Do you want to take the commuter train or the tourist train (tren de la costa)? Belgrano C is the commuter train. To get the tourist train to Tigre from Belgrano, take the Belgrano R train to Mitre (the terminus) and walk over the street to buy your ticket. If you leave early or have a bit more...

I have used TripAdvisor.com so often in the past five months that I have begun reviewing BsAs restaurants on it as well. It has been a great resource for me for restaurants, hotels outside BsAs, and other information for travelers.

We are new to BA from Ohio. Schools are closed tomorrow for a national holiday, but I cannot find anything else about the holiday. E.g., are stores, zoo, or restaurants open? Is there a parade or anything culturally interesting happening tomorrow?
