Home to ski resorts, national parks and a world-famous wine region, Argentina has a lot to shout about. Stretching from the Tropic of Capricorn towards the edge of Antarctica, its astounding variety of terrains make for discoveries at every turn. Buenos Aires, the birthplace of tango, is a hive of Latin zeal. Its food scene is second to none, with its famous steakhouses serving mouthwatering bife de chorizo (sirloin) and late-night heladerías (ice cream parlours) scooping up dulce de leche helado. Take a wander through the characterful barrios (neighbourhoods) and pop inside a typical tango house. If you’re feeling confident, you can even take a lesson in this seductive style of dance. The wine regions of Mendoza and Salta are also worth exploring, and in the winter you can take to the slopes of the Andes. Argentina’s nature preserves near Puerto Madryn, Punta Tombo, and Peninsula Valdes are home to wild animals such as penguins, sea lions and even whales at some times of the year. Accommodations vary throughout the country, with cabañas (cabins or weekend houses) available to rent in the mountains and coastal areas, and modern boutique hotels in the cities.

Travel Guide

• # 1 in Best Places to Visit in January 2024

This region in the Andes mountains is nothing if not enchanting. Cobalt lakes, azure-tinted glaciers, emerald trees, and turquoise skies stretch as far as the eye can see. In fact, Argentine Patagonia's vistas are so sweeping that Charles Darwin once described the region as "boundless." Visit Argentina's Lake District and you'll discover villages brushing against snowy mountain peaks. Travel east and you'll find whales gliding through Peninsula Valdés ' marine wildlife sanctuary. Venture to Southern Patagonia , and you'll stumble upon deserts extending into rugged estancias (cattle-ranges) and melting glaciers. And, if you continue downward to the Chilean border at Cape Horn, you'll come across an expansive horizon reaching out to Antarctica's frosty edge. Patagonia's beauty knows no bounds.

The best places to stay in Patagonia

By Condé Nast Traveller

Explora El Chaltén

Featured on our 2022 Hot List of the best new hotels in the world  

This excursion-based adventure lodge makes Patagonia both accessible and approachable from a comfortable base in El Chaltén, the youthful resort village at the northern end of Argentina’s Los Glaciares National Park. Explora focuses on getting you away from the hotel more than it does on keeping you around—the members of the expedition team (almost all of whom are female) truly shine, answering questions before you can even think of them and effortlessly switching languages to assist different travelers. They help you not only navigate difficult landscapes but also understand them better. If you’re willing to forgo an outing, however, the simple spa and carnivore-friendly restaurant are good reasons to stick around. Mark Johanson

It's difficult to conceive of a property more suited to the arid, desolate Patagonian steppe than Eolo, a rustic lodge in the windswept La Anita valley, 30km west of El Calafate. Modelled on a classic sheep farm, the lodge has corrugated zinc walls and gabled roofs that protect a central courtyard from the elements. A rustic homeliness pervades the place, with caved woods, refurbished antiques, and leather and cord upholstery. The lodge is close enough to the Perito Moreno Glacier to permit a visit, but a simple hike or bike ride across the 3,000-hectare grounds can be just as compelling. Entranced by the setting, many guests are content to squint for hours at the peaks of Chile's Torres del Paine national park that darken the distant horizon, or to peer through picture windows as icebergs on glacier-fed Lake Argentina float through an otherwise parched landscape.

Eolo: Ruta Provincial 11, km23, El Calafate, Santa Cruz (00 54 2902 492042; www.eolo.com.ar ). Doubles from US$1,180 per person for two nights all-inclusive

El Casco Art Hotel

Bariloche's El Casco Art Hotel quickly re-established a reputation for restrained elegance when it reopened in 2007 after a decade of neglect. New owner Ignacio Gutiérrez Zaldívar, an art collector in Buenos Aires, has opted for quiet refinement, hanging more than 300 works of modern Argentine art in his impeccably sober property. From the 33 ample rooms, guests can watch the upland geese and cormorants on Lake Nahuel Huapí; behind the hotel the view stretches to Mount Otto, a favourite with hikers. Executive chef Fernando Trocca, owner of buzzing Buenos Aires restaurant Sucre, enhances Patagonian staples by pairing turkey with truffle, trout with ginger and duck with blackberries and roast figs. There's a super-heated outdoor pool that billows steam into the chill evening air, and a winter transfer service for skiers to a private lounge at the foot of the Cerro Cathedral slopes.

El Casco Art Hotel: Av Bustillo, km11.5, Bariloche, Río Negro (00 54 2944 4363131; www.hotelelcasco.com ). From US$240 per night

Fifteen-room Las Balsas is set among strands of Antarctic Beech on the north shore of Lake Nahuel Huapí, near the chinked-log chalets and gourmet-food shops of the village of Villa La Angostura. With its own boathouse and jetty on one of the lake's prettiest bays, the lodge is aimed at those who like to mix a spot of strenuous outdoor activity with a lot of pampering. Visitors come to cast for trout in streams and lakes on the Ruta de los Siete Lagos (Seven Lakes Drive), practise their downhill at the 20-piste Cerro Bayo ski resort, or hike from town across a narrow isthmus to Los Arrayanes national park, which protects the world's only forest of cinnamon-barked arrayán trees - the inspiration, it is thought, for the scenery in Walt Disney's Bambi . They return each night to sip Malbec in a candlelit snug, sample the Patagonian trout, venison and lamb prepared by award-winning chef Pablo Campoy, or soothe aching muscles in the well-equipped, stone-built spa next door.

Las Balsas: Bahía Las Balsas, Villa La Angostura, Neuquén (00 54 2944 494308; www.lasbalsas.com ). Doubles from US$420

El Pedral Lodge

Some 175 years ago, Charles Darwin found himself fascinated by the fossilised molluscs encrusted in the striated rock of Patagonia's Atlantic coast. Today, visitors come to watch Magellanic penguins, elephant seals and sea lions. At Península Valdés, a hammer-shaped wedge of scrub-covered steppe that just into the Atlantic Ocean, they come for the killer whales that patrol the azure waters and the Southern Right Whales that breed in its sheltered bays. Set on dun-coloured cliffs, El Pedral Lodge boasts a private stretch of coastline, complete with elephant-seal colony. The main house of the 17,000-hectare former sheep farm, with its ornamented balustrades and ocean-view veranda, was built in 1904. The founding family's mahogany dining table and iron bathtub are still there, along with a spiral staircase that climbs to a cushion-strewn turret with uninterrupted views over a kilometre-wide pebble bar - the pedral - to the Atlantic beyond. The 10 rooms are simple with well-worn wooden floorboards, antique furniture and mustard-coloured rugs. Guests head out on twice-daily forays by sea kayak, mountain bike or horse, hoping for a close encounter with a grey fox, guanaco (a camelid, rather like a llama) or a mara (a Patagonian hare the size of a small dog) while petrels, albatrosses and oystercatchers chequer the sky overhead.

El Pedral Lodge: Punta Ninfas, Chubut (00 54 29 44 476115; www.elpedrallodge.com.ar ). From US$725 per person for two nights, all-inclusive

Valle Perdido Wine Resort

The under-explored northern Patagonian plateau, in the north-west of Neuquén province, is populated by the Mapuche people and forested with occasional, otherworldly stands of monkey-puzzle trees. Former peach orchards, watered by the Río Neuquén, are fast being transformed into the southern-most vineyards in the Americas: set within 230 hectares of these vines is this 18-room hotel, ingeniously embedded in a working winery. Its low-impact exterior of sandstone and concrete blends with the arid, stony soil. Rooms are in muted shades of coffee and sand, decorated with alligator-leather and wood furniture. Guests can fish for trout or spot birdlife as they canoe the river, explore archaeological sites, or even go on volunteer digs for dinosaur fossils. Viticulture is pre-eminent: there are impromptu winery tours for guests; estate-bottled wines accompany venison and wild boar in the restaurant; the spa offers vinotherapy scrubs, along with body wraps of mud, honey and seaweed. Regulars can even make their own wine, and store it in the hotel's cellar until their next visit.

