I've lived in Argentina and in Europe, and often I read that Argentina is a bit of Europe in South America, but immediately I think it's great that it's only 'a bit of Europe,' because it's that blend that makes Argentina special. In Argentina, there's still empathy, you still see children and lots of young people, pets are important but... less important than children, people still ask you 'How are you?'. That's the beauty of Argentina. If you're just after architecture, go to Europe. This is something else, a mix that's hard to find elsewhere.
We are just finishing up a month in BA and have loved it. Previously, Mexico City was our favorite city in Latin America but BA is our new favorite.
Riiight? It definitely reminded me of CDMX, but I think I loved it more, which is something I never thought would happen 🤷♂️
Buenos Aires is by far better. I could not live without the culture, the food, the lovely warm hearted Porteños. ❤❤❤
I've been infatuated with Mexico City ever since my first trip there in 1996. Been there dozens of times, sometimes spending a month or two at a time. I've only been to Buenos Aires three times but thanks to Travis, I'm planning to go for a month next January. I'm thinking I may feel the same as you afterwards, ReluctantLawyer.
@DavidDavid888
What is it about Mexico city that you love so much? Is it safe, or at least safer than what people make it to be...
@@p.c.h.6721 Good question. I definitely feel safe there, safer than I feel at home in Chicago these days. I love the vibe, the food, the museums, the architecture, the gardens, the warmth of the people which I've found unmatched anywhere else in the world.
It has a lot to do with the people there...they're simple, straight forward, intelligent, and down to earth. They love people for how they are, and not what they look like or where they come from I find.
Amen to that!
You put in words what it is. The inhabitants of this magestic city and how they live it. And how the public space is used from the richiest to the poorest, in the same way. Buenos aires is one of those democratic cities, where we all use public space and transport.
I just returned from BA and I didn't want to leave.
True porteños warmly welcome all kinds of people that decide to stay, as the most of the population has immigrational background be it from Southern or Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa or the neighbourung countries
Hi, great video. I'm English and have lived in Buenos Aires for 15 years, having first visited in 2002. It's one of my favourite cities in the world, for sure. Very glad I live here. Friendly and welcoming people, varied architecture, wide avenues, beautiful parks, and loads of trees lining the streets. It's a bit of Europe in South America.
The best!
Not sure about friendly people, BA people have that typical capital city arrogance you get in places like Paris and London. They are mostly nice once you get to know them though. Agree with everything else
I went to Buenos Aires in Sept 2023 and I loved it! Argentine tango is magical! I took the ferry to Colonia, Uruguay and it was also spectacular. I loved walking around in Puerto Madero and they have many nice restaurants there. I would definitely go back to BA and other cities in Argentina as well!
I’m headed back soon to do just that!
I love Buenos Aires. I visited there back in 2005. I stayed at the Panamericano Hotel and got to see Maradona. He was at the same hotel doing a press conference. It was pretty cool! He is a big soccer celebrity there. The city is beautiful! . The Argentine men are gorgeous! No joke! I was turning my head all the time when walking in the streets of Buenos Aires. LOL... Anyway I visited too many places but one thing that I never forget is the cemetery where Eva Peron was buried. A lot of history there. Also Casa Rosada tour. Have you try the famous Alfajores Havanna? If not, you must! "It's a pastry made with cookies and creamy dulce de leche caramel. Can't wait to see your next video in Argentina!
Haha everyone was so gorgeous! I didn’t make it on a Casa Rosasa tour this time, so I’ll add it to the list - thanks!!
Buenos Aires has improved even more compared to 2005, a remodeling plan was undertaken for the entire downtown and historic center, with leveling of sidewalks to semi-pedestrianize them in the European style, and the historic center: San Telmo has had a similar treatment, highlighting the entire environment and with strong commercial investments, to transform it into the new "Palermo Soho"

We’d love for you to come back, the city has changed so much since then, more modernized and more gourmet. Also, more places to visit🥰❤️
My partner and I lived there for a year and loved it. It's such a great city.
I've been there 6 times, my wife is a Portenia (It mean port person born in Buenos AIres.) and she ends up being my guide when we visit. It's my favorite city in the world bar none. Try out Buller Brewing Company, a restaurant across the street from Recoleta Cemetery. Try the oven fired pizza and they make their own beer, Honey Beer is my favorite, you won't regret.
