Buenos Aires – A Cosmopolitan City of Stunning Architecture & Unforgettable Attractions
Founded in 1580, Buenos Aires is Argentina’s dynamic capital, known for its European-inspired architecture, world-class museums, and lively markets like the iconic San Telmo Sunday Market. Don’t miss Recoleta Cemetery, the famous resting place of Eva Perón.
As night falls, the city comes alive with a thriving gastronomic scene, from traditional Argentine steakhouses to world-class dining in Puerto Madero. Just remember—locals eat late, and restaurants don’t get busy until after 9 pm!

Best Time To Go
Summer (November – February) brings warm temperatures, often reaching 30°C, perfect for enjoying the city’s vibrant outdoor cafés and parks. However, for sightseeing and exploring, we recommend spring (September – November) or autumn (February – April) when the weather is milder and more comfortable. That said, Buenos Aires is a year-round destination, offering something special in every season.