Valle Perdido Wine Resort: Ruta Provincial 7, Picada 6, San Patricio del Chañar, Neuquén (00 54 11 6091 7777; www.valleperdido.com.ar ). Doubles from US$626

18 Best Hotels in Buenos Aires

By Celeste Moure

Our favorite places to check into in the Argentine capital span the city's colorful personality. There's a plethora of best hotels in Buenos Aires that includes an over-the-top Philippe Starck-designed hotel in Puerto Madero, a one-time Palermo home of an icon of cinema, and even a handful of Belle Epoque palaces in posh Recoleta. Not sure where to begin? We've narrowed down your options for you, to the list below; read on to inspire your next trip.

Read our complete Buenos Aires travel guide here.

Every hotel review on this list has been written by a Condé Nast Traveler journalist who knows the destination and has visited that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider properties across price points that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination, keeping design, location, service, and sustainability credentials top of mind. This gallery has been updated since its original publish date.

Fierro Hotel Arrow

With its sleek vibe in black, graphite and red, and modern furnishings that are simple but chic, Fierro is the kind of hotel that you feel instantly comfortable in. On the ground floor, past the restaurant, is a garden with leafy trees and little tables where breakfast is served on sunny mornings. Splurge on a balcony suite, which overlooks the back garden and is more quiet than those that look out to the street. No matter which room you end up in, the large plush bed and blackout curtains will deliver a good night's sleep. The bathrooms are small, but at least the water pressure is good and strong.

Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires Arrow

A Belle Epoque mansion and a 12-story tower make up this hotel. Inside, the decor mixes traditional with contemporary aesthetics—think mahogany and leather furnishings and decor and amenities that play up Argentina's passions for horses, tango and wine. The landscaped gardens are stunning and there's even a heated Roman-style pool. In the tower, rooms are lively and colorful, with lots of orange throw pillows and patterned chairs. The aesthetics lean toward French opulence in the Mansion, complete with gilded mirrors, glass chandeliers, and Toile de Jouy wallpaper.

Esplendor Buenos Aires Arrow

Set in a Neoclassical building close to Galerias Pacifico, Esplendor's white walls, floating staircase, and massive portraits of Argentine icons like Che Guevara, Eva Perón lend the hotel an art gallery vibe. Because it is located close to the pedestrian- and shopping-friendly Calle Florida as well as office towers, the hotel attracts a mixed bag of execs in town for business as well as couples from Brazil and other Latin American countries in town on a shopping spree. All somewhat different, the rooms are decorated in pastel colors and have a mix of contemporary and mid-century modern furniture, such as Bertoia steel-mesh chairs. Some rooms feature separate tub and showers.

Hotel Madero Arrow

Set at the southern end of Puerto Madero, this hotel is all steel, glass and flooded in natural light. The lobby feels like a cool loft hangout, thanks to a pool table that plays center stage, modern art that hangs on the walls, and a mix of modern and funky furnishings in vibrant hues. While Faena nearby attracts a moneyed but artsy crowd, Madero is more suited for those traveling for business, and perhaps families who want to be in a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood away from the bustle of the city. Rooms are spacious and continue the contemporary vibe set forth in the lobby, with dark wood floors and subdued furnishings in creamy colors—except for perhaps a Tulip chair in a vibrant red hue. Opt for a Corner Room, most of which have kitchenettes and balconies with awesome views of the docks.

Jardín Escondido Arrow

The onetime home of Francis Ford Coppola while shooting his film Tetro, this hotel is like a little piece of heaven in buzzy Palermo Soho. Inside are terracotta-tiled patios, lush gardens, an outdoor kitchen with a parrilla, and warm and light-filled rooms, each one named after a different Coppola family member. There are only seven rooms here, and each is decorated with furniture and art selected, presumably, by Coppola himself during his travels in Argentina and elsewhere in Latin America—including indigenous Peruvian tapestries. The service is ultra-discreet: A manager, concierge, and sommelier are on hand, but they’re usually out of sight (cell phone at the ready) unless required.

248 Finisterra Arrow

Las Cañitas is filled with trendy little restaurants and neighborhood bars. This 11-room hotel is set in a pretty building painted creamy white. Inside it feels like your favorite aunt's carefully decorated home. There's a lounge where antique looking sofas and chairs surround a fireplace. Past the small breakfast room are glass doors that lead to a vine-covered, quiet garden. A rooftop deck has a small hot tub and lounge chairs.

Alvear Palace Hotel Arrow

When people say that Buenos Aires is the Paris of South America, surely the hotel that comes to mind is the Alvear. Old-school luxury takes on new meaning since the refurbishing and renovations that took place in 2016. New to the hotel are modern suites in the top two floors, and on the rooftop, a generous spa, a pool and a bar with jaw-dropping views of the neighborhood. The breakfast buffet is perhaps the best in the city. And Afternoon Tea at L'Orangerie is everything you might imagine high tea to be: white-gloved service, delicate dishes and trays filled with scones, and perfect little sandwiches, tantalizing pastries, and tea served in gilded cups.

Hotel Pulitzer Buenos Aires Arrow

Set in Microcentro and not too far from Borges Cultural Center and the Naval Center, this hotel plays with a nautical theme and keeps things simple with a blue, white and tan palette. Hardwood floors, round mirrors on the walls, and well placed furnishings in leather and suede lend the lounge a welcoming vibe. Step out onto the eighth-floor rooftop for a dip in the pool or a siesta in a comfy lounger. It's an affordable and comfortable option if you are traveling solo and don't need tons of space.

Palacio Duhau - Park Hyatt Buenos Aires Arrow

Before Buenos Aires surrendered to the motor car—and every Argentine male modeled his ego on that of Formula One legend Juan Manuel Fangio—Avenida Alvear was one of the city’s main thoroughfares, with horse-drawn carriages and trams rolling by en route to Palermo’s gardens and shaded parks. Something of this Belle Epoque spirit still endures and nowhere more so than at the Palacio Duhau, completed in 1934 as the city mansion of a landed family. Its grand neoclassical façade is right on the avenue, and the lobby is a stately, serene space where light pours in from the terrace onto the fluted marble columns, intricately carved wooden doors and low-slung white leather sofas. The tiered gardens on the terrace are worthy of a scene in The Great Gatsby . Rooms range from spacious and functional to sumptuous and palatial; the boudoir suite has butler service, an enormous marble bathroom and, perhaps more impressive, two private terraces overlooking the avenue below. The Duhau restaurant and public spaces channel the property’s storied glamour, with local couples having lunch and out-of-towners sipping rum-laced Arnaud’s milk-punch cocktails. The surrounding barrio of Recoleta is known for its old-world architecture, and this hotel, modeled on the Château du Marais near Paris, is the maximum expression of Argentine Francophilia. Its only rival on this stately strip is the Alvear Palace—but where the latter flaunts its ostentation, the Hyatt’s grandest South American hotel rather keeps itself to itself.

Faena Hotel Buenos Aires Arrow

The neighborhood is Puerto Madero, right on the waterfront. From outside, the red brick building that Faena occupies does nothing to hint at the over-the-top decor of what lies inside. The place is designed by Philippe Starck—need we say more? It's dark and dramatic, with red velvet curtains, deep carpets, rose-tinted glass, firetruck red leather sofas. Lots of red and black everywhere with a touch of the ridiculous. Thankfully, Starck showed a bit of restraint when designing the rooms. Instead of dark and moody, rooms are a study in moderation, Faena-style. Faena is pricey, but if you want to be right in Puerto Madero and are a fan of Starck's brand of design, this hotel is for you.

Hub Porteño Arrow

You don't just book a room at this hotel: it's an entire experience that includes a concierge team that will book your dinner reservations, score you tickets to the polo match or opera at Teatro Colon, and point you in the right direction of the coolest bar for a craft cocktail. From the outside, it looks like any other apartment building in ritzy Recoleta. But step inside and you're greeted by the friendly staff who show you around the place like it's their very own apartment. The decor is Art Deco meets boho chic and every piece of furniture is positioned just so. In the afternoon, guests gather in the terrace for tea service. Each of the 11 rooms is entirely unique and decorated with vintage furniture, wool textiles, cowhide rugs, and beds with leather headboards. A color scheme of creamy whites and chocolate browns is dreamy.

