Buenos Aires pairs the Recoleta Cemetery's marble mausoleums with San Telmo's Sunday tango on Plaza Dorrego, the colourful Caminito of La Boca, and Puerto Madero's converted brick docks along the Río de la Plata.

When to Visit

Spring blooms across Palermo's jacarandas in November, Buenos Aires Tango Festival mid-August, and the city pleasant before summer humidity arrives in earnest.

Hits 30°C with humidity, porteños decamp to Punta del Este or Mar del Plata, but Lollapalooza Argentina in mid-March aside, summer culture continues at quieter pace.
Mar-May
Autumn jacarandas turning, asado season in full swing, and Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema (BAFICI) in mid-April.
Jun-Aug
Cool damp winter with Teatro Colón opera season at peak, milongas (tango halls) at their most local without tourist crowds, and the city's leather-bar culture indoors.
