Recoleta Cemetery and Plaza Francia: painful

Rules in force · 6Large bags go by car from door to door
  • Argentina ↗Check entry rules for your passport with Argentina's National Migration Directorate (Migraciones) or an Argentine consulate before booking.
  • Argentina ↗Exchange rules and the gap between card and cash rates have changed repeatedly: check current advice before deciding whether to bring US dollars or rely on cards.
  • Argentina ↗Patagonia (El Calafate, El Chaltén, Ushuaia) is a November–March trip; in winter many services close and hiking is limited.
  • Buenos Aires area ↗For Colonia by ferry, carry your passport and check the ferry's check-in time and the return on your ticket.
  • Buenos Aires ↗Keep the phone out of hand and off café tables near the kerb: snatch theft from passing mopeds happens in busy areas.
  • Buenos Aires ↗Large bags go by car from door to door: never on the subte or on a walk, because of crowds and theft.
