Has anyone here successfully relocated/moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina?

Question

I'm interested in packing up and moving to Buenos Aires from the US, at least for a few months to a year or so. Is there anyone here who has done it who would have some tips and hints? Like where/how to get cheap plane tickets, best time of year to travel there, good parts of town to live in, etc. Tell me your story.

Thanks for the help :)

Answer 5

Well, if you're in the states normally the ticket cost betwen $ 800 to $ 1200 deppending of the company and the  advance you are buying your ticket and the company. American Airlines normally has very good prices to BA.

Where to live, well that pretty important because there is very nice places and others awful and dangerous. The best neighbourhoods are Recoleta,Palermo chico, something in Barrio Norte or Belgrano.There is many companies that offers equiped appartaments to foreign people that are awful in the worst areas for a lot of money.

Maybe you think that it's not expensive,but you're paying a lot more than the real value.

About the time for going, it's the same. January it's full summer and everybody it's in holidays,then BA is empty.

Anyway if you go to Argentina in summer, try to go to Punta del Este (Uruguay) 30 minutes by plane that is beautiful.

If you're going, post it again and i'll see if i can help you with more details.
