We just came back from Buenos Aires spending 2 weeks there exploring neighborhoods to possibly live there later this year. We fell in love with colegiales most of all though, I can say that I would be a very happy man living in many neighborhoods that we saw. Thanks so much for the great work. This video was a real great primer for us and gave us a great jumping off point when we arrived. We stayed in airbnbs in several neighborhoods and a hotel in recoleta. Thank you again
Im from Buenos Aires and i must say... this is a great view of the city. Never thought a foreign person could understand another city this good... great sumary. If you coming yo Buenso Aires definetly check this out. Well done by including Caballito and Almagro... definetly residencial neighborhoods that have some value to them. Worth the visit if you want to see how middle class people really lives in Buenos Aires, its a good view on how "normal" people live.
@@annac.8502 Well Argentina, first of all, is divided in provinces, which would be basically states, and its a really big country. I didnt go to all of em honestly, but i dont know if theres a part where people is introverted. Theres definetly places where things are more quiet, i would say the north of the country or the south. The south of the country is really beautifull, check out Bariloche, San Martin de los Andes. But i dont know, you can go to Mendoza too. Definetly not Cordoba or Buenos Aires, people is really extroverted there.

As a flight attendant for a major US airline, I love these videos. I find they are full of practical information, and allow me to travel a little less like your typical "American Tourist" and blend in just a little more with the locals. Thanks Nicki ~ great info that I also share with my passengers!
We stayed in Recoleta during our two-week holiday in Argentina which is still in progress. We're almost finished with my two-week holiday in Argentina: BA, Ushuaia, El Calafate, and back to BA. We found lots of vegan restaurants and most other restaurants have at least a vegetarian option. We did not starve during our Argentine holiday!
Just want to say a huge thank you to Nicki. I decided on a private consultaion with her, which was extremely helpful and reaosnably priced, given all of the very valuable information that Nicki suggests.She is truly interetsed in helping you find the most reasonable priced experiences and her knowledge base is phenomenal.The consultaion with Nicki meant that I could plan for a very bespoke itinerary. Nicki is a true nomad, she is down to hearth and a free spirited traveller.
I lived in Buenos Aires for nearly 10 years. I just returned from a four month visit to Buenos Aires. I lived in the San Telmo neighborhood. It was safe,convenient, and very affordable, but like this video says there is something in Buenos Aires for every taste or budget.Buenos Aires is just awesome on every level.
I just moved to Charcas de Coria in Mendoza. I would say this is my favorite neighborhood so far in Argentina. It's incredible. So relaxed and upscale. By the way, I received my passport renewal for another 10 years even though I'm a couple months past my visa. I'm going to stay in this neighorhood for a few months at least.
Hi Corey- so glad to hear both of those things! Now that you got the passport renewed, you can just relax in your favorite neighborhood in Mendoza!! :)
@@NickiPostsTravelStuff thank you. I could live here in Charcas. I might even consider doing so and I've traveled all over Latam for the last 5 years. This place is a hidden gem for sure. By the way, as usual, awesome job on your video guides. They're still the best I've seen yet.
It's a great video. I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina for 10 years and Buenos Aires has something for everyone. I just returned from a four month tour of Argentina 🇦🇷 and Brazil 🇧🇷 and Uruguay 🇺🇾. I spent 4 months in the San Telmo neighborhood, and it was awesome. My plan is to purchase an apartment in San Telmo. Then open a small business that I can walk to every day. Again, this is a great video 📹.
Hi Nicki I'm retiring around the very end of the year and I'm going to start traveling and my first stop on my list is Buenos Aries and I stumbled upon your channel and I use it now for up to date information and things I'll need to know before I leave the US. I'll be traveling solo and wanted to say thank you so much for the info very much appreciate you.
Awesome! In Caballito, you can also find the Barrio Inglés (English neighborhood), which has some charming residential architecture. I would also add Balvanera to the list.
