About Buenos Aires

Located on the shore of the Rio de la Plata, Buenos Aires is a vibrant cosmopolitan capital celebrated as the birthplace of tango and famous for its intense football culture. Visitors can discover distinct characters across its 48 different neighbourhoods, from the cobbled streets of historic San Telmo to the elegant architecture of Recoleta and hip boutiques of Palermo. Recognized as a major cultural destination, the city boasts 160 museums and nearly 380 bookstores, including the majestic Teatro Colón opera house. Its legendary nightlife stretches late into the morning, featuring traditional historic cafes alongside world-renowned steak and Malbec dining. Travelers can also unwind in vast green areas like the 350-hectare Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve and Tres de Febrero park.

When to go

Buenos Aires is at its best in spring or autumn for food, tango and long evenings.

The shoulder seasons of October to November and March to May offer pleasant weather with mild temperatures and blooming purple jacaranda trees. Budget-conscious travellers often prefer the winter low season from June to August to take advantage of lower hotel rates, with average temperatures ranging between 7°C and 16°C. Cultural highlights occur year-round, including Carnaval in February, BAFICI film festival in April, and the Exposición Rural held in the upscale district of Palermo during July. In August, the city welcomes visitors for the World Cup tango competitions, live orchestras, classes, and late-night milongas.
