in Buenos Aires
A city that dances until dawn, grills the world's best steak, and treats every stranger like a long-lost friend.
Travel better in Buenos Aires with the right person
Split costs
A solo traveller in Buenos Aires spends about ~$35–70 USD a day. Accommodation, transport, guided tours and day trips all cost less split two ways.
Stay safer
A travel companion means someone knows your plans, can help navigate emergencies, and makes you less of a target in unfamiliar areas of Buenos Aires.
Go deeper
The best experiences in Buenos Aires (the off-menu restaurant, the dawn hike, the local's favourite spot) are found with a curious companion, not a guidebook.

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Steak Culture
Argentine beef is grass-fed and extraordinary. Order bife de chorizo (sirloin), bife de lomo (tenderloin), or entraña (skirt steak). "A punto" is medium. Never ask for ketchup. Chimichurri is the only acceptable condiment.
Mate Ritual
Mate (yerba mate tea) is Argentina's national drink, shared from a gourd with a metal straw. If offered mate, accept. It is a sign of friendship. Never stir the bombilla (straw) or say "gracias" until you want to stop drinking.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Buenos Aires travel guide.