Next time try the restaurants and taverns (Bodegones) where we porteños love to dine, for we consider that "golden mile" across the Recoleta Cemetery the ultimate tourist trap
Porteña.
BsAs is a fantastic city. I stayed in the Palermo neighborhood when I was there. One thing you HAVE to do when in Argentina next time is see Iguazú Falls. In my mind, it beats the Grand Canyon, the Red Rocks of Arizona, and every beautiful place I've been in the US. If you go, please make sure you see the falls from both the Argentina and Brazil sides. They're very different but both spectacular!
I definitely want to see those - the videos/pics I've seen look increeeedible!!
You also need to visit El Calafate in the south.
I just went to Iguazu last weekend and totally agree with this!
@@TravelWTravis
Are you living there Travis?
God blessed us with breathtaking landscapes: Iguazú Falls, Misiones: NE (there you can visit guaraní village), Cerro de los 7 colores, Jujuy: N (7 colours hill), Valle de Luna (Moon's valley), San Juan: NO, Cerro Aconcagua (Mendoza province) whole American Continent tallest mountain, best wine, whole Patagonia is dreamed postcard landscape, dont miss Ushuaia (glaciar, End of the world's lighthouse, penguins), etc.
BA is amazing. The food, the culture, the museums, the architecture is spectacular.
Amen to all that!
Lovely video ❤ Argentina is a gem, people are great, very friendly, there is so much entertainment, and its food is delicious.
Amen to all of that! ❤️
Hola Travis !, mi esposa y yo ya somos personas de mas de 65 años y nacimos y vivimos aquí, en Buenos Aires y desde que veo en YT las reacciones de los visitantes extranjeros, empecé a ver a mi querida ciudad con ojos de turista y, ahora disfruto mucho mas mis paseos, cuando estaciono el auto en algún barrio y solo camino disfrutando del encanto que ofrece mi ciudad a todas las gentes del mundo que vengan a visitarla. Espero que disfrutes tu estadía ! Te mando un gran saludo desde "Mi Buenos Aires Querida"!.
Hello Travis!, my wife and I are already people over 65 years old and we were born and live here, in Buenos Aires and since I see the reactions of foreign visitors on YT, I began to see my beloved city with the eyes of a tourist and Now I enjoy my walks much more, when I park the car in a neighborhood and just walk around enjoying the charm that my city offers to all the people in the world who come to visit it. I hope you enjoy your stay! I send you a big greeting from "My Dear Buenos Aires"!
Thank you so much Nick!! Your city is incredible and I'm so glad I got to experience it! ❤️❤️❤️
Me pasa igual! Cada vez que salgo, ya sea a pasear o ir a comprar algo, veo la ciudad de otra manera, es tan hermoso el lugar donde vivimos que a veces se nos olvida, gracias a las reacciones de los extranjeros me doy cuenta de lo afortunados que somos!♥️
I love Buenos Aires it is my favourite City in the whole world. Thanks for this video I just subscribed to your Chanel. 😊👍🏻
Isn’t it the best?? Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! ❤️❤️❤️
the whole world is a lot! where are u from??? porteña curious here...
Each of the images awakened a memory in me. I lived in Buenos Aires for 9 years and now that I'm away I appreciate it much more. Thanks for your video!
You’re so welcome - thanks for watching!
Great video great vibes! Just subbed. I was there in BsAs a few months ago and loved it! Argentina is a fantastic place and as great as BsAs is, I would also suggest checking out other cities too. I stayed in Cordoba and Mendoza also for a month each and they were both wonderful! Happy trails!
Thanks for watching and subscribing! I definitely want to get to Cordoba and Mendoza as well! There's *so* much to see down there, so I'm looking forward to all of it!
You now Travis we porteños use a word to describe our relationship with BA, "nostalgia". Though every porteño will describe it differently, to me, nostalgia is a mix of sweet old memories that are gone with your confidence about good things to come, despite the difficulties of life. I think BA, maybe like no other city in the world, makes that feeling possible. I think you do not need to be born in BA to be a legit porteño, but you need to understand nostalgia. If any day of your life, you find your self leaving BA, and while you are on the cab to the airport, you start to feel a tiny sensation in your belly growing up to the heart, and that feeling tells you that maybe you don't want to leave, maybe you stayed enough in BA to feel nostalgia.
