Residents of Buenos Aires are characterized by temperamental and fiery temper. However, they are also distinguished by politeness and courtesy, which is manifested in everything. At a meeting with close friends and relatives, local residents often exchange kisses to a cheek, and just friends greet each other by traditional European handshaking. Football and politics remain the main topics for conversations for many years. This is one of few cities, where visitors and citizens can calmly discuss the political situation in the country. “Empty rhetoric’ is another characteristic feature of local residents. People here are quite responsible and reliable when it comes to work and other close issues, but in ordinary life they are quite unreliable.

Offending local people is not complicated, but they do not know how to keep offence for a long time, and calm down and forget about problems quite quickly. Most often you can resolve any dispute within just a couple of minutes, but you should not show excessive persistence in communicating. The locals have very late breakfasts, so they have their dinner only after 21.00. This is the reason why there are so many restaurants and bars that are opened only in the evening and at night. The majority of the city’s residents speak exclusively in Spanish, so it is not necessary to study Argentine before your trip to Buenos Aires.