As a porteño, I must say you managed to give tons of information of my city in just 15 minutes. I would add the Villa Devoto neighbourhood, It´s a very nice low density zone (no tall buildings, lots of nice houses), beautiful streets, very safe, with fancy cafes and restaurants near the train station and near the main plaza. It´s rare to meet a tourist there cause it´s out of the circuit and there is no subway connection but you can go with the "San Martin" train line from Retiro terminal station to Devoto station, or with the Urquiza train line from Federico Lacroze terminal station (this terminal station is in barrio Chacarita, just next to Villa Crespo) to A. Devoto station. Both Devoto stations are near, and the cafes zone is just a couple of blocks away. I love to go there cause it´s not central and not as hectic as Palermo, which it´s too gentrified and kinda overcrowded for me, but of course if you visit Palermo as a tourist you´ll love it
Thanks, Nicki. I have been planning to travel to Argentina and your videos are helping me figure out the best places to stay and visit. I'm certain I'll really enjoy Buenos Aires. Nice job!
Hi Nicki, This is a great video. I have been to Buenos Aires three times for work. The last visit was in August of 2008. We stayed in the City Center and had little time to be a tourist. I am now a retired senior citizen and my husband and I will visit next January for three days post-cruise. I am looking forward to reviewing all your videos. I am most concerned about the money situation. Keep up the great work!!!!
Not cool... you are tempting me more and more to visit this country :-D Your videos are super informative. Been going onto Google Maps to explore the places you visited. It looks super awesome. Keep it up!
Very nice review of my city in over 15'. Buenos Aires is beautiful and huge, so to explore it may take long but it's worth. Having lived all my life here, I've been to all these places at least once but it makes me think I should move around more! I'm proud of my hometown but to have such appreciation coming from foreigners always has a distinctive flavour. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for BA. Hope your stay has been memorable. 💙🤍💙
Pero que regios son todos tus videos !!! Que lindo ,me encanta ,se nota que le tomaste cariño a BA ,mí barrio preferido es Belgrano R y creo que deberías hacer un vídeo ahi y mostrar la hermosa Avenida Melián y en apenas unas cuadras de ahí ,la Plaza Castelli y todos los pequeños restaurantes y cafetería a su alrededor
@@NickiPostsTravelStuff Gracias por mostrar nuestro país al tuyo. Ojalá vuelvas pronto y descubras cosas lindas de estás pampas no solo B.A q es una megalópolis increíble q enamora a todo turista porque es diferente a otras capitales de la región en cuanto a su arquitectura , parques o grandes pero grandes avenidas como la 9 de julio q tiene 150 mts de ancho única en el mundo y 3 km d largo. En el sur hay muchas bellezas, Bariloche, San Martin de los Andes , el glaciar Perito Moreno, etc. Somos muy cálidos y amigables para con los turistas , amamos el tango, la pizza, la milanesa, el choripan , el mate , el dulce de leche, los helados y espero q tus compatriotas nos sigan descubriendo. HURRY BACK querida amiga , te esperamos con los brazos más que abiertos. Te mando un beso enorme.
@@NickiPostsTravelStuff Me olvidaba Nicki , cuando vuelvas a visitarnos, te recomiendo q hagas un vídeo sobre la historia de los palacios en B.A , te vas a sorprender de tanta variedad , son increíbles , y quiero q conozcas a un gran historiador argentino llamado Daniel Balmaceda que te puede decir cuántos palacios se construyeron desde 1880 hasta 1930 d las familias argentinas que eran muy adineradas. Es muy linda la historia. Bye.
I stayed in Villa Crespo last year, and it was a good slightly cheaper alternative to Palermo. But I really fell in love with Belgrano. Núñez also looks great. So many areas I still need to explore.
I love Villa Crespo as an alternative to Palermo, definitely! Belgrano is great too, and Nuñez is sooo chill! There are SO many things to explore in BA. I feel like you could spend a lifetime there and still learn something new everyday!
For the one who doesn't know, Palermo, Recoleta, Nuñez and Belgrano are all "barrios chetos" that means that are neighborhoods of people with money, people of middle class, upper middle class or upper class
@@coconut1719which neighborhoods are good for the normal people, but safe with good public transport for someone who's from a third world country? Just where locals live
Thanks Nicki as always your videos are packed with valuable information- big thank you from the UK. I am going for a few weeks to Argentina, with 4 days BA, 4in El calafate and the rest in Uruguay...so am looking at all of your vids to put something together. Thank you again
I love that you included Belgrano, Nunez and other areas that are worthy of a visit. Belgrano R is gorgeous. I think when you say something is "overpriced", people should know that may be a $10 meal, the prices in BA are so much cheaper than anywhere else basically. I had a steak dinner for $5 in Belgrano recently.