Home Hotel Arrow

Aimed at the partying crowd increasingly drawn to after-hours Buenos Aires, Home became the first hotel in fashionable Palermo Hollywood when it opened in December 2005. Brainchild of London music producer Tom Rixton, the 17-bed property sits among a welter of ultra-cool bars and fusion eateries that never seem to close. What's not to rave about in this hotel? They crush the decor, the attention to detail, the service. The WiFi is free and consistent. Breakfast in the garden is delicious and features homemade jams, the way abuela makes them. Whoever chooses the music knows what they're doing. If there was any way to unglue the wallpaper from the wall, roll it nicely and take it back home with me, I would. No one would fault you if the little soaps branded with the Home logo found their way into your toiletry bag.

Algodon Mansion Arrow

This hotel impresses before you set foot inside. There's the gorgeous Belle Epoque architecture, for one. Once within the six-story mansion, the decor is unfussy and sophisticated. In the lobby is a dramatic glass-encased waterfall that cascades down several floors. Furnishings in supple leathers, exquisite woods, and delicate silks are by Cappellini and B&B Italia. Suites (there are only suites) at Algodon are as spacious as some New York City apartments. Silks, suede, ebony, leather, parquet floors, Nespresso machines, Netflix on the flatscreen TVs. You'll want for nothing at this hotel. The bathrooms are decked out in French limestone and Calacatta marble, and roomy.

Palo Santo Hotel Arrow

Walking down a mellow street in Palermo Hollywood, you might not notice that a boutique hotel lies just beyond the wooden gate. Look up and you’ll see a five-story building, built to LEED standards, with a glass-and-iron façade that supports a 90-foot vertical garden. For access, guests—tattooed, Adidas-wearing, white-haired creatives and Gen-Xers in skinny jeans and black-framed Ray Ban sunglasses—buzz in and enter a small lobby. There’s a tiny splash pool and jacuzzi in the rooftop, which kids will love. As the country's (self-proclaimed) first urban green hotel, Palo Santo has put environmental practices in place, such as rainwater recovery, energy efficiency in rooms and in its architecture, low emissions and CO2 recovery, and more. Instead of plastic water bottles, rooms come with glass bottles of filtered water that guests can refill in the lobby at their convenience.

SLS Buenos Aires Puerto Madero Arrow

Like the rest of the hotel’s interiors, rooms are designed by Italian architect Piero Lissoni, who injects a touch of contemporary European sensibilities to the décor. Rooms feature hardwood floors, a black and white color palette, low-slung beds, rainfall shower heads in the peekaboo bathrooms (a glass wall looks out to the bedroom, but you can close the blinds), and mini bar stocked with local snacks and wines. The best part is the floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to private balconies furnished with a pair of butterfly chairs, perfect for taking in the views of the river and city beyond it. The complimentary breakfast is a must have, and includes delicious medialunas and other baked goods, jams, dulce de leche, cereals, the local mate drink, seasonal fruits and juices from the buffet as well as a la carte items like omelettes and French toast. Breakfast is served at Leynia, which in the evening becomes a steakhouse with a modern Japanese twist—think open-flame grilled meats, ossobuco empanadas, Patagonian trout ceviche, and teriyaki style shrimp.

Palacio Paz Hotel Arrow

The onetime headquarters of the army club, Circulo Militar, Palacio Paz is a magnificent Belle Epoque building that is considered one of the best examples of French architecture in the city. Attached to the 1890s-era building is a newer structure with a similar façade and accommodations that once welcomed visiting army guests. During the pandemic, the structure and army apartments were converted into a boutique hotel with 56 minimalist but comfortable guestrooms that call to mind an Ace Hotel in the Pacific Northwest. Set on the ground level, Moby Dick is a cozy little restaurant with an American vibe and a menu that will appeal to most everyone—think avocado toast, burgers and fries, steak or salmon with grilled vegetables, gnocchi, and milanesas, the breaded veal steak that’s beloved by every porteño.

Casa Chic Hotel Palermo Arrow

More of a bed and breakfast than a hotel, Casa Chic lives up to its name. Located above a delightful home and clothing store, Casa Chic offers just six rooms, each with its own charm thanks to eclectic textiles, art, and furniture. In the spacious lounge, which is decorated with Chesterfield leather sofas, vintage mirrors and lighting fixtures, and B&W photos on the walls, you might run into the other guests, mostly young solo travelers or couples from North America and Europe. There’s also a tiny terrace where guests can enjoy breakfast. The six rooms are small (at 431 square feet, the Studio is the largest) but charming in that Pottery Barn kind of way—think distressed farmhouse-style bed frames painted in a shade of chalky dove egg, striped cotton throw pillows, sheer curtains, fresh cut flowers on the nightstand.

Mio Buenos Aires Arrow

Set in a jacaranda-lined block in swanky Recoleta, this 13-story hotel with an opaque-glass exterior and massive front door crafted from French oak wine barrels hints at refined surprises that await inside. The sleek lobby and lounge are composed of metal, glass, wood, and exposed concrete and the crowd is a smartly dressed mix of locals and visitors. Recoleta is the city’s poshest enclave, a place where ladies and gents dressed in their vintage designer threads still meet for coffee at iconic cafes like La Biela, and youngsters hang out with friends at the park, Plaza San Martin de Tours, with its rubber trees planted in the late 18 th century. Don’t miss a visit to Recoleta Cemetery, an outdoor maze of small passageways where gorgeous statues and mausoleums in various architectural styles house the remains of Argentina’s prominent figures and very wealthy families.

Updated: May 31, 2023

Argentina is home to some of South America’s best luxury and boutique hotels and resorts. The best resorts in Argentina feature spectacular views, international cuisine, scenic golf courses, cattle ranches, and “all-inclusive” luxury accommodations.

You can find the best resorts and boutique hotels in Argentina in prime locations, such as San Carlos de Bariloche, Iguazu Falls, El Calafate, the Argentine Patagonia, and the heart of Buenos Aires, among many others.

This is me Visiting Arakur Resort in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego for my 3rd wedding anniversary ❤️

Today I share with you our updated list for 2023 with Argentina’s best luxury and boutique hotels.

If you enjoy traveling more authentically as I do, I welcome you to explore this list of different and quirky accommodations and dig a little deeper into each place…

Maria and I thought the best way to share our list of the best accommodations in Argentina was by following six different categories, which will make it easier for you when planning your travels in Argentina.

👉Best Ski Resorts and Boutique Hotels in Argentina

👉Best Boutique and Luxury Hotels in the Heart of Buenos Aires

👉Best Boutique Hotels to Experience Wine Tasting in Argentina

👉Best Hotels to Explore Argentine Patagonia

👉Best Luxury Hotels and Resorts in Iguazu Falls & Ibera Marshalls

👉Best Luxury Estancias and Cattle Ranches

Download our free South America Travel Guide with our Local expert tips to start planning your trip.

How Do We Choose the hotels and resorts in this list?

Our list includes top-quality ski Resorts with panoramic views and heated indoor-outdoor pools. Some have easy access to authentic experiences like the Wine country in Argentina, the Glaciers national park, and the Magellanic penguins in Argentinian Patagonia. We also include ranches or estancias with cattle production, horseback riding, and many others.

I think it’s important to say that our 2023 List of the best resorts in Argentina is based on Maria’s and myself’s personal preferences and not on a ranking ( or an Affiliate program. We or someone from our team have personally visited them! )

One of the things we love most about our work is personally visiting the stunning resorts in Argentina and South America and sharing this moment with our family ❤️. Photo N1 is Me ( Clara) and my daughter ( Ines) in LLao Llao Resort. Photo N2 is me in Ushuaia ( Celebrating my 3rd wedding anniversary) and photo N3 is Maria with her daughter Emilia, visiting Estancia Nibepo Aike in Patagonia.

This list is based on our personal experience and thanks to the feedback we have received from travelers from around the world, who have kindly shared their travel experiences in Argentina with us.

If you think we have missed something, just let us know! 😉

Some Q&A for you!

This guide is reaching an end… but before that, I’d like to answer some last questions … these are things you might be thinking of… 🤷

👉 Ski Resorts in Argentina look fantastic … but, is there good skiing in Argentina?

Definitely YES! Not all is about the wine, the Tango, the football, or the Gaucho! If you enjoy skiing, Argentina is known to be one of the best ski destinations in the world.