That is so beautiful! And I deeeefinitely felt nostalgia on my way out (and still do) for BA. Thanks so much for watching and your thoughtful comment! ❤️❤️❤️
@@TravelWTravis Listen to Soda Stereo's music and you will never forget about BA ever. It's a trip to the 80s in buenos aires, the ultimate nostalgia legendary rock band. Cerati is part of BA's DNA and viceversa. If you havent listened to "la ciudad de la furia" give it a try
@@2playusout Soda Stereo is without a doubt the best rock band in castilian language and among the best in rock history worldwide but there are other great argentinian rock bands and authors with a stronger urban link to BA, like Manal, Pappos Blues, Sumo, Massacre, Luis Alberto Spinetta (Ceratis absolute idol) or Mateo Sujatovich
@@MrLaizardYou forgot Seru Giran, Spinetta and Charly García
As an argentinian who lives in Buenos Aires makes me really happy and proud that you wanted to stay here a bit longer. BA has a lot of things to see, it has history, culture, the food, the architecture, and most important: the people. We have a country that feels homely and everybody can feel that ♥️
❤️❤️❤️
Here in Argentina you can ask the restaurant to take home the food you left to eat it later.
Lovely narrated. I started really appreciating bs as (my home town) when I got to know other cities, other countries. Now I can say: Bs As, Istanbul and Saint Petersburg, my three favourite cities in the world ❤
Amen!! Thanks so much for watching! ❤️❤️❤️
You should definitely check out the Barrio Chino - it’s very busy but full of cafes, food stands and also a good place to buy any specialty grocery items (including vegan) which the standard supermarkets may not carry. There are a ton of cool neighborhoods to explore…I have spent months in BA and didn’t come close to seeing it all. But I really like the Belgrano/Colegiales area for living. Close to Palermo, which is also fun, but with a little more local vibe.
Ooo I didn’t make it to the Barrio Chino - I’ll add it to my list for next time! ❤️❤️❤️
The most genuine Asian district of the city is located quite far away from Barrio Chino; it is the Barrio Coreano in Bajo Flores, a quite dodgy and funky area but anyway worth the effort
Travis, this was a phenomenal video. I'm going to plan a trip to Argentina after watching this. Thanks so much for sharing your travel experiences.
I’m so glad you liked it! ❤️❤️❤️ And definitely try and get down there!
I like your videos. I didn't have Argentina on my travel list but maybe I should. Especially if it's going to be warm not chilly. It's pretty close since I live in Ecuador
@@birdsinparadise3113 Ecuador is another place that I would like to visit. Have things calmed down there?
@@elfrazier I wouldn't call it calmed down but it's not a level of danger that affects most people. Like gang violence in Mexico or usa, could be extremely high, yet your average person is unaware unless they check the news. One current problem the last two weeks is different from January and February is the level of security forces that we see daily is less now. And it seems like gang to gang are back to levels from before the state of emergency. But there are obviously places, like Cuenca, which is better overall but normally is safer than coastal areas. Suffice to say I don't currently suggest people come visit because the enforcement efforts are really inconsistently applied
@@birdsinparadise3113 I really appreciate your response. It's a beautiful country and I'm really looking forward to visiting one day. I completely agree with you on the overall violence. There's violence everywhere but as you stated if you're not involved with it or living in a neighborhood that's highly affected you really aren't aware. That short period of craziness that happened was well outside the norm. All the best to you!
I'm living in Norway since august last year and i miss my country every single day it doesn't matter if we are economically destroyed or the insecurity it is my home and my culture and being here is a torture every day 😭 soon i'll be coming back
I am from India and want to visit and stay for some time in Buenos Aires, but I have heard worrisome stories about the crime there, especially against foreigners.
Since you live there is it safe to visit. Also I don't know Spanish, only English. Do many people there speak English.
Any info you have will be welcome.
I love the scenery of southern Argentina.
@@seashells-and-seashores brother you as a tourist are going to be in the tourist area wich is the center (Palermo, Puerto Madero, Recoleta, Belgrano) there you are safe so dont worry. If you go far away from the center alone at night there is some posibilities that you are going to be robbed we have high crime but maybe is the same as India or less so dont worry
@@federicocarnebale thanks for the prompt reply.
