How to make friends in Buenos Aires as a newcomer or visitor
Buenos Aires socialises late and long — dinners at 22:00, conversations until dawn. If you like talking, you will fit in.
Top 3 things to do — and how to turn them into plans
- 1
Coffee in a historic café
San Telmo and Palermo's old cafés are built for long talks. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.
- 2
Sunday feria in San Telmo
Antiques, tango in the street and crowds to wander with. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.

Beginner tango class
A milonga class is the city's most famous way to meet people. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.
Sidecar is for locals meeting locals, travellers meeting locals, and fellow travellers meeting each other. Friends only.
Coffee and mate culture
A long coffee in a historic café in San Telmo or Palermo is the classic porteño meetup. Nobody rushes you out.
Use the parillas and milongas
A group asado, a pizza at a classic pizzería or a beginner tango class are all natural shared plans.
Follow your interests
Bookstores, football, live music and the ferias (street markets) give every interest a home.
