About this tip
Navigating public transportation in Buenos Aires is very efficient once you know the basics, but it can be confusing for first-timers. To use buses (colectivos) and the subway (Subte), you must have a SUBE card—cash is never accepted on transit. Getting one can sometimes be tricky at official spots, so buying it at local kiosks (kioscos) or main subway stations in advance is key.
My Tip: For getting around quickly and safely, ride-hailing apps like Uber and Cabify are the absolute best choice—and remarkably, rates in Argentina are among the most affordable in the world. Navigating the city is much smoother and safer when accompanied by a local who knows the best routes, avoids peak-hour bottlenecks, and ensures you travel stress-free. If you want a reliable local host to explore the city with total peace of mind, reach out to me!
