Language and religion The official language is Spanish which contains subtle differences from Spanish spoken in other parts of the world (the use of "vos" for "you" singular, some sounds and words, and lots of expressions). Safety Buenos Aires is a relatively safe city, but it is a very big city. Tourists are advised to be sensible, not to leave a purse on the table unattended and go to the bathroom, walk in well lit streets at night, etc. Gay Life Over the last five years the city has become well known for its liberal attitude to gay life so that it has become the destination of choice for gay tourists to South America. Buenos Aires now has many gay discos, bars, hotels, saunas, movie theaters, and possibly the best-looking men you will see anywhere. Argentina is now recovering strongly from the economic crisis and devaluation of 2002 and prices of just about everything are, compared to the northern hemisphere, at bargain level. Consequently in BuenosAires there has been an increase, along with the increase in LGBT tourism, in gay-friendly businesses such as real estate, apartment rental, travel agents, language classes, tango classes, bars, restaurants, hotels and guesthouses. As well as here you can find many of these advertised in the gay maps and magazines. In February 2005 Buenos Aires was host to a conference by the International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association IGLTA. In September 2007 the International Gay & Lesbian Football Association will hold the Football (soccer) World Championship in Buenos Aires, Argentina. |
