Continuing on from last week’s blog on what to do in Buenos Aires for New Year’s Eve and Christmas, here are some tips on surviving and enjoying the festivities in Buenos Aires. • As Christmas is a family celebration in Buenos Aires, the Porteños who stay in the city have dinner with their closest family and friends. Therefore, many restaurants close during Christmas’ Eve, the few that are open, only accept reservations in advance with special Christmas set menus.
• Restaurants, bars and other travel services will either be closed or will charge you double the normal price. Therefore, make sure you have all your plans sorted before you get to Buenos Aires. Check the local Restaurants Guide, GuiaOleo to find out where to go or take advantage of the great tango show packages for Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
• Being prepared includes …transportation. Taxis are scarce between 8pm and 2am on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve so, make sure you book your taxi or any private transfer the day before. Ask for help from your hotel’s concierge, your travel agency or, if you speak some Spanish, call one of the city’s Radio taxi services such as, Taxi Alo (Tel: 4857 1111).
• After spending Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve with their families, the youngsters go to the night clubs or boliches which will be open later than usual. A nice option for expats and travellers is to join the Christmas and New Year’s party put on by the Buenos Aires Pub Crawl where you can party the night away!

• Swap your thick Santa Claus outfit and beard for shorts, t-shirt and flip-flops...temperatures last year passed the 95F mark. If you plan to go out on Christmas or New Year’s night, it is recommended to leave your fashion conscious mind behind and wear comfortable shoes as you’ll probably have to walk long distances to find transportation.
• Fireworks are everywhere! In Argentina it is still legal that anyone can set off fireworks, so you can either try setting your own off or, find the best spot in your neighbourhood to see the amazing fireworks party at midnight... just make sure you watch your head!
• Get ready to eat a lot of Panetón, sweet bread with raisins and other dried fruits, and to drink bottles of sidra (cider) or, make sure you buy one for your Porteño friends.
• Another tradition for New Year’s in Argentina is wearing pink pants to bring you good luck for the coming year, so hurry up and get yours or give a funny/sexy present to your friends or couple.
• It is very common to go on a day tour the day after the parties on the 25th or the 1st. Keep the party going whilst enjoying the sunshine elsewhere on Christmas Day or New Year’s Day by taking a day trip to an estancia or spend the day in Tigre.