I think I will go. It's a huge journey. Argentina is literally on the opposite side of India!!
I am a philosopher and would relish the cafe culture and conversations there. In addition, from pictures I have seen, people are very well dressed there compared to sloppy northwest Europe, which I respect.
When are you heading back there? Can I have your email to contact you if I have any further questions
@@seashells-and-seashores im coming back on september maybe, if you have questions just write it here man my i have an email but its only for work. All you have to know is that we are not racist, we respect other religions and beliefs but our sense of humor doesn't have limits so if you see or hear anyone joking about something racist or homofobic they are just joking. We dont have a lot of africans/afroamericans so we can say whatever we want and nobody is offended but foreigneers always mistake these jokes or comments and think we are racists and thats not the truth
@@seashells-and-seashores oh and learn a little bit of spanish, people here speak english but i would say that 8/10 people doesn't so it will be usefull to learn basic spanish.
There´s a tango lyrics that says "the little streets of Buenos Aires have that .."I don´t know what"; You know?"
Exaaaactoo
I live here and I love it!!!- for 30 odd years now as a immigrant (not consecutive years). The Rural has wonderful events- The largest book fair in the world (April), and the equivalent of a country state fair (the end of July, first of August). My favorite scene is to sit on 9 de julio and watch the lights come on at night, or early in the morning and watch the sun come up. Seeing the sun come up on the Rio de la Plata on the Vicente Lopez beach area is another spectacular view. Finally, other interesting things to do are to take tours of old buildings, take in all the beautiful sculptors and have a coffee every afternoon in a different neighborhood. You will get a feel that way of all the different immigrants, social classes, and listen in on conversations.
Thank you so much for the wonderful suggestions! Those all sound amazing!
Bravo Travis, thank you 🎉🙏.
Great vibe, relaxing - good job 🌞
🇭🇷
Hey Travis! Local here. This video made me fall in love even more deeply with my own city! You have such an amazing way with words, truly. I live in Belgrano which is a pretty quaint neighborhood. Not many touristy things to do (apart from the Barrio Chino) but I reckon its nice streets are the best place to roam around. Hope you enjoy your time here!
❤️❤️❤️ thanks so much for watching and I’ll come check out Belgrano for sure!
Im from BA. One video that could be interesting and could work well for people is the different neighborhoods of the city. That is something special from Buenos Aires because each one is very different. From San Telmo or Monserrat (downtown) to Palermo, Recoleta and Belgrano, to the more family oriented like Caballito, Colegiales, Villa Crespo or Chacarita. And the ones that foreigners dont know but are beautiful like Villa Devoto, Núñez, Couhglan or Ingeniería. I dont know if you are still in the city but if you ever come back, just walking around its barrios is an activity itself. I live in Caballito by the way, on an avenue called Pedro Goyena.
My favorite part was just spending hours walking around! Thanks so much for watching and I definitely will be making more videos, so thanks for the suggestion!
que linda que es Pedro Goyena
Yo también soy nacido y criado acá. Hijo y nieto de porteños (salvo mi abuela materna, que era italiana). Tengo 61 y aún no conocí el barrio "Ingeniería"... ¿dónde queda?
@@TravelWTravis Oh yes, would you be able to make a video about San Isidro?
@@dsfshshfhgsghs Creo que se le pudo trabucar "Agronomía" o el autocorrector hizo de las suyas
I like to take the hoho (hop-on hop-off) buses the first or second day in a new place. You get to see all the tourist sites, and then figure out where you want to go during the rest of your stay.
Definitely! I’ll be my new thing now bc it was so helpful!
Since you have the time, (and money) I recommend visiting other cities like Cordoba, the second city of Arg., the Iguazu Falls, Mendoza and or Bariloche, and of course Mar del Plata. Keep enjoying. Good video.
Rosario as city, including suburbs reachs 1,9M inhabitants, becoming Argentina's second city, besides is the other "european"' metropolis in Argentina, more interesting that Cordoba, 4 lovers of achtecture and urban beauty:
th-cam.com/video/BifGHJCfv2w/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/wrhiuytbXyQ/w-d-xo.html
Yes! I can't wait to explore all those spots!