Argentina’s most developed and modern ski resort is Cerro Catedral in San Carlos de Bariloche, Patagonia. However, you can also ski in Tierra del Fuego, right at the end of the world in Cerro Castor, Ushuaia. There are other well-known ski resorts, such as Cerro Chapelco, Las Lenas in Mendoza, and the boutique ski resort of Cerro Bayo.

Just remember that the Winter season in Argentina runs from the end of June to Mid September. The ski season in Argentina is very busy, so plan your stay months (6-8 months at least).

👉Which are the best neighborhoods to stay in in Buenos Aires?

Our favorite areas in Buenos Aires are Recoleta and Palermo. The charming Recoleta is close to parks, the famous Recoleta Cemetery, and many restaurants and bars. Palermo is one of the city’s nicest parts, with many beautiful parks, shops, and fantastic restaurants. Puerto Madero is another excellent option to explore Buenos Aires; more modern and tucked away.

👉 Which luxury resorts in Argentina have rooms with great views?

Most of the hotels and lodges we select are because of their fantastic panoramic views. Places like Arakur and Cauquenes overlooking the Beagle Channel, Llao Llao facing the immense blue waters of Nahuel Huapi … or waking up to feel the power of the Iguazu Falls at the Gran Melia Resort… are experiences you will never forget in your life.

I recommend booking with a lot in anticipation (6/8 months in advance), and don’t forget to ask for a room with a view – not all rooms have those incredible views you are looking for!

👉 I’m planning a honeymoon in Argentina…Which are romantic resorts for honeymoons?

OHH, I love this question! Romantic luxury hotels are my favorites! Some hidden gems like Eolo in Calafate, Aguas Arriba in Chalten, the original Cavas Wine Lodge, and possibly Algodon in Buenos Aires are among my favorite options for honeymooners or – those like me – who are celebrating anniversaries!

👉 What is an “estancia” in Argentina?

This is a good one! In Argentina, we keep talking about Estancias as if people knew what we’re talking about! Estancia is the word used to describe a Farm or a Ranch. Like Los Potreros or La Bamba mentioned before, these are traditional working family ranches in the countryside; sometimes, they are actively working cattle ranches. If you are looking for authentic horseback riding, gauchos, and polo, an estancia is the suitable accommodation for you when visiting Argentina.

Got more questions? Don’t forget to Join our private South America Facebook Group now and ask us a question!

I genuinely believe that accommodation is part of the success of any holiday. One can only achieve it when picking accommodations that are right for you.

Argentina offers the best quality resorts and lodges in South America. The country is full of lovely lodgings offering charming boutique luxury hotels, resorts, or estancias with character, with an eye on sustainability in one-of-a-kind locations in South America.

Either you are going to the Argentine Patagonia, the Iguazu Falls, the Perito Moreno Glacier, or the Southernmost Ski resorts. I know that choosing the best resorts in Argentina that are right for you is crucial.

Maybe you want to enjoy the Andes mountains, a Romantic getaway in Uco Valley, see the spectacular views of the end of the world; you want to learn about Polo or Gauchos – or want to be at the heart of Buenos Aires;

Shoes are removed, and guests enter the exhibits. For many visitors, the impression is lasting and powerful.

2. Eolo Patagonia’s Spirit

Eolo is a 17-room Relais & Chateaux lodge overlooking the Patagonian Steppe, with distant glimpses of ice-blue of Lago Argentino.

Argentina Travel Guide

Last Updated: January 19, 2024

Argentina is one of the most popular countries to visit in South America. Whether you’re backpacking the entire country or just visiting on a short holiday looking to drink wine, eat steak, and do some hiking, Argentina will not disappoint you. I love the place to death.

From the relaxed café culture of Buenos Aires to the natural beauty of the massive Iguazu Waterfalls, the stunning Perito Moreno glacier to the charming vineyards of Mendoza , Argentina is a wonderfully beautiful country with world-class landscapes to match the delicious steaks, award-winning wine, and lively and welcoming people you’ll find here.

Argentina blew away all of my expectations.

This travel guide to Argentina can help you plan your trip, stay safe, stay on a budget, and ensure you make the most of your visit here.

Note : Argentina suffers from incredible inflation and prices vary widely and increase without notice. The prices here might be accurate as of the day we publish but could be dramatically different by the time you get there. Keep that in mind as you plan your expenses.

Top 5 things to see and do in argentina.

1. Enjoy the culture of Buenos Aires

Nicknamed the “Paris of South America,” Buenos Aires is an amazing and fun city with a lot of culture, fantastic nightlife, food, and shopping. Stay in the trendy Palermo neighborhood and walk the tree-lined streets, visit the Museum of Latin American Art in Buenos Aires (aka MALBA), and explore Palermo Soho which has a more youthful vibe and is crammed with cool shops and boutiques.

Additionally, on the southern border of Palermo is La Recoleta Cemetery, one of the most atmospheric graveyards on the planet and home to several famous Argentines, including Eva Peron, several past presidents, patriots, poets, and other VIPs of Argentine history. El Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, the National Museum of Fine Arts, is nearby as well. Opened in 1895, the museum houses works by Goya, Monet, Rubens, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and many other masters.

2. Marvel at Iguazu Falls

With 450,000 cubic feet of water thundering down the 275 cascades every second, it’s easy to see why this massive waterfall is so popular. The water plunges below in a powerful and sensational flurry of white water and mist with rainbows stretching above it all. The uneven cascades are also some of the tallest in the world, as they measure between 62-85 meters (210-269 feet). A sturdy wooden walkway allows visitors to wander out to get a closer, face-to-face look at the falling water. Some might remember the falls played a supporting role in the films Indian Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Captain America: Civil War, and The Mission, among many others.

You can find several types of guided trips leaving from Buenos Aires or just go on the local bus yourself. Stay in Argentina and get drenched on a boat ride around the falls or spring for a tour that includes Brazil on the opposite shore. The view from Brazil is arguably better, since you’re on a narrow ridge surrounded by the falls in Argentina. The entry fee for Iguazú Falls National Park on the Argentine side is 20,000 ARS.

3. Wander Salta

Located in the northwest of the country, Salta is a small city with outstanding museums, plaza-side cafes, and a lively folk music tradition. The colonial architecture of the city is well preserved here too. The most popular museum is Museo de Arqueología de Alta Montaña (MAAM), opened in 2004 for the mummies of three children sacrificed by the Inca and discovered in 1999. Don’t miss the Teleférico San Bernardo, a cable car that glides through the air to a hilltop with a gorgeous view of the whole city. A round-trip ticket for San Bernardo is 8,000 ARS.

4. Learn the tango

Argentina is famous for its national dance, the tango. You’re bound to run into it everywhere you go with people quite literally practicing in the streets. Throughout the country there are studios that offer lessons if you want to learn and free public places to watch the locals dance away. In Buenos Aires, splurge on a tango show at the historic Teatro Tabarís or Gala Tango. A more budget option is the outdoor shows in Plaza Dorrego, where the best dancers can be found every Sunday afternoon.

5. Explore Mendoza

Other things to see and do in argentina, 1. take the train to the clouds.

Sure, it’s a train built for tourists and super overpriced, but taking this train through the clouds and lush forest is so breathtaking I don’t mind. This is a 400-kilometer (250-mile), 16-hour round trip into the Andes from the town of San Antonio de los Cobres. You can buy the train ticket with the bus ride between Salta and San Antonio de los Cobres included, or via just the train. Consider buying just the train ticket so you can spend a little time checking out the Andean culture (and llamas) in San Antonio. As the train climbs to 4,200 meters (13,779 feet), you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views overlooking mountains, forests, and valleys. It only operates seasonally and on specific days of the week, so be sure to check the schedule before you go. The website only shows prices once you pick a date for the reservation.

2. Climb Cerro Aconcagua

At almost 7,000 meters tall (23,000 feet), Cerro Aconcagua is not only the country’s highest mountain but also the highest in the Western Hemisphere. This climb isn’t for the faint-hearted as it’s estimated to take a couple of weeks to acclimatize to the altitude and reach the summit. However, it’s a challenging hike, not a technical climb. Many hikers set their sights on part of the mountain, without risking the dangers of oxygen deprivation near the summit. If you love a challenge and are a practiced hiker, it’s an adventure worth considering! Due to the instability of the peso, many trekking companies post prices in USD. Guided summit hikes cost around $5,000 USD while an 8-day trek around the mountain (not to the summit but around the various camps) costs around $2,000 USD. The most popular option is a 4-day hike around the mountain, which costs $700 USD per person. Not into hiking? Nearby Los Horcones Lake is only 2,900 meters (9,514 feet) above sea level and a popular fishing destination.

