Buenos Aires is Argentina's elegant, energetic capital, often called the Paris of South America for its grand boulevards and European-style architecture. It is the birthplace of tango, famous for its passionate café culture, late dinners, and a love of grilled beef. With each neighbourhood dancing to its own rhythm, there's always another barrio calling your name!

When to go

Seasons are reversed from Canada, so the Argentine summer runs December through February and can be hot and humid. The most comfortable times to visit are spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May), when temperatures are mild. Winter (June to August) is cool but rarely freezing, and crowds are thinner.

Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal

Reaching Buenos Aires from eastern Canada almost always involves at least one connection, typically through Toronto, Montreal, or a US hub, and sometimes a second stop. The long legs to South America are frequently overnight flights, so plan for a full travel day given the distance. Depending on your departure city, allow plenty of time between connections.

What to see and do

  • Strolling the colourful streets of La Boca and Caminito
  • Watching a live tango show in San Telmo
  • Visiting the ornate Recoleta Cemetery
  • Sampling Argentine steak and Malbec at a local parrilla
  • The Sunday antiques fair in San Telmo

Good to know before you go

The local currency is the Argentine peso, and carrying some cash is wise as exchange rates and card acceptance can vary. The city is walkable, and getting around is easy on the cheap, extensive Subte metro and city buses, with ride apps like Cabify and DiDi handy for longer or late-night trips; driving yourself isn't worth the heavy traffic. Spanish is the main language and locals appreciate a few words of it, while tipping around ten percent is customary in restaurants.