@@claudiomaxl8488 I fully agree, Rosario is superb
Argentina is a gold mine
Your final thoughts relate to a mixture of things and feelings you get when you're in Argentina (not just Buenos Aires but any province in Argentina). There's both a sense of hapiness or just living life outside on the streets, sharing your time with others, talking face to face with friends and family but also a bit of melancholy as well. There's 'something in the air' that is truly hard to describe. I'm from Cordoba city (province of Cordoba) and my experience is similar to yours. I always enjoy my short 2 / 3 day trips to Buenos Aires just because there's an endless list of places to visit and things to do but I like my city better as it's a little less chaotic and crazy to me. Glad you enjoyed Argentina so much ! Saludos !
TH-cam analytics pays off again. Your channel popped up and I couldn’t be happier that it did. Happy new subscriber 👍🏻✌🏻🤙🏻
That’s so wonderful - thanks so much for subscribing!
Love this video. I can see why you are in love with this city.
Riiiiight!?? Thanks for watching Kaytee!!
Much love from a Porteño!! glad you like it here great video Travis
I love Buenos Aires❤
Me too! ❤️
👏🏽 I may have to add this to my list for the end of 2024 to early 2025. I'm still doing Europe but adding more. Curtains parts of this video reminded me of when I lived in Mexico City, yet some areas looked much newer and more progressive. As for those double decker busses that is what my everyday travel bus is like here in Scotland. It's lovely to ride along the coast on the bus or on the trains and watch nature. Train travel around other parts of Europe is so lovely and dog friendly. Safe travels Travis. 🙏🏼
That’s so cool! And yeah - BA definitely reminded me of CDMX in parts (as well as Paris!) Enjoy those scenic bus rides!
The city's architecture, gastronomy, and varied tourist attractions make me choose Buenos Aires. Even though the country is going through an economic crisis that will soon pass, it is incredible how beautiful the city remains. I would easily live in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires looks so pretty!! Reminds me of some areas in Mexico City. I’d definitely love to go there someday. Happy you had a good time :)
Definitely reminded me a ton of CDMX!
La verdad es que la Ciudad de Buenos Aires no se parece para nada a la Ciudad de México. Tienen muchas más similitudes a la Ciudad de Paris y Madrid
Dont think BA looks like México City except some blocks of Condesa or Roma Norte.
@@alejandrapena4814 No creo que se parezca a Paris, tampoco a Madrid ni a CDMX
Apenas algunas zonas recuerdan a esas ciudades.
Pero Buenos Aires es mucho más que eso.
Cada barrio es único y diferente de los demás.
Right, so if you're staying I might recommend a couple of tours.
Go to Retiro train station and take the Mitre line, make a stop in Vicente Lopez and take a walk around, then stop in Olivos, same thing. Finally go to the end of the line to Tigre and take a boat tour and walk around. Maybe one day is not enough for all that, but you should check it.
And since you're here you can't leave without visiting the cities of Mar del Plata, Pinamar, Cordoba, Salta and Mendoza. In that order, maybe Mendoza before Salta. Completely different vibes but as charming as B.A.
Cheers
Thank you so much for all the recs! ❤️❤️❤️
@@TravelWTravis "Thank you so much for all the recs!" - my real recs to you :
i. your backpack over left shoulder only and under your left elbow, you won't look so tourist.
ii. if you have a seat at a street table don't put your backpack over the seat besides you, hang it over your knee between your legs, much safer, no one will grab it and run.
Have a nice stay.
@@ricardoaraoz717 Same tips are valid for european cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Rome and now even Paris
I am so happy I found your channel! Love the vibe!
Ah I’m so happy you did, too! Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing!
Glad your back
Mate, well done, I'm seeing BA like never before, charming place.
Thanks so much for watching!
Another great video! I think your editing is very good. It’s fun tagging along with you on your journey
Thanks so much Pamela! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Travis. Thanks for the great video! Really enjoyed it, seeing some places I visited when I was last there 15 years ago. It's a beautiful city and I hope to be back. You should check out the neighbourhood - La Boca! Looking forward to your next video 🙂
Thanks so much for watching! ❤️❤️❤️
The algorithm suggested this video, and I thought "Hum, I've seen you before"... Yep, I had watched all your videos and was subscribed when you were in Mexico! It's nice to see you again, and resubscribe. Wishing you all the best on your new journey! Cheers from Montreal 🙂
Ah I’m so glad the algorithm found you!! 😆
Thanks Travis…enjoyed this!