3. Explore Valle de la Luna

Translated as “Valley of the Moon,” this dramatic landscape dates to the Triassic period. Winds and rain have carved the rocks into strange formations that give this place the look of a lunar landscape. Despite the arid conditions, the area is great for wildlife spotting as it’s home to foxes, owls, armadillos, condors, and guanacos. A wild cousin of the llama, guanacos will give your landscape photos a decidedly South American flair. The unique geological formations and fossil beds have earned its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Don’t miss the Museo de Sitio William Sill, built over impressive dinosaur fossils where you can watch archeologists at work.

The best way to explore the park is via a rental car. Once you have that, you can take the 25-mile circuit tour, stopping at five different points along the way, each one offering stunning sights and views of the park. The circuit should take approximately three hours. There are also hikes through the park. One of the most popular is the trek up to Cerro Morado, the tallest mountain in the park at nearly 1,900 meters (6,000 feet). The walk takes about three hours and, once at the top, offers wow-inducing views of the natural landscape below. Admission to the park is 5,000 ARS.

4. Hike on Perito Moreno Glacier

Located within the expansive Los Glaciares National Park is the impressive Perito Moreno glacier. At almost 4,570 meters (15,000 feet) wide and 61 meters (200 feet) tall, it’s one of the coolest sights I’ve ever seen. You can hike on the glacier (which is an epic experience) or walk on the metal platforms constructed a stone’s throw from the massive wall of ice. You’ll need a licensed guide, ropes, and crampons to hike on the glacier but you can take the bus from El Calafate and do the platform walk on your own. Boat rides to Perito Moreno get you even closer and can include other nearby glaciers like Spegazzini and Upsala. Depending on the season, a full-day tour including a boat ride costs around 99,000 ARS. Austral summer, from December to February, has higher prices.

5. Day trip to San Rafael

Located a few hours from Mendoza, this tiny little town is a wonderful place to see wineries. Try the local Malbecs and other reds that go perfectly with an Argentine asado. Like Mendoza, this is a great place to go on a bike ride through the picturesque vineyards. Don’t miss out on the nearby stunning Atuel Canyon, where you can go whitewater rafting in the summer. San Rafael is a charming little place to relax and slow down to enjoy the local pace of life. A bus from Mendoza to San Rafael costs 2,500 ARS for a one-way ticket.

6. Visit Ushuaia

Ushuaia is the most southerly city in the world and the largest city in Tierra del Fuego. This is a very popular town for travelers coming to the end of their South American journey, or for those traveling to Antarctica. This is the launch point for all Antarctica cruises, as the continent is only 1,100 kilometers (680 miles) away. Plan at least three days here to go hiking in the national park, walk among the penguins on Hammer Island, and try one of the local tea houses. The most popular is La Cabaña, at the foot of the Martial Glacier ski resort. If you’re there in winter, visit one of the three local ski resorts or go on a dog-sledding tour. Overall, it’s an adventure travel hub that deserves a few days before or after your other adventures.

7. Go whale watching

From June to December, whale watching season in Patagonia is at its peak as the whales make their way to the coast to mate. Whale watching is an expensive excursion, but it’s well worth it during migration time as you’re guaranteed to spot a few whales. The Valdes Peninsula is the best place to go on a tour. Only six companies are allowed to operate here so as not to disturb and overwhelm the whales. Expect to see orca, humpback, southern right whales, and blue whales. This is a remote area of Patagonia and the best place to stay nearby is Puerto Madryn. Due to the instability of the Argentine peso, most tour agencies post prices in US dollars. A full day wildlife and whale watching tour costs $145 USD.

8. Discover Quebrada de Humahuaca

The Quebrada de Humahuaca is a 155-kilometer-long (96 mile) valley carved out by the Rio Grande. The deep valley is covered in unique rock formations and has been populated for at least 10,000 years, making the area rich in ancient Incan history and culture. Visit the ancient Inca ruins at Tilcara and see just how much Andean culture still permeates the area. Explore the colonial streets and architecture of the tiny town of Humahuaca, with its bright orange mountain backdrop or walk around behind the mountain on an easy one-hour hike to see dramatic red and purple cliffs.

9. Visit Cajon del Azul

Located in El Bolson, a bohemian town near the Andes Mountains, The Blue Canyon boasts beautiful translucent turquoise waters flanked by rustic suspension bridges, alcoves, and cliffs. It’s a little more deserted than other nature reserves in Argentina, though it’s growing in popularity amongst climbers and fly fishers. If you go, it’s worth spending at least a few days in this area taking advantage of all the outdoor activities.

If you want to hike, there are a myriad of trails you can take, all of varying degrees of difficulty and length. The trails also have the most amount of refugios, or huts, than anywhere else in South America. This means you can plan a single-day trek or a multi-day hike, going from one hut to another for several days until you want to trek back to El Bolson. Before you head out on a hike, though, make sure you stop into the Mountaineering Information Office, or Oficina de Informes de Montañas, to get information about the hike you’re doing. It’s the best way to prepare for a trek here. There’s also a Tourist Information Office that should be helpful too.

10. See Casa Rosada

Dominating the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires is Casa Rosada, the Office of the President and arguably the city’s most notable landmark. The distinctive pink color is said to be due to the mixing of cows’ blood into the paint, to preserve the building. First Lady and labor activist Eva Perón (aka Evita) famously addressed crowds of workers from the building’s balcony (there’s a 1996 film starring Madonna based on her life).

Easily accessible on the city’s Subte metro system, the area around the Casa Rosada is worth visiting for its colonial architecture and famed masterpiece mural by Mexican artist David Alfaro Siquieros in the Casa Rosada Museum. There are, in all, 11,000 pieces of art in the museum. Admission is free but you must register and pick a time and date for your visit.

11. Stroll La Recoleta Cemetery

It might seem a bit morbid to visit a cemetery for pleasure, but Recoleta is one of the city’s most visited attractions. The cemetery is the final resting place of many of the city’s most notable citizens, including Eva Perón and the Paz family. Also worth seeing is the tomb of Rufina Cambaceres, who was tragically buried alive according to legends. It’s open daily from 8am-6pm. Afterwards, walk along Calle Vicente Lopez on the southwest side of the cemetery. It has become one of the hotspots in Buenos Aires for micro-breweries and is a great place to rest your feet after all the walking through the cemetery.

12. Discover San Ignacio Miní

Located in San Ignacio, these 17th-century mission ruins are the most complete in Argentina, with a significant amount of carved ornamentation still visible. Constructed in the Spanish Baroque style and heavily influenced by indigenous designs, the ruins are a beautiful and distinctive reddish color. The visitor center has a lot of background information on the fascinating history of the old mission, and the ruins have interactive panels for more information as well. San Ignacio is the perfect place to stop on your way to or from Iguazú, which is only four hours away. The town is on the Paraná River, near Posadas, where you can easily hop the border to Encarnación in Paraguay. Admission is 1,000 ARS.

13. Take a dip in the Termas de Colón

Located north of Buenos Aires not far from the border with Uruguay, the hot springs here have been a hot secret with in-the-know Porteños (people from BA), for many years. There are 10 different pools to choose from, each one a different temperature and health benefits. If you have kids the Termas de Colón also features kiddie pools and various water slides. The drive from Buenos Aires takes about four hours, making this either a very long day trip or a multi-day trip to the north to relax in the charming town of Colón.

14. Attend a fútbol match at La Bombonera

Visiting the legendary soccer stadium of Boca Junior, one of Buenos Aires’ two professional teams, in the La Boca district is a local experience you won’t want to miss. If they’re playing cross-town rivals, River Plate, even better, but if you’re in town during the soccer season, go to see La Boca playing any team. It’s a lively and sometimes crazy experience. Expect to spend a couple hundred dollars on tickets if you want to see a match. There are also tours of the stadium available too, though those also aren’t cheap at around 82,000 ARS.

