Lease an apartment. Some private citizens in Buenos Aires regularly rent out their luxury apartments in the city to travelers.

Know your options. Buenos Aires has many types of public transportation available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Having a map of routes and schedules will help you make an informed decision.

Step 2
Try walking. If you're planning to stick to the main part of town, walking is a quick and easy way to get around Buenos Aires. The land is flat and the streets are organized in a grid pattern. If you're able, going on foot may be quicker than taking a cab or a bus during rush hours.

Tango the night away. The tango is the national dance of Argentina, and there are always tango events of some sort going on throughout Buenos Aires. Don't let your visit end without finding an opportunity to experience the tango, either by dancing it yourself or watching a tango show.

Pay your respects. The Cementerio de la Recoleta is not only the cemetery of Buenos Aires's wealthy families, it is the final resting place of Eva Peron, former first lady of Argentina and main character in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical 'Evita.' Eva's tomb is the most visited tomb in the cemetery and a popular destination for tourists.
