances between the two airports and the Center, getting off at Aeroparque became the best option. Taxi to Palermo costs As$50 (from Ezeiza it costs As$150!). Best option for those leaving the Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Campinas and Porto Alegre by Aerolineas, Gol and Lan.

Of boat

There are daily connections [3] in ferry in Colony of Sacramento (50 minutes on the airboat (aliscafo) or 3 hours by ferry) and Montevideo (3h by direct aliscafo or 5:30h with bus/boat connection in Cologne), at Uruguay. The arrival point is the terminal Dársena Norte, at the northern end of Puerto Madero.

You cruises arriving in Buenos Aires normally disembark at the Benito Quinquela Martín Passenger Terminal, r. Ramón Castillo between Av. de los Inmigrantes and r. Mayor Luisioni, in the central region of the city.

By bus/bus

Most long-distance intercity buses, as well as international ones, arrive and depart from the large and organized train station. Retreat (Av. Antártida Argentina and Av. Ramos Mejía, tel. 4310-0700), in the central region of the city. The terminal is served by taxis, remissions and by line C of the submit (subway). In the West Zone, long-distance road transport is served by the Omnibus Liniers Terminal.

By train/train

of the cities of San Miguel de Tucumán, Inns, Rosary, Santa Fe, Mar del Plata and Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires can be reached by train, although buses are still faster, more frequent and more expensive. However, the landscape is usually rewarding. The main seasons are Constitution (southern travel), Retreat (North and Northeast), once (west) and Federico Lacroze, all served by subway and bus.

By car

As far as Argentina is concerned, all roads lead to Buenos Aires. It is also possible to arrive by car from the Uruguay, of south of Brazil, of Paraguay, of Chile and of the Bolivia. Road quality is usually good. On Route 14, which connects Zárate to Paso de Los Libres in Corrientes (border with Brazil), the concessionaire is carrying out duplication work in some stretches in the Province of Entre Rios.

The police usually find small defects (even if they do not exist) in your car, ask for "una cerveza" and have a good trip. If there is nothing wrong with your vehicle, waste a little of your time with "I don't understand" and "a fine? ok!" that usually release without bribes.

Circular

To walk in Buenos Aires it is a pleasant option, especially in the central region, where several attractions are concentrated. On the other hand, the system of public transportation it is efficient and covers all areas of interest in the city, although it can get overcrowded during "peak" hours.

orient yourself in the city is relatively simple. As in most Spanish colonized cities, the streets of the Argentine capital have a checkered layout. Numbering is generally uniform and symmetrical. Each block adds up to 100, that is: in the first block, buildings have numbers from 0 to 99, in the second, from 100 to 199, in the third, from 200 to 299, and so on. Addresses are often given with street intersection references, such as "Corrientes y Callao" for example, and having a city map handy is always a good idea. A great option is the so-called "T Guide", which can be purchased at any newsstand.

By subway

To escape the city's traffic, the inhabitants of the Argentine capital have 6 subway lines [4], [5]. Buenos Aires subway is one of the oldest in the world, and is known by locals as submit, short for underground. The lines converge in the city center and reach various tourist spots and important areas of the city, in addition to having a constant cultural program. Line A keeps the old wooden wagons in circulation, which are an attraction in themselves.

O submit It is open Monday through Saturday, from 5 am to 10.30 pm, and on Sundays and holidays from 8 am to 10 pm. Line maps are sold at stations and the ticket costs AR$2.50. It is possible to make connections between lines, marked with the word combination.

The system works very well, but tourists need to beware of pickpockets, especially in full carriages.

By bus

Buenos Aires buses are an economical means of transport (tickets at A$1.20 if you buy a ticket card, or A$2.00 if you pay at the time of departure), although it can be less efficient on the days of traffic jam in the center. However, the bus network is extensive and serves the entire city. Buses run throughout the day, decreasing in frequency after midnight. Routes can be found at Interactive Map of Buenos Aires.

Buy the ticket from the machines inside the vehicle. Fares vary according to the passenger's destination. When you get on the bus, tell the driver your destination and, only then, will the machine be released for the purchase of the ticket.

• Heads up:The machines only accept coins. Some lines, UP to A$1.00 coins only.

Don't be fooled by the appearance of the buses! Although they look very old, most of the lines are remodeled inside and are comfortable and clean.

By taxi

Apparently, half of the cars in Buenos Aires are taxis, easily identified by their black paint with a yellow hood. The large quantity also means that they are relatively cheap and can be called on the street at any time, except on some holidays when taxis become a little rare. The fare is low, with only one charge, whatever the day or time. The "flag" starts with the value of AR$ 4.60 and adds AR$ 0.46 every 200 meters.