15. Browse for books at a world-class bookstore

In Buenos Aires’ Barrio Norte, you’ll find El Ateneo Grand Splendid. Housed in an old theater from 1919, this bookshop has plenty of remnants left over from its days in the performing arts, such as murals on the walls and ceilings, and even balconies. The books on the shelves are mostly in Spanish, though there’s a small English-language section. That said, shopping for a good read here is not really the point. Just stroll around and admire the high ceilings and ornate design of the place. It’s one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world.

Argentina Travel Costs

Accommodation – Hostels are widespread throughout the country. Expect to pay 15,000-30,000 ARS for a 6-8-bed dorm room in Buenos Aires, depending on the neighborhood. In smaller towns like Mendoza, expect to pay 8,000-20,000 ARS depending on amenities. Private rooms in a hostel with a shared bath are generally double the price of dorm rooms, costing 20,000-50,000 ARS per night.

Free Wi-Fi is standard and most hostels also have self-catering facilities.

Hotels cost 40,000-60,000 ARS and always include free Wi-Fi, though other perks are generally pretty limited. At a two- or three-star hotel in Argentina you can expect TV (sometimes with international channels), daily housekeeping, bathroom toiletries, and, in some cases, an in-house restaurant, to varying degrees of quality.

Airbnb no longer posts prices in Argentine pesos, but averages $20-$50 USD per night for a private room and $30-$80 for an entire apartment.

Camping is widespread all around the country (including the world-famous Patagonia region), especially near the national parks. Expect to pay around 12,000 ARS for a basic plot for two without electricity.

Food – Argentine food is a mix of Mediterranean influences: first from Spanish colonizers, and later European immigrants in the 19th and 20th centuries, especially from Italy and Spain. Empanadas, pizza, polenta, and pasta all heavily feature in Argentine cuisine.

Argentines are famous for their asado (barbeque) and tremendous consumption of beef, especially steak and ribs. Tomatoes, onions, lettuce, eggplants, squashes, and zucchini are the most common vegetables. Dulce de leche , a caramel sauce made from condensed milk, is a popular sweet.

Yerba mate is the favorite national drink. It’s a caffeinated herbal drink that is prepared in a traditional gourd. It is consumed in social settings by passing around the gourd and its accompanying metal straw.

Overall, food is fairly expensive in Argentina, especially in popular resort and outdoor adventure towns. Take advantage of eating breakfast and lunch specials to get the most out of your money. Breakfast deals go for 1,000-2,000 and usually consist of a coffee and two media lunas, which are like a bready croissant.

Lunch specials vary greatly but are generally around 3,500-4,000 ARS. Meals at a cheap cafe begin at around 2,000-3,000 ARS for a light lunch of a sandwich or salad.

In terms of street food, empanada, choripán (sausage on bread) stands, and local hole-in-the-wall burger and pizza shops are economical and tasty. Empanadas go for around 700 ARS each, choripán for 1000 ARS, and fast food pizza or burgers for around 1500-2000 ARS. Fast food (think Mcdonald’s) is around 2,000 ARS for a combo meal.

In major cities, a dish at a Chinese takeout restaurant is around 8,000 ARS, while a dish at a sit-down Indian restaurant is around 8,000-12,000.

At a nice traditional Argentinian steakhouse, expect to pay 20,000-25,000 ARS for a good steak and wine. At more casual restaurants, steaks cost around 10,000-15,000 ARS, while vegetable-based pasta dishes cost 7,000-8,000 ARS.

In terms of drinks, beer is around 3,000 ARS while a glass of wine is also 3,000 ARS. A cocktail is around 4,000-5,000 ARS and a cappuccino is 3,000 ARS.

If you’re going to grocery shop, expect to spend about 25,000-35,000 ARS per week for groceries, including bottles of wine. This gets you basic staples like rice, beans, pasta, seasonal produce, and some meat.

Backpacking Argentina Suggested Budgets

On a backpacker’s budget, expect to spend at least 31,500 ARS per day. On this suggested budget, you’re staying in a hostel dorm, eating out at the cheap food stalls, cooking most of your meals, using public transportation, limiting your drinking, and doing mostly free activities like hiking and taking free walking tours.

On a mid-range budget of at least 70,000 ARS per day, you can stay in an Airbnb, hotel, or private hostel room, enjoy a few drinks and eat out more, take the occasional taxi, and do whatever tours and activities you want, such as wine tours and dance lessons.

On an upscale budget of at least 135,000 ARS per day, you can stay in a hotel, eat out for all your meals, drink more, go hiking in Patagonia, fly between cities, and do whatever else you want to do. This is just the ground floor for luxury though. The sky is the limit!

You can use the chart below to get an idea of how much you need to budget daily, depending on your travel style. Keep in mind these are daily averages — some days you’ll spend more, some days you’ll spend less (you might spend less every day). We just want to give you a general idea of how to make your budget. Prices are in ARS.

Argentina Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

While Argentina’s hyperinflation works in most travelers’ favor, it makes certain things in this country more expensive. Tours, food, and alcohol add up quite a bit. There’s a lot of price instability in the country. Here are a few hacks to cut down your costs and not let inflation ruin your fun:

• Use discount cards – Student and teacher discounts can get you incredible savings. You can also use the La Nacion Club and La Nacion Premium Club Cards, associated with La Nacion Newspaper, for discounts. Every week, the La Nacion Club Card website lists participating establishments that give discounts to cardmembers. This is good for travelers spending a long time in the country as you have to sign up for the newspaper.
• Hitchhike – While not common in the north of the country, if you’re in Patagonia, you’ll see many locals and tourists alike hitchhiking, as long-distance buses in that part of the country can be very expensive and infrequent. It’s simply more convenient to hitchhike. This common way to get around is highly recommended.
• Travel off-season – March-June and September-November are the low season when you can find cheaper accommodations and enjoy fewer crowds at attractions.
• Find the cheap eats – Empanada, choripán (sausage on bread) stands, and local hole-in-the-wall burger and pizza shops are your best options for cheap eats. It’s not the healthiest food, but it’s economical and tasty!
• Rent a bike – You can rent bicycles from hostels and rental shops for around 12,00 ARS per day in most major cities. This is especially useful when you’re in Mendoza’s wine country and you’re trying to get from winery to winery.
• Bring a tent – As you start to travel south to Patagonia, accommodation costs get expensive. Hostels are often 20,000 ARS or more a night here (as opposed to as cheap as 10,000 ARS a night in Buenos Aires). Look for camping opportunities as often as possible. When you aren’t in the national parks (where you can obviously camp), many hostels let you pitch your tent for a small fee.
• Stick to wine – 2,000 ARS bottles of wine in the supermarket is a phenomenal deal. Grab a bottle, drink it up. It’s really good too!
• Pack a water bottle – The tap water here is generally safe to drink so bring a water bottle with a filter to save money and reduce your single-use plastic usage. My preferred bottle is LifeStraw as it has a built-in filter to ensure your water is always clean and safe.
• Explore the outdoors – Hiking is free, and throughout the country, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to enjoy this and other outdoor activities since Argentina is blessed with many city parks and nature reserves where you can spend the day wandering around and relaxing. (And, of course, there are a plethora of national parks where you can do multi-day treks!).
• Don’t fly domestically – Thanks to a tax on foreigners, airfare in Argentina for non-residents is quite expensive. Unless you are in a rush, don’t fly. Take the overnight buses. It’s slower but affordable (and often a lot more comfortable).
• Dance for free – If you find yourself in Buenos Aires on a Sunday, you can find free tango events in San Telmo. (On Monday nights, there’s the famous La Bomba de Tiempo, a music and dance event that is well worth the minimal price for admission.)
• Take a free walking tour – There are a number of free walking tours in major cities. They are the best way to get the lay of the land on a budget and connect with a local guide. Just remember to tip your guide at the end. Two companies to try out in the capital city are Buenos Aires Free Tour and Free Walks Buenos Aires.

Where to Stay in Argentina

Looking for budget-friendly accommodation? Here are some of my suggested places to stay in Argentina:

• Milhouse Hostel (Buenos Aires)
• Up Viamonte Hotel (Buenos Aires)
• Sabatico Travelers Hostel (Buenos Aires)
• Villaggio Hotel Boutique (Mendoza)
• Gorilla Hostel (Mendoza)
• Alto Andino Hotel (Ushuaia)
• Cruz del Sur Hostel (Ushuaia)
• Antarctica Hostel (Ushuaia)

How to Get Around Argentina

Public transportation – Buenos Aires is the only city in Argentina with a subway system (the Subte). The subway runs from 5:30am-11:30pm on weekdays, 6am-midnight on Saturdays, and 8am-10:30pm on Sundays.

