#StayAtHome

All the tips to live and get to know Buenos Aires from the comfort of your home.

At Study Buenos Aires, we consider it vital to take all the necessary precautions to stop the advance of the Coronavirus. It is essential to avoid going out into the street unless it is strictly necessary.

As part of the campaign #StayAtHome, we have decided to compile a series of useful links, not only so that you can access information about Coronavirus, but we also included audio-visual content, digital books, virtual museums, culture and online courses; with the aim of making sure that staying at home is not boring and unproductive.