That makes sense. But everything in the video is in context within Buenos Aires. I don't know where people are from who are watching the video so I don't know their personal context for overpriced or not. That's great that you found such an affordable steak in Belgrano.
Mar del plata es linda, pero con menos atracciones que Buenos Aires. Ya q es mas pequeña. Recomendada entre octubre y Noviembre. Y mitad de Diciembre. Desde el 20 de Diciembre hasta Marzo se llena de turistas....eso si que es Otra gran experiencia 😂😂😂
We are heading to BA next year for a few months and am just discovering you... I really appreciate your tone and communication style! Looking forward to learning more from your other videos. :)
Nicki a haven't seen or heard from you since the video you did, the one that has a maids quarters plus TWO bedrooms for about two hundred dollars. If there's anyway I can get that information I would appreciate it. And I will keep watching your informative videos. Thanks!
I loved this video it is really on point how you describe the neighborhoods and it's suprising how you included barrios like Belgrano, Nuñez and Colegiales and I'm really glad haha cause I live around there, actually in Coghlan/Saavedra which are safe and quiet neighborhoods but maybe they're much more 'middle class' barrios than Belgrano or Núñez
We hope to spend a couple months in BA. Can you give me some idea how much we are looking at for rent in Palermo vs San Telmo ?...just a simple one bedroom.... thanks !
Did you visit the Barrio Ingles in Caballito when you stayed here? And Pedro Goyena Avenue? Very upscale area in Caballito, very beautiful too. And the part of Almagro you showed is literally less than a block away from my flat haha. It’s a very residential area, but full of business and shops. And extremely well connected to the rest of the city
As an Argentinian but living 40 years in the U.S you did a great job covering the neighborhoods. I grew up in Nunez and it was great which of course is next to Belgrano which was always a good neighborhood. The way things are going in the U.S who knows, maybe I'll spend 1 year in Argentina. I'm sure it'll be pretty cheap with the exchange...
There are currently ~17.000 aircrafts airborn right now, how many aviation accidents you get to see on the news per year? You're safe, pack a bag and travel :)
A Caballito y Almagro sumaría Boedo, creo que tiene un aire bastante bohemio muy inspirado en el tango similar a San Telmo o La Boca, y es más seguro y agradable para vivir, mucho transporte y cerca de lugares históricos para turistear
i see the video casuality, but is amazing, caballito is beautiful, en palermo encontras muchisimas cosas hermosas, y en san telmo tambien, en general todo lugar tiene algo que difrerencia del otro, me encanto el video
Missed other zones of Palermo btw... Palermo is big and its not only Soho, Chico and Hollywood... Alto Palermo? Cañitas? Pacifico? Botanico? The zone close to Abasto and Pueyrredon (no sub name... ), etc etc Also missed Urquiza, Chacarita, Saavedra... Could also add Devoto, Abasto, Retiro, Parque Chacabuco, Flores, Floresta, Parque Patricios, Paternal, Villa del Parque. All really good neighborhoods too.
I'm excited to try the scones at your favorite bakery in Recoleta that you mentioned at 6:45, but I'm not clear on whether it's the "most famous" restaurant you mentioned right before or the empanada place you mentioned right after, or somewhere else. Could you clarify where these unmissable scones are? Thanks!
Hi Kenn- sorry for any confusion. These amazing scones were from Andra Bakery. The empanadas at San Juanino are fantastic as well, but the scones specifically are from Andra. it's just a tiny little cafe with a bright blue door! :) The more famous restaurant in that area is called La Biela.
i have been living in buenos airies for 3 months now and i would say this is a very good guide however it could easily be misleading to outsiders, such as when i watched this video before I came. My advice is stick to the more outlying areas she mentions. No matter where you live in BA there will be PLENTY to do and see around you. It's a thick city. You won't be deprived of services or experiences anywhere you live so venture further out for a 'chiller' but also still intense thick experience. My 2 cents.
God, I miss my city! I lived in the neighborhood Villa Devoto, which is also another residential beautiful place, for 22 years. Now I live in Ituzaingo, outside of the city, and I'm sick of it. Can't wait to go back to the magic of Buenos Aires City.
