Consejos para la ciudad
Facilidad para moverse por la casa
Public transportation is the cheapest way to move around
The bus system in the city connects it pretty well and it's fairly easy to use, with stops in every corner in make easy to travel around the city, Google Maps it's the perfect companion to help you navigate all the alternatives to help you get to your destination.
The metro system even tho doesn't have great bridge points between different lines it's pretty fast and not congested as well as cheap.
Uber, Didi, Beat, Cabify are great apps to use and move around the city (remember to always pay in cash to take advantage of the blue rate dollar) .
Qué debes empacar
Weather change quite fast
In the summer you most likely won't need much than a short and flip-flop but during the winter months the weather change quite fast and one moment it could be cold and 10 min later it could be really warm.
Formas de ahorrar
Use Western Union to exchange local currency
Bring some cash with you and use "DollarPalermo" services (you will find them on Instagram) if u need some "pesos" at the current blue market rate.
However I would try to keep that cash for "just in case" occasions and instead use Western Union to exchange money.
Some places they will just accept dollars, like the taxi company at the airport.
