My second and last day (of my 1st time) in Bs As ;)
Although I went to bed late, or early from the next day, I asked for a wake up call at 7:30am in order to go to the gym.
This was our last day in
By 9am I was ready to start on walking around the city and get my magnet for my fridge. But my boss wanted to do a couple of phone calls.
I would have stayed longer, but I was worried about my boss and also my batteries were dead. So, against my principles I took a cab back to the hotel. I should say that the cabs aren’t expensive and are safe.
I met my boss and let him know, that I didn’t want to leave the city without visiting the city’s oldest historical monuments, which are located in Monserrat. I wanted to go shopping, but you can do it wherever and whenever. We took a cab to “Plaza de Mayo”. There we saw the Government House ��" called “Casa Rosada” (Pink House), Metropolitan Cathedral, City Hall, San Ignacio Church and also a protest.
It was almost noon and we had to be at the airport at 2pm, so we just went back to the hotel in order to do the check out and drive to the airport. We arrived to the airport with plenty of time.
It’s a shame I didn’t have time to know the city correctly. I must come back, that’s for sure. And it would be during this year. It’s a promise. ;-)

After passing the passport’s control, you have to pass another control for the baggage. But you don’t have to open your bag.
When you are leaving, the check in is pretty easy. You have to pay taxes, but the funny thing is that you have to pay them separately. I mean. Before checking in you have to pay US$13 and after being checked in, you pay US$18.- Why don’t they charge everything at once????
Be ready and have your US$31 when you are leaving the country ;)
If you want to eat something, I’d recommend doing it before going through customs. After security in the international area, there are almost no places to eat. Besides the traditional duty free shops, you’d find one selling meat!!!! that's amazing!!!
Customs and security aren’t too bad. Just do the line, show your documents and put your carry on in the X-Ray machine. It’s not like in the States where you have to take off your shoes (I hate this) and take your laptop out of the case.
By the way, the airport is not so close to the city. The drive might take you around 45min.