However, reports of problems and even crimes involving taxis are not non-existent, and it is recommended to use radio-taxi services, which are considered safer. Also try not to pay with high-value bills. Taxi drivers who are not radio-taxi drivers give you counterfeit bills and often exchange your money for a counterfeit bill, and give some excuse not to accept it, so you get a counterfeit bill and pay 2x.

• Remis - remises are cars with a driver that charge a fixed price to take them to a specific destination. They are common, for example, on the route from Ezeiza airport to the city center.

Tip - At the airport information desk they will suggest you to pick up a Remis. However, the common taxi is about 15 pesos cheaper.

Of boat

In the Tigre River region, north of the city, all transport is done by boat.

By train

The train is the fastest and most used way to enter or leave the city. From the Retiro terminal (near the Torre dos Ingleses) to the north of the Grande BsAs, from the Plaza Constitución to the south of the conurbano and from the Lacroze station to the northwest. it still works today, under the name of TBA. The direct journey to the city of Tigre (the Delta) takes 45 minutes. The train has air conditioning in each car and the most expensive ticket costs 1.10$.

A service widely used and recommended to tourists is the "Tren de la Costa" which reaches the "Delta del Tigre". The train runs along the coast of the Rio de la Plata and it is possible to get off at each station. To take this train, you must travel with the TBA train (which leaves from Retiro Station) to the Miter station and from there cross a footbridge to the Maipú station. It is approximately 30 minutes of a very beautiful journey! Learn more at: [6]

Those who use the train, keep the ticket until the end of the trip as it is necessary to present it when arriving at the station.

Tango is much more than a musical rhythm in Buenos Aires, it is a true unanimity and lifestyle among Argentines, perhaps even more than samba for Brazilians. It is a capital offense to visit Buenos Aires and not watch a tango show.

• Cafe Tortoni - Av. de Mayo, 825. Tel: 4342-4328 ([email protected]) [32]. Popular entre os turistas, este café é uma instituição portenha, um belo e charmoso café do século XIX. Serviço competente a um médio preço. O chocolate com churros é uma das combinações clássicas da casa. Informe-se sobre os shows de tango que acontecem no lugar - em geral estão sempre lotados e é necessário reservar ingressos para assistí-los. Acontecem aos sábados a partir das 21:30. Conversar com o gerente sobre uma mesa de última hora é uma opção. O show é de grande qualidade e retrata fielmente o espírito do tango portenho sem as produções hollywoodianas de outras casas muito mais caras. Costuma se formar uma grande aglomeração na porta, com filas de turistas, mesmo que ainda haja muitas meses vazias dentro, o que de certa forma contribui para valorizar todo o espaço. Vale muito a pena, mais pelo passeio que pela comida. Seg-sab de 8h a 3h30; domingos, de 8 a 1h. Os ingressos para os shows começam a ser vendidos às 11 horas da manhã. Vale a pena comprar os ingressos antes e retornar à noite para assistir ao espetáculo.

O centro da cidade, especialmente nas redondezas da Av. 9 de Julho e r. Florida, tem várias opções de hotéis. No entanto, a grande maioria deles já mostra sinais de decadência e necessita urgentemente de novos investimentos e reformas.

Outras regiões concentram opções para nichos específicos de turistas. O Puerto Madero, por exemplo, tem hotéis de cadeias internacionais de primeira categoria, enquanto Palermo Viejo recebe, aos poucos, novos pequenos hotéis com design diferenciado.

Tenha em conta que os hotéis em todo país cobram 21% de IVA (imposto) sobre as tarifas. Antes de fechar a reserva, verifique se o imposto já está incluído no preço, para não ter surpresas posteriores.

• Golpe comum - Se na rua um pombo lhe sujar (ou sua roupa aparecer suja de repente), logo deverá aparecer alguém pronto para lhe ajutar a se limpar: é a pessoa que jogou a sujeira em você. Duarante a "ajuda", ela tentará bater sua carteira ou roubar sua bolsa. Recuse veementemente a ajuda, segure bem sua bolsa ou sua carteira e grite POLÍCIA, POLÍCIA. O ladrão desistirá e irá embora.

• Golpe comum - Se uma mulher (e até mesmo homens) de aparência normal te chamar na rua para ver uma "apresentación" e ganhar massagens de meninas de graça, sem compromisso, na primeira vez, não dê atenção e saia! Na verdade elas são agentes de prostíbulos. Uma vez levados para "dentro" não te deixam sair, impedindo fisicamente até que se desembolse uma boa quantia em dinheiro. Esser tipo de golpe é bastante comum no centro, principalmente na Av. Corrientes, Calle Florida e Av. Lavalle.
