Top 9 Travel Tips for Visiting Argentina
Argentina is an alluring destination, known for its vibrant culture and stunning landscapes. However, when traveling abroad, it’s crucial to be aware of cultural, geological, and meteorological differences that could impact your trip. To help you enjoy your Argentine adventure to the fullest, here are my top nine travel tips.
1. Greeting Etiquette
In Argentina, friends typically greet each other with a cheek kiss. Don’t be surprised if someone leans in for a peck, and be sure to reciprocate to show courtesy.
2. Getting Around
Argentina offers various transportation options including underground shuttles, buses, and taxis. The five main public rail lines, labeled A to E, run from early morning to late at night. Though buses can be crowded, they’re often the quickest way to get around.
3. Language Basics
Spanish is the official language, and while English is commonly spoken, it’s helpful to learn some basic Spanish phrases before you go.
4. Religious Context
Over 90% of Argentinians are Roman Catholic, which can influence social customs. Being aware of this can help you navigate cultural sensitivities.
5. Domestic Flights
Consider flying for longer distances within Argentina. The country has five major airlines, and flights can sometimes be quicker and cheaper than buses or taxis.
6. Tourist Information
For more insights, contact the Argentina Tourist Information Center at Av. Santa Fe 883, Buenos Aires, email info@turismo.gov.ar, or call 4312-2232 or 0800-555-0016.
7. Currency Tips
The Argentine peso is the local currency. Bills come in denominations of 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 pesos, each with distinct colors. Familiarize yourself with these to manage your expenses better.
8. Tipping Practices
While tipping isn't typically required, it is often expected. A 10% tip is generally sufficient in restaurants and other service settings.
9. Time Zone Awareness
Argentina operates on Argentina Standard Time (GMT -3) and switches to GMT -4 during summer. Make sure to adjust your watches accordingly.
Finally, the best advice is to plan ahead, use common sense, and most importantly, have fun! Enjoy the warmth and hospitality of Argentina as you explore its rich heritage and breathtaking scenery.
