Has anyone been to Argentina recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- New venues worth checking out
I was there last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.
