As a Swedish citizen, you do not need a visa for a regular tourist trip to Buenos Aires if the stay is less than 90 days. However, your passport must be valid for the entire visit. Upon arrival, you get a stamp in your passport that acts as your permit. It is always wise to have a printed copy of your return ticket or onward journey, as airlines or border control sometimes ask to see this as proof that you plan to leave the country within the allowed time period.

Buenos Aires has an extensive public transport network. The most efficient way to travel is by subway, known as Subte, or local buses, Colectivos. To use these, you need a SUBE card which you can buy and top up at most kiosks. Taxis are also very affordable compared to Sweden; use official Radio Taxi cars for maximum safety. For longer distances within the city, apps like Uber and Cabify also work excellently and often provide a fixed price in advance.

The city is generally safe for tourists, but as in all major cities, one should be vigilant. A common trick is the mustard scam, where someone spills something on you and an accomplice offers to help while they empty your pockets. Keep your valuables close to your body and avoid showing expensive jewelry or cameras in crowded areas like San Telmo on Sundays. Use ATMs located inside bank premises during the daytime to avoid skimming and make sure to always keep an eye on your bag at restaurant tables.

To truly experience Buenos Aires like a Porteño, you should avoid the most commercial tango shows in the center. Instead, head to a local Milonga in neighborhoods like Almagro or Villa Crespo. Here, the locals dance for their own pleasure, and the atmosphere is significantly more authentic. Don't forget to have a coffee at one of the city's historical cafes, Bares Notables, and order a Cortado with medialunas. Sharing a mate in a park during the weekend is also the ultimate way to soak up the local culture.