Nicki, what neighborhoods do you recommend for families who may not want to live directly in the city but maybe on the beach in a more nature based setting? Thank you!
San Isidro y Vicente lópez ( En Buenos Aires ) Si realmente quieres un entorno natural de playa debes ir a visitar en el Verano de Argentina estos lugares : Mar de las pampas, Cariló. Pinamar, o mas lejos en Patagonia : Las grutas o Puerto Madryn.
Hi Nicki. Thank you for the very useful info. I've watched several of your videos. Are you familiar with traveling to other part of Argentina? We are planning to visit Patagonia in addition to spending a week in BA. Any insights? Should we make all the reservations in advance or there are ways to do this cheaper from BA? Thank you much!
Hi I want to visit maybe Sept or Oct 2024 I only have 8 days there is it safe to say 4 days in each place with Palermo being one and Buenos Aries being 2nd? I'm assuming I should stay in Palermo 4 day hotel there then take a Uber to BA or which is the fastest and or safest way to go to BA from there or visa versa depending on where I stay first Also, in your opinion. And I know this might sound dumb but if I go at the time where it's less crowds during the spring season, Sept-Nov will I be less of a target only due to less scammers on the streets or WORSE OF A TARGET since there is no one on the streets? I'm also assuming all other cities around Buenos Aries are much safer ? I mainly want to go to BA to see museums and take pics 🙄🙄While trying to be inconspicuous and or I don't mind taking a disposable camera, maybe that's best.? If the thieves DONT SEE MY PHONE, then u think I'll be less of. Target, but would I be safer taking pictures with my phone somewhere else other than Buenos Aries? And if I go in September or October, should I bring a spring jacket or how to dress? Thanks PS. I'll change money in Amercia first and take it with me. I only hope when I get change it'll be REAL MONEY NOT FAKE🤔🙄🙄🙄😪 ALSO DO I get the bus pass at the airport ? How much should I load on it for 8 to 9 days Sorry, i didn't finish the video🙄
We just returned from BA and loved it! We are very interested in buying property in Palermo Soho or some of the neighborhoods you recommended. Do you know of a good real estate attorney or agent that you would recommend?
Depends on what you're looking for. If you want to go out, Palermo. Though San Telmo has great places to go out as well. The Sunday market is in San Telmo and it would be nice to be close by.
Thank you for the information. In 2024, I plan on visiting Buenos Aires for 3 months and looking for a place to rent for the duration. Your videos are step stones for me to plan this trip. Thank you.
I would it be possible to find a one bedroom one bathroom one living room. Mildly modern apartment in Palermo or center or almagro for 500$. If so how modern
Hmmm I don't want to say impossible, but it is becoming less possible lately, especially in Palermo. You could probably find something closer to 600-700 in Palermo for what you're looking for. But I don't want to say impossible. You could ask around once you get there and see if someone you know knows someone renting an apt!
@@NickiPostsTravelStuff es una megalopolis de 17M habitantes y por CABA circulan un promedio d 7M personas en solo 200 Km2!, hay q estar atentos con los objetos y no perderlos d vista, t pudo haber pasado en cualquier otro lugar d la ciudad y d eso no esta exento ciudades como Paris, por ej, q es el centro turistico del mundo, hay infinidad d robo d este tipo alli....
Como argentina trato de evitar esos barrios 🤭 fui solo una vez y me sentí extranjera. Esos barrios estaban abandonados está que llegó la inmigración de hace unos 15 años y se pobló. Es como ir al Bronx en la década del 70. Coraje de caminar por ahí …
Hi Niki: I am going to Buenos Aires VERY soon. My intentions are to establish myself as an expat. To live there some years. Like a good many expats, I live on a budget. I believe that's a subject category, catering to a significant element of our American citizens. And it has good viewership on Utube and you are well versed in the subject. I have viewed quite a few of your videos as well as others. The video that I found most relevant and of most interesting to me was... the one you made of the apartment that had two bedrooms and a maids quarters for... Around two hundred dollars. Wow!! I want to have that place. What neighborhood is that on? Tell us about THAT neighborhood. Please. Good bad or indifferent?
