Probably not! Most countries don’t require a visa to travel to Argentina for tourism. If you just want to make sure, please check the link below: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/visa-requirements-for-argentina
Individual neighborhoods are best explored by foot. However, distances can be large so taxis or public transportation may be required. The city's black and yellow taxis are quite cheap. We recommend getting “radio taxis,” which are usually safer. The Uber and Cabify apps also work very well in Buenos Aires. The city also has a free bike sharing program. There is also an extensive bus network. For both the bus and subway, you will need a transportation card called SUBE.
Since Argentina has a dual exchange rate system, anything paid in cash will cost you approximately half as much as payments with a foreign credit card. We recommend travelling to Argentina with USD 100 bills (you may get a worse exchange rate on smaller denominated bills). To exchange dollars at the parallel street rate, you will need to do so with unofficial sources known as ‘cuevas’ or ‘arbolitos’. Contact us closer to your arrival date for further information. Western Union also offers a good exchange rate and accepts credit card deposits. The official unit of currency is the Argentinian Peso (ARS). Given the current financial situation in Argentina there are alternative exchange rates in addition to the official currency rate. We suggest for you to bring USD Cash. By using USD cash you save up to 100% vs. paying with your foreign credit card. Additionally, 100 USD bills are converted at a better rate than smaller figure bills. (Note: old USD bills are not accepted by most exchange rates or commerces).
December is the start of summer in Argentina, so expect temperatures in the mid to high 20s. Warm days can be humid. Although December is not particularly rainy, thundershowers are common, so pack an umbrella and a rain coat just in case. If you plan on visiting other regions, note that temperatures can vary greatly. While the North could get very warm, you may encounter low temperatures in Patagonia - particularly at night time.
Lunchtime is usually between 1pm and 3pm. However, dinner starts much later. You will often find restaurants empty before 8:30PM, and full past midnight. If you'd like to go out, clubs usually open at 2AM.