Public buses are the most common way to travel within the cities. In Buenos Aires, a one-way fare is around 1,000 ARS per trip. In Mendoza, fares start at 800 ARS.

In Buenos Aires, Mendoza, and Mar del Plata you need a transit card to use the public transit, while smaller areas take cash. You can find these cards at kiosks all over the place.

Taxis – Taxis are very affordable in Argentina. Prices start around 500 ARS and go up by around 300 ARS per kilometer. That said, public transportation can usually get you anywhere you need to be so you can likely skip the taxis here.

Buses – Argentina boasts an outstanding short and long-distance bus network. It is common to have food served on board as well as Wi-Fi and alcohol on long-distance buses. For example, the ride from Buenos Aires to Mendoza takes about 14.5 hours and tickets begin at 10,000 ARS. A 10-hour trip from Bariloche to El Calafate (in Patagonia) starts from 20,000 ARS, while the bus from Buenos Aires to El Calafate is 50,000 ARS.

A “shorter” journey like Mendoza to Salta in 7 hours costs about 35,000 ARS. You can take the overnight bus and then save on accommodation since you’ll be sleeping on the bus.

Flying – Flying around South America isn’t very cheap, and Argentina is no exception as fares are taxed highly for foreigners (it subsidizes cheap fares for residents). However, it might be worth it for you if you’re short on time as those 14-hour bus rides are not an efficient way to travel. Argentina’s two most popular airlines are Aerolíneas Argentinas (the domestic carrier) and LATAM.

You can fly from Buenos Aires to El Calafate for 340,000 ARS return, or Buenos Aires to Bariloche for 190,000 ARS return. You’ll get better deals the further out that you book your tickets.

Train – Argentina’s rail system only goes to three places: Buenos Aires, Cordoba, and Rosario. The train from Buenos Aires to Cordoba costs about 28,400 ARS. There are also train journeys aimed specifically at travelers, like the epic Train to the Clouds that begins in Salta and passes through the Andres. It’s one of the highest railways in the world. There’s also La Trochita, the Old Patagonian Express between Esquel and El Maiten for 30,000 ARS.

Hitchhike – Argentina is easy and safe for hitchhikers. You can find rides throughout the country, and Argentines are naturally curious about foreigners. There’s a good chance you’ll end up crammed into a car with an entire family! Hitchwiki has information on hitchhiking in Argentina if you want to give it a try.

When to Go to Argentina

Argentina is enormous. The best time of year to visit entirely depends on what regions you plan on traveling around.

Argentina’s spring is from September to November. This is one of the best times to visit overall (although it’s still very cold in Patagonia). Average temperatures range from 14°C (57°F) in the center, 8-14°C (46-57°F) in Patagonia, and about 20°C (68°F) in the north.

Summer is from December to February. This is the best season for spending time in the Andean mountains. It’s also the best time to travel to Tierra del Fuego, although there still might be snow. The north is a lot warmer, and Buenos Aires can get hot and sticky. Temperatures can get as high as 26°C (79°F).

Autumn (March-April) is another great time to visit, especially in the San Juan and Mendoza regions for the wine harvests. Temperatures here are 6-14°C (42-58°F). Patagonia is stunning this time of year with its bright autumn colors as well.

Winter is from June to August when temperatures dip to 8–13°C (46–55°F). This is the ideal time to visit if you’re a skier hoping to hit up the ski resorts. It’s not a great time for visiting Patagonia, however; bad weather can leave you stranded, and a lot of places are closed from Easter to October.

How to Stay Safe in Argentina

Argentina is a safe place to backpack and travel. While violent crime here is rare, petty theft and pickpocketing is on the rise so you’ll need to be vigilant. Don’t flaunt expensive jewelry or belongings while you’re out and about and always keep your wallet secure and out of reach. Cell phone theft is incredibly common and thieves sometimes literally snatch the phone right from your hand in broad daylight so be on guard and never bring your phone out in public. If you need to use it, step inside a shop just to be safe.

If taking an overnight bus, lock your bag and make sure your valuables are secure. If you rent a car, always keep it locked and never store anything in it overnight as break-ins can occur.

Female travelers should generally feel safe here, however, the standard precautions apply (don’t walk around at night intoxicated, never leave your drink unattended at the bar, etc.). Whenever possible, avoid walking around at night (especially if you’re alone). Even during the day, it’s best to walk around in groups when you can as you’ll be less of a target that way. If you’re carrying a purse, wear it across your chest so it can’t easily be snatched (a backpack is a better/safer choice, though).

When taking out money from an ATM, make sure to use a machine inside the bank so that you can safely access your money without prying eyes or people ready to rob you.

Scams here are rare, but they can occur. To avoid getting ripped off, read about common travel scams to avoid here .

Always check the weather before you go hiking and make sure you dress appropriately and bring enough water.

If you experience an emergency, dial 911 for assistance.

Always trust your gut instinct. Make copies of your personal documents, including your passport and ID.

The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past.

The 12 best places to visit in Argentina

Nov 18, 2023 • 7 min read

Plan your trip to Argentina with this guide to the very best places to visit © Alex Eggermont / Getty Images

Argentina is one of the most popular destinations in South America , and it isn't hard to see why.

Home to lively cities and tranquil wildernesses, majestic waterfalls and soaring mountains, not to mention wildlife-filled wetlands, glorious architecture, rich culture and renowned steakhouses, it's the whole South American package.

But Argentina is a big country, measuring 3800 km (2360 miles) from end to end, so there's some serious ground to cover.

For those unsure where to start, we can help you narrow it down with this list of our favorite 12 places that shouldn’t be missed, from  national parks carved by glaciers to vineyards in the shadow of the Andes.

1. Buenos Aires

Best for eating out

Sultry tango clubs and cacophonous football matches, beautiful barrios (neighborhoods) and historic cemeteries, world-class museums and raucous nightlife – Buenos Aires has everything you need for an immersive, big city experience.

Above all, the Argentine capital is a fantastic place to eat out . Its parrillas (steakhouses) – such as Don Julio , named the best restaurant in Latin America by the World's 50 Best Restaurants  – serve what could be the finest beef on the planet.

You'll also find a multitude of international joints, serving everything from Armenian to Peruvian cuisine, plus an ice cream parlor on virtually every block.

Planning tip: Buenos Aires is a big city, so it pays to base yourself close to the areas you want to explore. The neighborhoods of Recoleta , Retiro, Palermo and San Telmo offer a great mix of sights, places to eat, and local character.

2. The Pampas

Best for experiencing cowboy life

The flat, fertile grasslands that cover much of central Argentina are known as the Pampas , a place dominated by the cattle industry and synonymous with gaucho (cowboy) culture.

For an introduction to rural life, head to the town of San Antonio de Areco , whose museum and annual Dia de la Tradición festival showcase all things gaucho .

Planning tip: To get the best from a trip to the Pampas, stay a few nights at one of the many estancias (ranches) scattered across the region, which offer horseback riding, polo lessons and traditional asados (barbecues).

3. Buenos Aires province

Best for beaches

Argentina isn’t well known for its beaches , but the Atlantic coast south of Buenos Aires is dotted with appealing seaside resorts.

Although big, brash Mar del Plata draws the largest crowds, there are several smaller, quieter and more appealing stretches of sand. They include the forest-fringed beaches of Cariló, Mar de las Pampas and Mar Azul, great spots for sunbathers and novice surfers alike.

Planning tip:  Although you can explore the beaches of Buenos Aires province by bus, hiring a car makes things a lot easier.

4. Iguazú Falls

Best for epic waterfalls

Shared between Argentina and Brazil , stretching for 3km (1.85 miles) and flanked by subtropical rainforest, this magnificent string of waterfalls is one of the greatest natural wonders on Earth.

A network of trails, walkways and bridges run through the surrounding national park, allowing visitors a close-up look at the 250-plus cascades and cataracts.

The centerpiece is the Garganta del Diablo (“Devil’s Throat”), a seething mass of white water that produces a deafening roar and sends up great clouds of spray.