Her Will, can you tell me the title of the video you’re talking about? I can’t think of any apartment I lived in with 2 bedrooms and a maid’s quarters in Argentina. Is it possible you watched a Gringo Nation video about living in Georgia?
Can we say "colonial" though? I mean, all the territories Spain conquered were given same status as Europe's continental Spain, there were viceroyalties with a head of government representing the king of Spain which was a viceroy, all territories from Virreinato de la Nueva España till Capitania general de Chile and Virreinato del Rio de la Plata was part of Spain, not colonies.
Hi there! Awesome videos. I am heading to BA next month with my wife. Which neighborhood would you recommend to stay for folks who like nice coffee shops, bakeries and dislike high rises?
Exellent video, American Girls are super pretty I must to admit it. Did someone ever told you that you look very similar to the actress Catherine Anne O'Hara from the movie Home Alone?
Hi, Nicki, I'm moving to BA next year and need a fair amount of quiet as I'm a writer. Of these neighborhoods, which would lean towards being more chill? thanks a lot, Frank
As an Argentian who lives in BA, I would say Coghlan, Parque Chas or some places of Caballito might work. The more you get far from the neiborhoods mentioned on this video, the calmer it becomes. And also cheaper.
You could be in a "quiet" neighborhood with tons of street noise. Only rent contrafrete, or flats in the back and not inside ones facing a dark courtyard.
If you have the time, then no. There are always things to do in BA. But if you're looking for nature as well, then you could do one week in BA, and one week outside the capital.
Constructive criticism, it would be very helpful to print the names of the places on the video when you talk about them. Hard to search on Google maps trying to figure out the spelling.

For the one who doesn't know, Palermo, Recoleta, Nuñez and Belgrano are all "barrios chetos" that means that are neighborhoods of people with money, people of middle class, upper middle class or upper class
@@coconut1719which neighborhoods are good for the normal people, but safe with good public transport for someone who's from a third world country? Just where locals live
Muy buen trabajo, felicitaciones y saludos desde Buenos Aires
Gracias:)
Thanks Nicki as always your videos are packed with valuable information- big thank you from the UK. I am going for a few weeks to Argentina, with 4 days BA, 4in El calafate and the rest in Uruguay...so am looking at all of your vids to put something together.
Thank you again
Im looking forward to slow-traveling Uruguay and Argentina October 2024-March 2025. Focusing on culinary and vineyard touring.
Excelente Vídeo 🙏, tengas un feliz Finde ❤️, Saludos 🙋🏻♂️
Gracias Rodrigo, vos también:)
Great video. Thank you for your overview. 😊
Excellent information. Thanks!
I grew up in Banfield, my dad was born in San Telmo. I live in Tx but when i visit i stayed with my brothers in Banfield.
Great video BTW.
That’s so cool, great experience! 💙
Very informative video, well convinced and well photographed.
Thank you so much 💜
I love that you included Belgrano, Nunez and other areas that are worthy of a visit. Belgrano R is gorgeous. I think when you say something is "overpriced", people should know that may be a $10 meal, the prices in BA are so much cheaper than anywhere else basically. I had a steak dinner for $5 in Belgrano recently.
That makes sense. But everything in the video is in context within Buenos Aires. I don't know where people are from who are watching the video so I don't know their personal context for overpriced or not. That's great that you found such an affordable steak in Belgrano.
How about Mar De Plata?
Mar del plata es linda, pero con menos atracciones que Buenos Aires. Ya q es mas pequeña. Recomendada entre octubre y Noviembre. Y mitad de Diciembre. Desde el 20 de Diciembre hasta Marzo se llena de turistas....eso si que es Otra gran experiencia 😂😂😂
We are heading to BA next year for a few months and am just discovering you... I really appreciate your tone and communication style! Looking forward to learning more from your other videos. :)
Nice, I also lived in Almagro in 2005 close to Subte A Loria station.
Nicki a haven't seen or heard from you since the video you did, the one
that has a maids quarters plus TWO bedrooms for about two hundred dollars. If there's anyway I can get that information I would appreciate it. And I will keep watching your informative videos. Thanks!
You may have confused me with someone else. I never lived in an apartment like that in Argentina.
