How are y guys getting 💐 ?

For a 12h layover in Buenos Aires, does it make sense to bring dollars and change them in a cueva? Or would I get an OK rate with my foreign credit card? Havent been there for 10y, so dunno how to find these places to change USD

For a stay of 12h going to a cueva seems like a lot of effort. I've been to Buenos Aires one month ago and Revolut usually gave me a pretty good rate

It’s pretty much the same rate now comparing the black market with the bank rate

What district? Do you train in any gym there?
Usually gym is the first thing I need to find in new country

A more chill area in BA is Villa Urquiza, not too far from Belgrano and Palermo. It used to be cheaper but it’s still in my opinion a good alternative. The area around Plaza Zapiola is super nice with many restaurant/cafe options (and a few gyms).

Not very well known by people outside of Argentina but it’s one of the up and coming areas for locals.

(Disclosure: I’m from Argentina and used to live there)

Hey guys omw to BS for a month any recommendations ? or anyone that wants to meet and hangout ?

Microcentro & Barrio Norte, not in Palermo.

Just landed in Buenos Aires from the UK, working in high ticket sales. Is anyone around for a meetup/chat?

Black market dollar is over, thing of the past.

Yeah, just use your monzo/revolut/wise and you’ll be fine.

Hey people, been in BsAs during 2020 last time, heard the prices in usd up a lot now - how bad is it exactly? What would be est monthly expenses for 2 excluding rent? Mostly eating out, lots of beers + some events on weekends ?:D

Hey Ilya! indeed, prices have been going up :(. Lunch for two ranges from 35-100usd, and a beer is around 5-7usd. event tickets go from 20usd up to ~100usd, depending on what you like! The biggest cost comes from eating out, if you enjoy cooking, it will save you lots of money. 😎

Can second that. Came here last year, and the prices have gone through the roof. Definitely eating at home and staying away from the restaurants

Hi all, I am in BsAs for the next 3 weeks, happy to meet for a drink and just explore the city. It is my 6th time here, so I am quite a local already 🙂

I'm here now and was here in 2020 (during the whole pandemic), June 2023 and June 2024. It's certainly gotten more expensive. I go get coffees almost daily and a latte is usually just under $4 USD at a 1200 pesos per dollar rate. Basically double what it was in 2020 and 2023. A pulled pork sandwich at Bulls BBQ is $18, the Gran Bife for 2 dinner at Las Petunias or Doña is about $30 USD. There are some smaller places that still do a cash discount of 10%. The coffee shop Portus does a 20% cash discount. Riding the subte is about $1.30 now, and a bus depending on how far you go is $.50. It's nice that you can now pay for these with a credit card, by tapping it instead of a SUBE card when you enter, however I did find one bus yesterday that didn't take Visa/MC, so it's good to have a SUBE card with some value on it.

Hey folks 👋
I’m putting together a small casual meetup for remote workers and nomads around Buenos Aires in August.
It’s a relaxed 1-hour group chat to swap experiences about city life and meet likeminded people.
If you’re in, join the small coordination chat here: https://t.me/+B_cLaMl1IL81Nzhk
Looking forward to connecting! — Jorge 🌎

4 dollars for a latte is more than what I pay in Florida

Yea those prices are repulsive

Have anyone been in Tigre, Buenos Aires? How's there?

I was there, nice day trip

Hi everyone! 👋
Next week I’ll be at WeWork Corrientes on Thursday 28 and Friday 29, from 10:00 to 14:00.

I’d love to invite you to drop by for a chat — and, if you feel like it, to spend some time working there and getting to know the space.

We can either set up a group conversation at a specific time, or just have more informal one-to-one chats. Please send me a message on Telegram and we’ll coordinate the best moment.

Looking forward to seeing you and talking about Buenos Aires!
