Useful Information About Buenos Aires CLADEA 2014 Buenos Aires 1 Useful information about Buenos Aires CLADEA 2014 Buenos Aires 1. Tips for money exchange Due to economy policies we have had these few last years, foreign exchange has two markets: the official one and the so-called “blue” (not legal but which most people use). As tourists you can access the official market in banks and foreign exchange offices. We strongly recommend that you stick to it and not try buying in the blue market. While walking along downtown streets you will be offered money exchange by people standing in the corners. These are what we call “arbolitos” (small trees). Their rate is usually very good but making a transaction with them is quite risky. Where to get reliable Exchange information • www.bna.com.ar – página oficial. • www.afip.gob.ar – página oficial. • www.ambito.com -- página no oficial. • www.lanacion.com.ar/dolar-hoy – página no oficial. Some other useful tips on money • Tax Free Shopping – Foreign tourists can get the IVA tax (VAT) refunded when buying domestic goods as from $70. To get this percentage discounted, you should ask to be given a “B” ticket at stores and the “Refunding Check” stating the amount to be refunded. Any imported good you may buy should be in a different ticket. Before departure you should show the acquired goods, the ticket and check to be stamped at customs. The amount to be refunded is the 21% of the full price, which corresponds to the IVA. • Please note: Some restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, may prefer to receive dollars so they can give you a better exchange rate. Always ask before paying, if you are interested in paying cash. 2. Moving along CLADEA 2014 – Buenos Aires Useful information about Buenos Aires At night, when there’s not so much traffic, a taxi may be a good idea. If you decide to take a taxi be sure to have some money change or else tell the driver beforehand. Taxi fares are fixed, you should pay what the clock in front of the vehicle shows. Bear in mind that there’s an extra charge at night and if you ask for the taxi by phone. It’s better to take a “radio-taxi” (company owned cars). These companies are good: Radio taxi Premium www. taxi premium.com/ phone 5238-0000 / 4374-6666. Radio Taxi Pídalo http://www.radiotaxipidalo.com.ar/ Phone 4956-1200 / 4932-2222 Del Plata Radio taxi http://www.delplataradiotaxi.com/ Phone 4505-1111 / 4504-7776 During daytime it may be better to take the subway, especially during rush hours. In October the weather is fine so walking is another good option. When travelling by bus, subway or train most people pay with a magnetic card called SUBE. You can also pay with coins but be sure to have at least $6 in coins for buses. You can buy tickets at any train or subway station. This interactive map may help you find the best way to get anywhere in Buenos Aires: http://www.turismo.buenosaires.gob.ar/es/article/mapa-interactivo-%C2%BFc%C3%B3mo-viajo- desde-y-hasta . You can also download it to your phone: http://www.turismo.buenosaires.gob.ar/es/article/aplicaciones-para-m%C3%B3viles 3. Tips There are some places where tipping maybe be considered offensive, well that’s not what happens in Buenos Aires! In bars and restaurants a 10% or 15% tip is OK. It is never included (you may confuse it with the “servicio” or “cubierto” but it’s not the same). As with taxis, be sure to have some change for tips, you can’t pay it with credit cards, only cash. 4. Shopping We don’t have those big sales offering 50 o70% off, but here are lots of promotional prices with some credit cards, and if you pay cash you may get a 10% discount (always ask before paying). Bargaining is only done at handicrafts stalls or street markets and is not as common as in other countries. Please note that sizes in here are an issue, they are never the same in two different stores. So please try everything on before buying! Shopping centers/ malls: CLADEA 2014 – Buenos Aires Useful information about Buenos Aires - Galerías Pacífico (Downtown). Florida y Córdoba - Patio Bullrich (Downtown). Posadas y Libertad (These two are very near the hotel. In Patio Bullrich there is a Money Exchange Office located in the basement) - Alto Palermo (Palermo). - Paseo Alcorta (Palermo). - Abasto Shopping Center (Balvanera). Outlets: The are two areas in the city where you can find new items and also items from previous collections, which have sale prices! It’s not downtown but it’s worth going to do some shopping. - Córdoba Av., from Lavalleja Street. to Godoy Cruz Street. (Palermo) - Aguirre Street. and Gurruchaga Street. http://outlets-de-marcas-en-calle- aguirre.blogspot.com.ar/ Leather goods: If you are looking for leather goods you should go to Murillo Street (between Scalabrini Ortiz Street.and Gurruchaga Street, i.e. Murillo 600) and some other streets nearby: Acevedo and Malabia).- Most of the stores are manufacturers and prices are up to 50% off. Going around safely As in any big city, you should be careful with your personal belongings when walking along the streets or sitting at a bar table in the street: be sure to have your backpack/bag in sight, put your cameras away when you are not using them, and try not to buy anything from people in the street. 5. Going out at night A good thing to know about going out is that in Buenos Aires everything starts late at night. If you go out to have dinner it won’t be before 8 pm, and if a local person invites you it will probably be around 9-9.30 pm. After dinner, there is a tradition (called “sobremesa”)by which we stay having a coffee and chatting from half an hour to endlessly…So any dinner may finish after midnight. If you would like to go dancing, you will still have to wait a couple of hours! 6. What to visit Downtown : Historical sites: Mayo Square, the Cabildo (old Spanish government building), the Metropolitan Cathedral (where Pope Francis celebrated Mass for over 20 years), the Government House (also known as Pink House, seat of the National Government), the Government Palace of the City, banks y ministries. The May Pyramid stands in the middle of the square, it was built in 1910 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Revolution.