I loved this video it is really on point how you describe the neighborhoods and it's suprising how you included barrios like Belgrano, Nuñez and Colegiales and I'm really glad haha cause I live around there, actually in Coghlan/Saavedra which are safe and quiet neighborhoods but maybe they're much more 'middle class' barrios than Belgrano or Núñez
Thank you so much for watching. BA has many great neighborhoods! :)
Superb video! Your insights are so helpful. Argentina is looking better and better to me thanks to you👍🏻👏🏻🙏🤙🏻
So happy to hear!! Argentina is amazing! :)
We hope to spend a couple months in BA. Can you give me some idea how much we are looking at for rent in Palermo vs San Telmo ?...just a simple one bedroom.... thanks !
Great video with such good information!
Thank you so much, Tom!! :)
Did you visit the Barrio Ingles in Caballito when you stayed here? And Pedro Goyena Avenue? Very upscale area in Caballito, very beautiful too. And the part of Almagro you showed is literally less than a block away from my flat haha. It’s a very residential area, but full of business and shops. And extremely well connected to the rest of the city
You will always be very welcome 🇦🇷
Moving (permanently) to Recoleta June 1. Have my apartment. See you soon!
Amazing! Have the best time!! :)
😂😂😂 estás loco !!
As an Argentinian but living 40 years in the U.S you did a great job covering the neighborhoods. I grew up in Nunez and it was great which of course is next to Belgrano which was always a good neighborhood. The way things are going in the U.S who knows, maybe I'll spend 1 year in Argentina. I'm sure it'll be pretty cheap with the exchange...
You definitely should!!!!! 💙💙
Ahhhh Argentina de mi corazon, ohh how I want to go back if only I weren’t terrified of flying 😢
I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you’ll get the chance to go again!
There are currently ~17.000 aircrafts airborn right now, how many aviation accidents you get to see on the news per year? You're safe, pack a bag and travel :)

Hi! 9 de Julio Ave is the widest. Rivadavia Ave is the longest.
Awesome episode Nicki, greetings
Thank you so much, Axel! :)
@@NickiPostsTravelStuff It's not said La Recoleta is just Recoleta
@@axelpap4613 Thanks so much. That always confuses me because I’ve seen it written both ways before!
@@NickiPostsTravelStuff Ok 👍
I could live here and feel right at home, it looks like Italy and France rolled into one.
Good stuff Nicki!
Thank you, Mart! :)
20-30" by taxi outside capital BsAs is the Tigre delta, taking river bus, cheap, is like an amazon jungle ride, DONT MISS IT
Great video ! by the way, you have beautiful electric blue eyes.
Oh thank you!
Wow this was so helpful!!!
Oh great, I’m so happy to hear that! :)
hi Nicki, great video !!! enjoy BA !
Thank you! :)
Thank you for the recommendation I am in Buenos Aires Argentina
A Caballito y Almagro sumaría Boedo, creo que tiene un aire bastante bohemio muy inspirado en el tango similar a San Telmo o La Boca, y es más seguro y agradable para vivir, mucho transporte y cerca de lugares históricos para turistear
So very informative, thank you!
Procreate clips are awesome addition! Subscribed 😊
i see the video casuality, but is amazing, caballito is beautiful, en palermo encontras muchisimas cosas hermosas, y en san telmo tambien, en general todo lugar tiene algo que difrerencia del otro, me encanto el video
Gracias 💙
@@NickiPostsTravelStuff come back soon
Missed other zones of Palermo btw...
Palermo is big and its not only Soho, Chico and Hollywood...
Alto Palermo? Cañitas? Pacifico? Botanico? The zone close to Abasto and Pueyrredon (no sub name... ), etc etc
Also missed Urquiza, Chacarita, Saavedra... Could also add Devoto, Abasto, Retiro, Parque Chacabuco, Flores, Floresta, Parque Patricios, Paternal, Villa del Parque. All really good neighborhoods too.
I'm excited to try the scones at your favorite bakery in Recoleta that you mentioned at 6:45, but I'm not clear on whether it's the "most famous" restaurant you mentioned right before or the empanada place you mentioned right after, or somewhere else. Could you clarify where these unmissable scones are? Thanks!
Hi Kenn- sorry for any confusion. These amazing scones were from Andra Bakery. The empanadas at San Juanino are fantastic as well, but the scones specifically are from Andra. it's just a tiny little cafe with a bright blue door! :) The more famous restaurant in that area is called La Biela.
