Talk
In Tucuman people speak Spanish but speak with a different accent, similar to all Argentinean (Mix of Italian accent, Spanish accent, Creoles "Gaucho" accent, among others) provinces but own contributions and own words, a person who does not Speak Spanish of birth does not understand very well unless you speak their language or Spanish neutral.
Get in
As in most of Argentina, travel to and from Tucuman is almost entirely by bus. Although there is an airport, the only airline who services it, Aerolineas Argentinas, charges foreigners almost twice as much for the same flight.
Get around
Taxi's are fairly cheap and a good bet for foreigners who don't know the public transportation's routes or scheduals. That said, the city busses are fairly simple, and as there are not very many of them, fairly easy to use.

The main tourist section is right around the central plaza. Government buildings, old houses and churches abound. Two blocks south on Congreso Street lies the '''Casa Historica''' (historic house) where the Argentine constitution was signed. Inside, a small museum has artifacts from the colonial and revolutionary periods.
