Travel tips
Take
advantage of the beauty offered by the 23 provinces of this
large country, but don't forget distances. Get good information
before setting out, keep your passport on you at all times,
don't draw attention to yourself, and beware of pickpockets.
Buenos Aires is a large city, considered by many the most
elegant in South America, but like any big city, there are
areas where it is always best to go accompanied or not at
all.
Those coming from North America or Europe will not feel
completely away from home, since Argentina is European and
American. The department of tourism divides the country
into six tourist zones and presents Argentina as the "Country
of Six Continents."
From time to time, you will hear variations on familiar
Spanish. In Buenos Aires, for example, the dialect is called
"lunfardo" and in the whole country the charming personal
pronoun "vos" is used, as it is throughout the region.
Several international airlines like Iberia, KLM, Lufthansa,
and British Airways have regular flights to Argentina from
various locations.
