Argentina is a popular destination, but it's important to note on any vacation that there can be cultural, geological and meteorological differences when traveling abroad that could potentially ruin your entire trip. You never know when you might do something that you thought was fine, but for them it's offensive. Here are 7 great Argentina travel tips. Follow these tips and you'll be sure to leave an impression of courtesy and enjoy more hospitality from the locals.
The most common form of greeting in Argentina between friends is kissing one another's cheeks, so don't be caught off guard when someone makes a lunge toward your cheek. Return the favour if someone does it to you.
Once in Argentina, one of main methods of transportation is underground shuttle, or by bus/trolley bus, or taxi. There are actually 5 main public rail lines, and they operate from early morning to late at night, and take note that they have fixed fares. Buses are generally very crowded but are often the quickest means from one place to another.
The official language is Spanish, so you should at least know some basic Spanish, even if English is widely spoken.
More then 90 per cent of Argentina's religious faith lies in the Roman Catholic church. This does dictate what things are fine and which aren't.
There are 5 major airlines in Argentina. You should know that sometimes it would be cheaper and faster to hop on a flight than to ride a bus or taxi to go to other places in Argentina.
The Argentina Tourist Information Center is the place to go if you want to know more about Argentina tourism.
The official currency is the peso, and bills come in 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pesos. One peso would be one hundred cents. 2 pesos are blue, 5 pesos are green, 10 pesos are brown, 20 pesos are red, 50 pesos are grey, and 100 pesos are purple/violet.
Tips aren't allowed in Argentina, but some people still expect them, and if you do give a tip, 10% of the bill would be enough.
Take note of the time zone (Argentina Standard time), which is GMT-3 hours, and GMT-4 hours in the summer. Be sure to set your watches properly.
The best tip is to plan ahead of time, be practical, and have fun!