I'm so glad - thanks for watching!!
Such a lovely video. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit. Buenos Aires guy here, but I've been living in Pennsylvania for almost 3 years now. Feeling homesick, but your video helped 😊
Beautiful video, man. Congrats!
Thanks so much!
Beautifully made, thanks mate!
Well done my friend! I'm so tired of watching all of these 'influencer-esque' video's, but you are the man. Thanks for all of the effort you put into this!
Ah thanks so much!
I've noticed in comments an interest in looking for similarities between Buenos Aires and CDMX, but they're tiny....
Buenos Aires is not only different from CDMX and the rest of Latin America (we can extend this difference with Latin Amercia to a large part of Argentine cities) but to reference it u gotta look at great capitals of Western Europe, and it's no coincidence...
Buenos Aires is nicknamed "Paris of America" and making history:
In mid-19th century, Paris was demolished and rebuilt as we know it today; in the same way, shortly after, Buenos Aires was also demolished and rebuilt in the image of Paris, with its architectural styles of that time: beaux arts/academicism-art nouveau /deco and the layout of large boulevards/avenues/diagonals and proliferation of parks, like Paris....
regarding urban beauty, among major metropolises of the world, just Paris and London r at same level as Buenos Aires. If yu wanna have an idea of the urban environment of Buenos Aires, here:

Absolutely breathtaking video. I was debating between Buenos Aires or Cordoba to make the move and you just convinced me to try BA. Thank you!
Haha I still need to check out Cordoba!
Very nice shots, and welcome
Thank you so much! ❤️
Like video. Look forward to more videos of Argentina....

Love these buses. Great idea for first days like when you are tired from traveling to get to a place but you want to see it . I did Quito and Cuenca.
Amazing!
A very good footage !!! the nex time in BA, explore northern zone too !! you will like
Thanks!! I will!
Nice video bro!👍🏽👍🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Very well done video showcasing the beauty of Buenos Aires. I love all the green spaces and it looks like there is so much to do. I’m happy to hear you didn’t have any issues with your vegan diet. I can’t wait to check out this magnificent city as I will soon be moving to Ecuador. I’m happy to see that you are back!
Ah thanks so much - it’s such a gorgeous city, I feel like you can’t get a bad angle 🤷♂️ And the vegan scene surprised me, too! Safe travels to Ecuador! ❤️❤️❤️

Awesome video, im glad people like you can come and discover our culture!! I hope you have a great time in here 😁
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

Great to see you back Travis! Please dial down the background music volume, its way to loud.
Buenos Aires is the most beautiful city I ever been. I lived here my entire life and never want it to leave. You’re more than welcome to come back. I encorage you to lear more about the dictatorship. I liked that the guided said Puerto Madero is one of the whealtiest neigborhood cause sometimes tourist only see that part and think we all live like that and that’s not it. I would recommend you to go to Agronomía, it’s a huge park open and it has a part of de Buenos Aires University (free education!) It’s lovely and the second saturday of everymonth has ferias. (It’s not in the center and it’s not turistic but I recomend it as someone who knows BS AS by living in it) I’d love to see another video of this city, greetings!
wow what a beautiful city.
Hi Travis...glad you liked our city. Only one correction : the zoo was closed many years ago and has turned into an Eco Park. The animals that still live there are waiting to be relocated, as the case of Sandra , the orangutan who was declared as a"non human person" and sent to an animal Center in Florida, the lions and white tigers went to Minnesota, and the Grizzlies to Colorado...Have a great time...!!!
Ah thank you! I did see that it was Eco Park, but wasn't sure if that was some combination of zoo and park? Thanks so much for clearing that up though!!
Those new editing skills are 😙🤌🏻
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Great video and well timed! We’ve been thinking about heading to BA in September to check it out for a multi-month stay. You’ve convinced us we need to put BA at the top of our travel list! One question- did you find it too hot in the summer? We are always on the hunt for 75 degrees 😊
Visit BA. But don´t miss the rest of Argentina!
th-cam.com/video/57waq1HdllQ/w-d-xo.html
Haha it was definitely hot (and a little humid) during the days, although it was always pleasant in the shade, and I was lucky to have great AC where I was staying. I love the heat though, so I might not be the best judge on that one!
