Buenos Aires is one of the biggest cities in Argentina and is the capital. Many Americans flock to Buenos Aires during the winter to take advantage of the moderate Latin American temperatures.

While visiting Buenos Aires, you will want to check out the Plaza de Mayo, the city center, with its iconic presidential palace, called the Casa Rosada. This landmark became famous when it was recreated in the musical Evita, based on Eva Peron’s life and death.

Museums

Museums and other cultural attractions in Buenos Aires are not your typical touristy places. Most were built with the heart of the Argentine people in mind, and you can see the vibrancy of these people throughout the entire city. Citizens and visitors converge on these places creating a diverse climate of learning and acceptance. 

• Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes: Located in the Recoleta neighborhood, this museum is home to Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Goya, Monet, and Rodin. Local artists are also featured in this art museum. (Bag-check policy: large bags including backpacks, suitcases, and briefcases are to be stored in the wardrobe or lockers and should not exceed 40” x 40” x 20”.)

• Museo Casa Rosada: This national history museum is just to the right of the Casa Rosada and is home to artwork and artifacts of Argentina. Murals from David Alfara Siqueiros, a Mexican political muralist, have been restored and displayed on the lower level of the museum. When you leave the museum, have a closer look at the iconic balcony of the Casa Rosada.

• Gaucho Day Trip - Don Silvano Ranch: Head out of the city and spend the day with gauchos, or Argentine cowboys, on their ranch. Watch demonstrations on horse wrangling and listen to traditional cowboy folklore. Hop on a tractor for an exciting ride or relax into a carriage as you are whisked across the open terrain. Enjoy a hearty lunch and visit with other visitors and ranch hands.

Safety

Buenos Aires, Argentina is an interesting place. Technically, it’s not a part of the Buenos Aires Province – even though said province shares a name with the “City of Fair Winds.” Instead, Buenos Aires is a unique district that essentially governs itself. It’s also one of the largest cities in Argentina as well as Argentina’s state capital. As of 2010, Buenos Aires reported a population size of 2.89 million people. It’s a well-known fact that Buenos Aires is also one of the most popular tourist destinations on the planet. Just imagine how busy the City of Fair Winds gets during the Summer!

Unfortunately, Buenos Aires’ massive population also has a larger than average crime rate. All across the board, crime rates in Buenos Aires are fairly high. Robberies are some of the most frequently reported crimes in the city. Moreover, banks, ATMs, bus stops, and train stations are frequently targeted. Criminals also tend to target lone individuals, night-time commuters, and tourists – especially tourists who appear visibly lost. As alarming as these crime stats may be, Buenos Aires is still an amazing place with just as many honest citizens as any other city. You can still have a great time in Buenos Aires, but you really will need to practice safe, smart habits at all times. Contact local authorities if you sense that danger is imminent. If you have children, keep your eyes on them at all times. If you plan on touring the city, use Bounce to protect your luggage.
