Notes on Buenos Aires Tourism Where is Buenos Aires?

In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, there are many problems that need to be paid attention to when traveling, such as local customs, local telephone, internet and time difference. Therefore, when preparing for the trip, all these should be taken into account, and you should be very clear.

Buenos Aires time difference is -4, Beijing time difference is +8, and the difference is 12 hour.

The exchange rate between Argentina and Argentina is a very headache. On the one hand, the state has very strict foreign exchange control. I changed pesos too much, and I couldn't change dollars when I left. On the other hand, the Argentine peso continues to depreciate, and the official exchange rate and the black market exchange rate are very different. Take February 20 15 as an example. The official exchange rate is 1 USD to 8.6 Argentine pesos, and the black market is as high as 1 USD to1.7 USD. This has also brought great surprises to travelers: traveling in Argentina is much cheaper than in previous years.

Those who arrive at the airport can consider living in Ban Codera.

The National Bank can change some life-saving money or withdraw a small sum from the ATM. After arriving in the city, many cambio, travel agencies and accommodations can be exchanged. It is recommended to shop around for exchange rates, and bold students can even try it on the black market (although the exchange rate is high, it is more likely to counterfeit banknotes, and large-scale exchange is not recommended).

The exchange rate of the capital will be higher than that of tourist attractions in other provinces. Students who want to go to other provinces should try to change more money in the capital. Of course, in the commercial streets and hotels of foreign attractions, there are sometimes places where the exchange rate is relatively strong. Don't worry too much if there is not enough change in the capital.

Tips: Don't go to ATM to withdraw money at night. Be careful of counterfeit hundred-dollar bills. When a passenger takes a taxi or sets up a stall, the hundred-dollar bill paid is replaced by a counterfeit bill and rejected. Use as few large bills as possible in taxis and street shops.

UnionPay At present, Citibank's ATM can accept UnionPay card withdrawals and balance inquiries. As credit card withdrawals require overdraft interest, it is recommended that cardholders use UnionPay debit cards for overseas withdrawals. Overseas use of UnionPay cards to withdraw money from ATMs, and the daily cumulative withdrawal of UnionPay debit cards with a single card shall not exceed the equivalent foreign currency of 65,438 yuan+0,000 yuan. The extracted local currency amount will be directly converted into RMB amount according to the market exchange rate, which will be credited to the cardholder's RMB account in time by the issuing bank.

Credit card Credit cards are much rarer in Argentina than in the United States and European countries. However, most tourist attractions accept credit card payment, and some extra handling fees may be charged.

Buenos Aires has tips and is used to spending. The consumption in hotels is generally 10% of the consumption amount. If the service is extremely poor, you don't have to pay. Generally, tipping will not be reflected in the hotel bill, nor can it be paid by credit card. By taxi, there is generally no habit of tipping unless the driver's service is very good.

You can buy low-cost prepaid cards from operators such as Movistar and Claro. In some mobile phone stores, it is even free. You only need to pay about 20 pesos (equivalent to 5 dollars), insert the SIM card into your mobile phone and you can start using it, whether it's a call or a text message. However, when registering a SIM card, you need to enter your passport (or any 9-digit number) to keep in touch with other travelers. The call charge is about 1 peso per minute. Answering the phone is generally free, unless it is an international call or some cross-regional/cross-city calls. Therefore, if your purpose is only to keep in touch with overseas friends, it is not recommended to buy a SIM card.

In addition, the telephone office business hall (lo-cutorio) can also make phone calls, which is safe and quiet. The phone bill is similar to that of a street phone booth, so colleagues don't have to prepare change. Most telephone offices provide fax and internet services at reasonable prices.

There are a large number of public telephones; Generally, you can use coins, or you can buy a telephone magnetic card at any telephone booth.

If you buy a movie star,

With GSM SIM card, you can get 1GB of internet traffic every day, and charge 10 pesos every day. In addition, many cafes and restaurants provide free wireless networks and mark them at the door. All you have to do is buy a cup of coffee and ask the staff for the password.

In addition, Internet cafes are everywhere, and the internet speed is also very fast.

Generally speaking, South Americans are very friendly and sociable, while Argentines are kind, cheerful, hospitable and have a good time. The local atmosphere in Argentina pays more attention to etiquette, and it is necessary to behave appropriately in public, especially in some government agencies, and frivolous people will be driven out.

The security situation in Buenos Aires is much better than the last stop in Rio de Janeiro, but many colleagues and friends still remind me not to take it lightly. In places where there are many tourists, such as May Square, robberies (even those aimed at China tourists) occur from time to time. Don't go to remote places. It's getting dark, so either stroll in the busy area or go back to the hotel to wash and sleep early.

Before going to Argentina, it is recommended to pay attention to the official account of "Argentine Chinese Online" WeChat, and occasionally push information about Argentina's political situation, public security situation, travel advice, history and humanities, which is of great reference value.

There are some chaotic areas around every city. For Buenos Aires, it includes the eastern edge of the railway station, San Telmo and Boca. You should be careful in these places, even during the day, as long as they are not on the main street. Only late at night, Av

Florida street may not be safe.

Language The official language of Argentina is Spanish, specifically Spanish with an Italian accent. Oral exaggeration, cadence. The popularity of English is not high, but tourism professionals speak English very well and their pronunciation is very standard, which is very rare in Spanish-speaking countries. If you don't know Spanish, I suggest the next language translation software (Spanish assistant is recommended). Many words you don't understand can be looked up, so it is much more convenient to eat and order.