Love your video about BA ❤ If you decide to stay longer in Argentina, you should visit my city MENDOZA. Won’t regret it!!
I can't wait to check out Mendoza! Thanks for watching Mike!
me gusta mucho tu manera de contar lo que ves, tu narrativa visual es muy de director de cine
Muchas gracias por su atención y sus amables palabras!
BA was supposed to be my home but I stopped off in Costa Rica to see a friend and ... 22 years later 🙄
I've always liked the Tigre Delta -- easy day trip from BA. Punta del Este in Uruguay was, ummm, interesting. Actually Uruguay is very close for day trips. Also loved Ushuaia (The End of the World) -- stunning scenery!
Haha 22 years later! I was too busy falling in love with BA, but next time I’m going to get out of the city and explore the rest of the country bc there’s so much down there!! ❤️❤️❤️
Trying to talk my wife into going for the month of February or March. January might be too hot. Looks like there’s plenty to do like we had in Madrid.
I've watched all your videos while you were in Merida, and thank you for all the information you shared. I decided not to move to Merida with my family, it's just too hot. So now I'm hunting for another city to move to. We are done living in Europe (Spain).
Stay safe out there, and best of luck.
Thanks so much for sticking with me and good luck with the move!!
Muy lindo tu video ☺ 👍🌹
Graciaaaas ❤️❤️❤️
Super!
Great video Travis, you truly showed the beauty of Buenos AIres. I have serveral friends who make annual trips now I understand why. I didn't know what to expect considering the economic downfall and the inflation rate. I guess some people are still doing well. I hope you do stay there longer I would lover more information about this beautiful city. Your editing skills are great. All the best.
Hola, todo está muchísimo más caro que el año pasado, sobre todo la comida, pero con dólares no te parecerá caro a vos. Saludos desde Argentina 😘
We Argies are masters in surviving the most devastating cyclic economic crises, it happens everytime a liberal-conservative (in the european sense not the US sense) comes to power and try to dismantle the Welfare State that made Argentina different from others in the region
My favorite place to eat is Pizzaria " La Torre" close to the Clock Tower at Retiro Train Station and the Sheraton Hotel. Like to sit a have a white pizza with olives on it and either a bottle of Malbec wine or a big bottle of Quilmes beer. I think some of the waiters are the same as when I was there a lot in the 80's! Also if You like a nice bottle of Malbec there is a delicious one that is called " San Telmo" just like the area that You stayed in. Also a great restaurant in San Telmo is "Desnivel" ( unlevel in English). Heard a rumor that Argentina might be changing to the US dollar as it's official currency like Equador.........Don't know if that is true or not ? Happy travels might run into You somewhere in the World someday.
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much for watching and those recommendations! I will deeeefinitely try that Malbec next time I’m there 👏 🍷
El Desnivel is a great place still nowadays, we porteños reckon it belongs to the glorious category of a Bodegón (Tavern)
Buenos Aires es hermoso, saludos desde Bariloche.
Gracias!
If you have ever seen Wong Kar Wai's "Happy Together" then you know you must visit Iguazu Falls!
It's on my list - I can't wait!
@@TravelWTravis ❤Can I come with?
Hi highly recomend u take the train to tigre and even the ferry to the delta lovely day or weekend trip
I will! ❤️❤️❤️
I remember you ! Café con leche in Merida !
Merida is wayyyyyy too hot for us but we do plan to check out BA.
We are currently living in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala AND LOVE IT ! Perfect weather every day, low cost of living, safe, friendly people….
Think a retired couple could live comfy in BA on say $2000/month ?…maybe in San Telmo or one of the less pricey areas ? Thx !
