Question

Rio de Janiro or buenos aires where is better to live?

Answer 1

I lived in both and both are great but very different.  If you are going for career, I´d say Buenos Aires.  If you are going for a good lifestyle, I´d say Rio.  Both were incredibly cheap 5 years ago and getting quite expensive nowadays.  Brazil is far more expensive than 1999 to 2001 and Buenos Aires is about the same as it was pre-devaluation ( in spite of some travel guides saying the exchange rate is 3:1, prices are great - inflation has pretty much nullified that).

Answer 2

It you speak Brazilian Portuguese, then live in Rio de Janeiro.  If you speak Spanish, go to Buenos Aires.  

You can't compare these two locations.  Both have good and bad things.  For instance, if you don't speak Spanish, you will have a hard time living in Rio.

I prefer to live both places.

Answer 3

Buenos Aires is the better of the two, Rio is very dangerous.