@@NickiPostsTravelStuff Thanks for that! We'll check them out.
@@kennnesbitt Enjoy!! :)
@@NickiPostsTravelStuff La Biela no es precisamente un restaurante, es un bar/confitería en donde también se puede almorzar o cenar.
i have been living in buenos airies for 3 months now and i would say this is a very good guide however it could easily be misleading to outsiders, such as when i watched this video before I came. My advice is stick to the more outlying areas she mentions. No matter where you live in BA there will be PLENTY to do and see around you. It's a thick city. You won't be deprived of services or experiences anywhere you live so venture further out for a 'chiller' but also still intense thick experience. My 2 cents.
God, I miss my city! I lived in the neighborhood Villa Devoto, which is also another residential beautiful place, for 22 years. Now I live in Ituzaingo, outside of the city, and I'm sick of it. Can't wait to go back to the magic of Buenos Aires City.
Nicki, what neighborhoods do you recommend for families who may not want to live directly in the city but maybe on the beach in a more nature based setting? Thank you!
San Isidro y Vicente lópez ( En Buenos Aires ) Si realmente quieres un entorno natural de playa debes ir a visitar en el Verano de Argentina estos lugares : Mar de las pampas, Cariló. Pinamar, o mas lejos en Patagonia : Las grutas o Puerto Madryn.
MAR DE LAS PAMPAS
Hi Nicki.
Thank you for the very useful info. I've watched several of your videos. Are you familiar with traveling to other part of Argentina? We are planning to visit Patagonia in addition to spending a week in BA. Any insights? Should we make all the reservations in advance or there are ways to do this cheaper from BA? Thank you much!
Hi I want to visit maybe Sept or Oct 2024 I only have 8 days there is it safe to say 4 days in each place with Palermo being one and Buenos Aries being 2nd?
I'm assuming I should stay in Palermo 4 day hotel there then take a Uber to BA or which is the fastest and or safest way to go to BA from there or visa versa depending on where I stay first
Also, in your opinion. And I know this might sound dumb but if I go at the time where it's less crowds during the spring season, Sept-Nov will I be less of a target only due to less scammers on the streets or WORSE OF A TARGET since there is no one on the streets?
I'm also assuming all other cities around Buenos Aries are much safer ? I mainly want to go to BA to see museums and take pics 🙄🙄While trying to be inconspicuous and or I don't mind taking a disposable camera, maybe that's best.?
If the thieves DONT SEE MY PHONE, then u think I'll be less of. Target, but would I be safer taking pictures with my phone somewhere else other than Buenos Aries?
And if I go in September or October, should I bring a spring jacket or how to dress?
Thanks
PS. I'll change money in Amercia first and take it with me. I only hope when I get change it'll be REAL MONEY NOT FAKE🤔🙄🙄🙄😪
ALSO DO I get the bus pass at the airport ? How much should I load on it for 8 to 9 days
Sorry, i didn't finish the video🙄
We just returned from BA and loved it! We are very interested in buying property in Palermo Soho or some of the neighborhoods you recommended. Do you know of a good real estate attorney or agent that you would recommend?
awesome breakdown, thank you! What percentage of natives/locals speak english there?
Love all your videos- they are super helpful! For a quick first time stay, Thurs-Sun, would you recommend Palermo or San Telmo?
Depends on what you're looking for. If you want to go out, Palermo. Though San Telmo has great places to go out as well. The Sunday market is in San Telmo and it would be nice to be close by.
Thank you for the information. In 2024, I plan on visiting Buenos Aires for 3 months and looking for a place to rent for the duration. Your videos are step stones for me to plan this trip. Thank you.
Oh excellent, I’m so glad I can be of help to you! :)
I’m traveling on May. How’s the transportation there to go to these places??