Haha hiiii! So glad to hear you’re loving Guatemala - I need to come check it out! I’m not sure about that budget in BA - it can definitely be done at the moment, although the country is going through an economic crisis at the moment so not sure what will happen to prices in the future 😬🤷♂️
Hola, si seguis en Buenos Aires, tené mucho cuidado con los mosquitos y el dengue. Yo te recomendaría que si aún no te enfermaste, te vayas a visitar la Patagonia, por lo menos hasta que venga el frío y se vayan los mosquitos! Por otro lado, espero que haya podido visitar el teatro Colón, porque es muy hermoso! Si no fuera por los mosquitos, te recomendaría el Tigre, que está muy cerca de la ciudad. Y la basílica de Luján, a pocos km. Sí te querés alejar del calor y los mosquitos, pero no querés viajar tanto, te recomiendo Mar del Plata, y si estás por la costa, no podés dejar de visitar Pinamar! Hay mosquitos, pero no son de dengue! Espero que disfrutes mucho tu viaje! 😘
Muchas gracias por las recomendaciones!! Las comprobaré todas!
I will be there in 20 something days!
Have the best time!
Iam from Buenos Aires too. It'd be really good to visit the beautiful Xul Solar Museum. Pan Klub Foundation. Xul Solar was an incredible artist (painter and others) and there, you can see and explore his paintings.
Thank you so much for the tips! I'll check that out next time for sure!
It looks gorgeous. How were the costs compared to other places you've been?
It was very affordable for most things (as I'm lucky enough to earn dollars). The AirBnbs were about $1k/month and then everything else was pretty reasonable. Taxis/Ubers were $4-$8 around town, dinners out were around $10/$15 and so many of the attractions/museums were free or very low cost. I'll make more videos on the cost soon, but I wanted to be sensitive to the economic crisis they're currently going through, because I know it's a very difficult time for so many Argentinians at the moment. Thanks so much for watching!
It's so beautiful! It reminds me of CDMX, especially the parks. How would you say it compares to CDMX? I would definitely watch more videos from BA and around Argentina.
If I could make one video editing observation, the music is too loud, it can overpower your voice.
It definitely reminded me of CDMX in parts, although had way more European influences (from the Spanish and Italian). Overall it just felt bigger and slightly less chaotic than CDMX, but they're very similar! And I'll check out the music issue - thanks so much!
que alegriiiia que la hayas pasado tan bien!! so glad! but too much palermo. bs as is so much bigger..and the hole country .. hope you visit places like DELTA! next time..
Te recomiendo el documental "Maravillas ocultas de Argentina" 1 y 2. Te dará grandes ideas para tu próximo viaje!
Gracias!!
Hola Travis, from Mérida. Glad to see you and your adventures in BA. How does it compare to Mérida?
Hola!! It's muuuuuch bigger than Merida (which I miss!). But that's like comparing CDMX to Merida - kind of apples and oranges! Thanks so much for watching!
I can tell this dude was a big Anthony Bourdain fan by the narration at the end
Best compliment ever.
@TravelWTravis You need to visit Santiago Chile too, it's also an amazing city!!
Adding it to my list!
Have you tried eating at Fogon Asada? They have 2 locations. Worth every penny!
I'm vegan, so I don't think they'd have anything for me - but it looks delicious for meat-eaters!
So you stayed from December through January? Sounds great to spend the entire summer there. My only concern is the air quality - does it get exacerbated with the heat and humidity?
I was there from mid-Jan to mid-March, and it was pretty perfect weather. Even when it was hot and humid, it was nice in the shade 🤷♂️ And I didn’t notice the air quality being poor, but I never check 😬 Went running most days though, so it couldn’t have been that bad 😆
Great Video !
Middle of January is normally for us born&bred porteños (like me) sort of having a vacation in Hell
The city is mostly empty due to the heat and humidity.....everybody tries to escape to the seaside, inner rivers and lakes, or just abroad to the shores of Brazil, Uruguay or the Caribbean
The real city charms that make BA uncomparable to the other big metropolis in the world, do unfold in Autumn, Winter and Spring
So glad you did the tour with the inclusion of the one memorial to the 30K murdered by the Junta, sadly now the federal government as well as the city municipal administration (which has been ruining the city for the last 15 years) relate to those dark times
As a child (long long ago) I used to play along the docks and warehouses in the then already abbandoned old grain port (Puerto Madero), funny to the see those poshy beehives now, I travelled the whole world around and been to almost every big port in the different continents, but never saw rats the size of those that chased me and my lads in Puerto Madero when whe annoyed them for children fun