La Boca is famously the place to find two attractions which most, if not all, visitors to Buenos Aires will want to see: the football stadium ‘La Bombonera,’ and Caminito, the colorful artists’ street by the water. Going north you will find San Telmo, the oldest neighbourhood in the city, with is cobblestone streets. Nearby is Puerto Madero, the youngest neighbourhood in town.

    investigation immortal beloved The Argentine football club Boca Juniors is a dynasty that will never die, thanks in large part to their rabid fans. Each time a goal is scored in their home stadium, La Bombonera, thousands of screaming fans toss the remains of dead friends and relatives onto the field as a sign of loyalty and support. JONATHAN FRANKLIN attends a few matches and visits the Boca Juniors cemetery in Buenos Aires, and attempts to understand the profound dedication of football's most passionate fans Photographs by Morten Anderson 114 AUGUST 2007 ROGUE MAGAZINE ROGUE MAGAZINE AUGUST 2007 115 investigation OFF THE WALL The wild Boca Juniors fans are some of the most passionate in the world. When Boca Juniors, the Argentine football club, scores a goal inside their home stadium, La Bombonera, thousands of fans toss yellow and blue confetti, dozens launch firework rockets, and a few throw plastic bags onto the pitch—inside these bags are human ashes, pulverized bones, and the remains of dead fans. "It is the dying wish of every Boca fan to be left to rest here," says game. Seeing them asleep outside the stadium, you are reminded of Rafael Garcia, a 19-year-old fan, as he points around La Bombonera, religious pilgrims: devout and unstoppable. Boca's famed home stadium which sits in a poor harbor Brazilian striker Romario said that he never felt so scared going neighborhood in the center of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Friday, May 17 May Friday, On Cover (l-r) – Kenny Gilliard, Ashleigh Huffman, Daniel Faulkenberry and Juliane Bullard stand in Plaza Francia with the National Museum of Fine Arts behind them.

EL ATENEO GRAN SPLENDID Day 2 – Exploring the City of Books Day 2 – La Biela and El Ateneo This coffee shop across the green from Saturday, May 18 May Saturday, Recoleta Cemetery is one of the most famous in the city, frequented by celebrities, past and present.

La Biela – The “Tie Rod” This is a great spot for breakfast or just hanging out for a coffee. You can even sit and have your picture taken with authors Jorge Luis Borges and Bioy Casares. Note the cutout on the chair – it’s a tie rod, a reference to the café’s early days.

  • Destination Report
    Miami , Flori daBuenos Aires, Argentina Overview Introduction Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a wonderful combination of sleek skyscrapers and past grandeur, a collision of the ultrachic and tumbledown. Still, there has always been an undercurrent of melancholy in B.A. (as it is affectionately known by expats who call Buenos Aires home), which may help explain residents' devotion to that bittersweet expression of popular culture in Argentina, the tango. Still performed—albeit much less frequently now—in the streets and cafes, the tango has a romantic and nostalgic nature that is emblematic of Buenos Aires itself. Travel to Buenos Aires is popular, especially with stops in the neighborhoods of San Telmo, Palermo— and each of its colorful smaller divisions—and the array of plazas that help make up Buenos Aires tours. Highlights Sights—Inspect the art-nouveau and art-deco architecture along Avenida de Mayo; see the "glorious dead" in the Cementerio de la Recoleta and the gorgeously chic at bars and cafes in the same neighborhood; shop for antiques and see the tango dancers at Plaza Dorrego and the San Telmo Street Fair on Sunday; tour the old port district of La Boca and the colorful houses along its Caminito street; cheer at a soccer match between hometown rivals Boca Juniors and River Plate (for the very adventurous only). Museums—Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA: Coleccion Costantini); Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes; Museo Municipal de Arte Hispano-Americano Isaac Fernandez Blanco; Museo Historico Nacional; Museo de la Pasion Boquense (Boca football); one of two tango museums: Museo Casa Carlos Gardel or Museo Mundial del Tango.