I actually have a video about transportation within BA that could be very useful to you! :)
Tienes subte, y metrobús, taxi + Google Maps ningún problema. Solo recuerda que es Latinoamérica se discreta y no exhibas tu tecnología sin cuidado.
the fare is about 10 cents in US dollars and it goes everywhere
I would it be possible to find a one bedroom one bathroom one living room. Mildly modern apartment in Palermo or center or almagro for 500$. If so how modern
Hmmm I don't want to say impossible, but it is becoming less possible lately, especially in Palermo. You could probably find something closer to 600-700 in Palermo for what you're looking for. But I don't want to say impossible. You could ask around once you get there and see if someone you know knows someone renting an apt!
where would you buy a small house or apt

Como argentina trato de evitar esos barrios 🤭 fui solo una vez y me sentí extranjera. Esos barrios estaban abandonados está que llegó la inmigración de hace unos 15 años y se pobló. Es como ir al Bronx en la década del 70. Coraje de caminar por ahí …

Very convincing,I live in Jordan but my brother want move there
Oh cool! I loved Jordan too! :)

Hey! I live in one of the buildings you shot by the end of the video. Should you want to take some 22nd floor snapshots, just let me know!
Do you have a good recommendation for a real estate attorney and agent in the Buenos Aires? We are very interested in buying property.
Hi Niki: I am going to Buenos Aires
VERY soon. My intentions are to establish myself as an expat. To live there some years. Like a good many expats, I live on a budget. I believe that's a subject category, catering to
a significant element of our American citizens. And it has good viewership on Utube and you are well versed in the subject. I have viewed quite a few of your videos as well as others. The video that I found most relevant and of most interesting to me was... the one you made of the apartment that had two bedrooms and a maids quarters for... Around
two hundred dollars. Wow!! I want to have that place. What neighborhood is that on? Tell us about THAT neighborhood. Please.
Good bad or indifferent?
Her Will, can you tell me the title of the video you’re talking about? I can’t think of any apartment I lived in with 2 bedrooms and a maid’s quarters in Argentina. Is it possible you watched a Gringo Nation video about living in Georgia?
Do you have a video with places to eat that are good but not too expensive with prices in dollars, I’m going in November
I do Jane a food video in San Telmo, but I don’t have a video specifically with what you’re looking for. However, most restaurants are affordable! :)
Hey Nicki, just a nitpick: you said the architecture in San Telmo is "pre-colonial." It's not. It's just "colonial." Excellent video!
Thanks for nitpicking, Edward. Love that for you ❤️
@@NickiPostsTravelStuff Pre colonial would be indigenous
Can we say "colonial" though? I mean, all the territories Spain conquered were given same status as Europe's continental Spain, there were viceroyalties with a head of government representing the king of Spain which was a viceroy, all territories from Virreinato de la Nueva España till Capitania general de Chile and Virreinato del Rio de la Plata was part of Spain, not colonies.
Hi there! Awesome videos. I am heading to BA next month with my wife. Which neighborhood would you recommend to stay for folks who like nice coffee shops, bakeries and dislike high rises?
Recoleta or Palermo! :)
Palermo. Fue best Pizza: La Accademia.
Exellent video, American Girls are super pretty I must to admit it. Did someone ever told you that you look very similar to the actress Catherine Anne O'Hara from the movie Home Alone?
Hi, Nicki, I'm moving to BA next year and need a fair amount of quiet as I'm a writer. Of these neighborhoods, which would lean towards being more chill? thanks a lot, Frank
Hey! Probably Belgrano or Nuñez! :)
As an Argentian who lives in BA, I would say Coghlan, Parque Chas or some places of Caballito might work. The more you get far from the neiborhoods mentioned on this video, the calmer it becomes. And also cheaper.
gracias Mauro@@maurobilotti
You could be in a "quiet" neighborhood with tons of street noise. Only rent contrafrete, or flats in the back and not inside ones facing a dark courtyard.
Is two weeks in Buenos Aires too much?
If you have the time, then no. There are always things to do in BA. But if you're looking for nature as well, then you could do one week in BA, and one week outside the capital.
When you say "summer" do you mean December - February (when it is hottest down there)?
When I say summer, I’m referring to local seasons! :)
Yes
how about for the retired people
Imperdonable no poner Retiro, y su plaza San Martin. En que pensabas?
Yes and Calle Arroyo
En la seguridad...Tenes la villa ahi pegada...quizas por eso no lo recomendo, aunque es muy lindo
Constructive criticism, it would be very helpful to print the names of the places on the video when you talk about them. Hard to search on Google maps trying to figure out the spelling.
Nice video
Casa Rosada is Government House, not a residence like the White House. The President has an official mansion in the northern suburbs
