He is on my list but he only seems to advertise his gigs on the day. I really like to be able to plan a little :)

Re: All about Buenos Aires !!

I agree with almost everything the guys said, but to make the long story short. Don't worry so much, we are probably the safer "big city" in South America among Santiago and Montevideo.

About money you won't have any issues, as somebody said, you can exchange in any bank, but my advice is just to do it in the airport when you arrive, since they have the best rates and the fluctuation of the currency it's not so dramatic.

I would choose Palermo to stay and just take the bus/cab/uber to San Telmo in the day time if you are into antiques, just the oposite to the plan you have. Palermo is a nicer place by day and night and closer to everything.

And lastly, you can just avoid the cabs, and use Uber that works like a charm here...

best of luck ;)

Some wise words there..

Martin does not kinda fit on younger clubbers (not sure why really) but he is always a deal.

[QUOTE=DIDI;1207826]...what do you mean closer to everything.?? What is everything. ??? I really like that San Telmo is old !! :lol:...[/QUOTE]

I mean the pretty places, avenues to walk, the subway, The Zoo, The Botanic garden, The Palermo lake, Los Rosedales, Costanera Norte (river), etc, also convenient if you go to places like The Bow or the best open air parties in the river like Rio Electronic and PM.

I personally don't like San Telmo, it's dirtier and between La Boca and San Cristobal (even more ugly and dirtier), it's true that it's a turistic area with many museums and all that, but nothing to do with the woods and the streets of Palermo, at least for me. Of course if you made a research and feel comfortable with the vibe go ahead, maybe if you come just for some weeks you could enjoy the experience of being a turist in that area of the south of the city, but I prefer the center and the north ;)

Re: All about Buenos Aires !!

^^^Firstly thank you again for mentioning some more good things to do. :) I thought the Zoo had been closed down. ?? I like all those things you say, well except daytime parties ;), and there is nothing to stop me from doing them , in fact I will be :) Palmero isn't that far from San Telmo. But Melbourne has most of those things in abundance. I live walking distance from an amazing botanical gardens , also walking distance from a lovely lake in, fact my gym is on that lake. It sounds as though Palmero is not unlike where I live now. :lol: The history ofAustralia and Argentina was very similar at one stage. I want to know more. :) From what I have researched so far, San Telmo will give me more of that history.

The Lake , My Gym is where the blue doors are .

Re: All about Buenos Aires !!

beautiful place! you are right, similar history and same weather with AU because of the location in the map and good wines alike ;). I guess you will be fine in San Telmo, I mean I feel Palermo safer, nicer and closer to all what I like for everyday, but just 5km distance one of each other so, no rush.

#1779284Post 53 of 91

Re: All about Buenos Aires !!

5 K ? That means Palermo is walking distance. :) That happens to be how far around that lake is and I walk it often. The walk to Palermo will be my substitute for my lake. :) Haven't tried your wines , although I have heard of them I very rarely drink but I will have to at least try your wines. :) I'm going to have fun !! :D

To be exact, just to give you two references from the market of San Telmo to the MALBA museum in the core of Palermo there are 6.5km, but Palermo is the biggest neighberhood of the city though, depending on the spot could be more or less, but you have 7km average. I think it's a long distance to walk it more than once but not impossible.

More than 5K but anyway you can enjoy a walk all the way from San Telmo / Recoleta to Palermo through Av del Libertador.. according to google: (8.3 km) por Av. del Libertador

Wines.. Of course try Malbec which is the best stuff here .. Malbec in other countries is ridiculously expensive (if you can even get one) and fairly worse :)

Re: All about Buenos Aires !!

Good serious gyms anywhere ??

#1779440Post 64 of 91

Re: All about Buenos Aires !!

there are big chains of gyms, pretty nice and complete:

sportclub [url="https://www.sportclub.com.ar/site/sedes/en-caba#elegi-tu-sede"]SportClub[/url] megatlon [url="http://www.megatlon.com/sedes"]MEGATLON | Sedes[/url]

these ones are well known here. You can pay per day, or month, or as you like. I don´t live in San Telmo, so I don´t know any small gym around there.

#1779443Post 65 of 91

Re: All about Buenos Aires !!

yep

[url="http://www.megatlon.com/sedes/puertomadero"]MEGATLON | Sede Puerto Madero[/url] .. That´s a good one (don´t know the price tho, probably not cheap) but well worth it.. Walking distance from San Telmo.

#1779454Post 66 of 91

Re: All about Buenos Aires !!

Thanks to both of you :) But they are sort of the opposite of the sort of gym I go to. I've looked hard and the the only one I found that seemed to be like mine was was a crossfit gym which doesn't seem to be around anymore :( My trainer has done a program for me with lots of alternative exercises but firstly I am absolutely shit at doing programs on my own, I need to be told to do it. :lol: Secondly I will miss the weights.

This is my gym . Definitely not a beautiful people gym :lol: I'm not in any of the pics btw. :)

It's a bit of a running joke that people always ask me for directions. Today had a guy shove a piece of paper with an address on it in front of me and said something in Spanish. So i guess I am passing for a local. :lol: And a friendly one :lol:

Re: All about Buenos Aires !!

Trying to buy a ticket, Guy Mantzur, from Tickertek is a nightmare . Site doesn't google translate , doing one phase at a time by the time you get to a certain stage it times out . Then when you get to close to the end they tell you you have to pick it up with your DNI , passport in my case, and the card used to buy it. Haven't they heard it is the 21st century ??? Can't believe I can't just get a downloaded ticket.