5. Parque Nacional Iberá

Best for birdwatching

The hot, humid wetlands of this recently created national park in northeastern Argentina are home to more than 360 species of birds, including kingfishers, jabiru storks and roseate spoonbills.

Dubbed the “Argentine Pantanal,” the reserve is undergoing a major rewilding process that is introducing rare or endangered creatures, such as red-shouldered macaws.

Its reed-lined channels and lagoons are best explored by boat, from which visitors can also expect to spot an abundance of mammals and reptiles, from caimans to capybaras, the world’s biggest rodent.

Planning tip: The best way to explore Parque Nacional Iberá is on the water. Guided boat and kayak trips are easy to arrange in the village of Colonia Carlos Pellegrini, the main gateway to the park.

Best for historic architecture

In the far northwest of Argentina, near the Chilean and Bolivian borders, this charming city is known as “Salta la Linda” (“Salta the Beautiful”).

On the edge of the Lerma valley, overlooked by mountains, Salta is filled with historic mansions, churches, municipal buildings and plazas, some of which date back to the city’s founding in 1582.

It also has a varied cultural scene encompassing excellent museums and galleries – such as the Museo de Arqueología de Alta Montaña , which explores Inca culture and the practice of human sacrifice – and atmospheric folk-music clubs called peñas .

7. Mendoza province

Best for wine tasting

Argentina is the world’s fifth biggest wine producer and the industry’s heartland is Mendoza province.

In the midwest of the country, close to the Andes, the region is carpeted with vineyards and wineries, many of which offered guided tours, tastings, accommodations, and even the chance to help out with the harvest.

And while Mendoza is rightly famous for its Malbec, plenty of other delicious wines – reds, whites and rosés – are also produced in the province.

Planning tip: Try to time your visit to coincide with the grape harvest from February to April. Expect plenty of demand for accommodations during the popular Fiesta Nacional de la Vendimia wine festival in March, Mendoza's biggest celebration.

8. The Argentine Lake District

Best for stunning landscapes

Glimmering bodies of water, emerald-green forests, and towering mountains and volcanoes dusted with snow – it’s not hard to understand why Argentina's Lake District is a traveler hot spot.

The gateway to this verdant region, the northwestern part of Patagonia, is the attractive lakeside city of Bariloche . Here you can pick from a wealth of outdoor activities – from hiking and mountain biking to fishing, kayaking and skiing – inside the surrounding Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi .

Planning tip: In winter (corresponding to the northern hemisphere summer), Bariloche becomes Argentina's premier ski hub . It's a busy time at the resorts around the city, but the powder is some of the world's best.

9. Cueva de los Manos Pintados

Best for ancient art

In a remote canyon surrounded by the Patagonian steppe, the Cave of the Painted Hands has an enigmatic collection of rock art created between 13,000 and 9500 years ago.

This Unesco World Heritage Site takes its name from the 800-plus stenciled outlines of human hands covering the walls.

Red, white, black or ochre in color, their purpose remains a tantalizing mystery. There are also images of pumas, guanacos (a wild relative of the llama) and rheas, as well as hunting scenes. Guided tours are offered from the towns of Perito Moreno and Posadas.

10. Península Valdés

Best for whale watching

The frigid waters off Península Valdés , a chunk of northeastern Patagonia jutting out into the Atlantic, teem with life.

A breeding ground for endangered southern right whales, who arrive in their hundreds between mid-June and mid-December, they are also home to elephant seals, sea lions and orcas, as well as more than 180 species of birds.

Accessed from the town of Puerto Madryn, this Unesco World Heritage Site offers a variety of boat, kayaking and diving trips, though marine life can often be spotted from the shore.

Further down the coast, 250km (155 miles) south of Puerto Madryn, Punta Tombo has South America’s largest colony of Magellanic penguins.

11. Ushuaia

Best for uplifting isolation

A famous sign in Ushuaia informs you that this is the “Fin del Mundo” – the physical end of the world. The far-flung capital of Argentine Tierra del Fuego sits on the shore of the Beagle Channel, more than 3000km (1865 miles) south of Buenos Aires.

It is the gateway to rugged Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego , the world’s most southerly railway line, and several winter sports centers, as well as the embarkation point for cruises to Antarctica, just 1000km (620 miles) to the south.

12. Parque Nacional Los Glaciares

Best for awesome glaciers

Spanning more than 5956 sq km (2300 sq miles) of iceberg-filled lakes, jagged Andean peaks and – most notably – gigantic glaciers, this park in southern Patagonia is one of Argentina’s signature tourist attractions.

The southern section – famous for the Perito Moreno Glacier – is accessed from the touristy town of El Calafate , while the northern part, a haven for hikers and climbers, is best visited from the rustic village of El Chaltén .

Planning tips: All manner of treks are possible from El Chaltén and El Calafate, from day hikes to multi-day adventures, and many routes can be attempted without a guide.

The house where the hotel is was built in 1957 by a traditional Argentinean family who used to host their friends here, including renowned intellectuals and artists. The aim is to maintain a house-like feeling, so you won’t see any signage, a visible reception, or numbers on the bedroom doors.

This Buenos Aires hotel is in a historic 1902 building built with bricks imported from Manchester. It was almost demolished in the early 2000s and then bought by the local fashion entrepreneur Alan Faena who conceived it with French designer Philippe Starck. It has 168 rooms, and they all are lavish and beautiful.

From this unique hotel, you can visit almost all the historical landmarks, including the Obelisco, Plaza de Mayo, and Teatro Colón. The hotel is traditional and rich in history, but don’t worry, it’s been updated throughout the years and has all the comfort and technology of modern days.

5. Nuss in Palermo Soho

Nuss Buenos Aires Soho is housed in a remodeled old Spanish convent in the heart of Palermo Soho, by Placita Serrano, a fun square with a playground and a weekend handcraft fair. It’s surrounded by some of the most exciting bars, restaurants, and art galleries in town in case you’re craving one of the best nightlife scenes in the world!

This is one of the coolest boutique hotels in Buenos Aires, featuring 22 elegant yet cozy rooms. You’ll love the naturally bright rooms, which boast plush beds, seating areas, smart TVs with streaming services, and room service. The hotel’s amenities include a sauna, a fully-equipped gym, and a splash pool on the terrace, perfect for enjoying the sunset over Buenos Aires.

The hotel has a restaurant serving complimentary breakfast, including excellent coffee, mate , and delicious baked goods (Buenos Aires is known for its wheat and the European bakery tradition). You’ll also find gourmet products, merienda (tea time) snacks, Argentinean wines and tapas, and picadas (charcuterie tables).

6.  1828 Smart Hotel

1828 Smart Hotel is one of the most thrilling boutique hotels in Buenos Aires. It’s modern and minimalist and has outstanding amenities and services. The location near Serrano Square couldn’t be better, and you’ll only have to walk a few steps to restaurants, cafés, and shops.

Another cool feature (the coolest, perhaps?) is a wine dispenser that charges straight to the room bill! 1828 Smart Hotel also offers a fitness center, babysitter services, and a restaurant on-site. Breakfast is served until noon, which is great because we can guarantee you that you’ll go to bed very late if you follow the local lifestyle. Be ready to have dinner at 10:00 pm!

10. Fierro Hotel  

If your ideal vacation includes soaking in a private hot tub while watching the sunset over the “Queen of the River Plate,” you must stay at Fierro Hotel in Palermo Hollywood. This excellent boutique hotel offers great services and amenities and a very relaxing ambiance.

You’ll love the large suites featuring separate dining areas, private balconies with garden views, and a curated selection of wines because, well, this is Argentina!

If you feel like exploring, this neighborhood is full of cool places to eat and shop. Plus, there’s a fun flea market nearby! The Mercado de Pulgas (Colegiales) is much less touristy than other markets, like the one in San Telmo that attracts droves of people every weekend.

11. Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt

Do you want to stay in the same place as celebrities like Madonna, Michael Jackson, and the Rolling Stones? Then, book a room at the Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt and experience one of the coolest hotels in Buenos Aires when it comes to old-school greatness and luxury.

This hotel is located on Avenida Alvear, the most elegant avenue in the city, with only seven blocks. The château was built in 1934, becoming the last palace built during Buenos Aires Belle Époque, inspired by the Château du Marais in Le Val-Saint-Germain, France.

The hotel has two buildings: the palace with 23 rooms and an adjacent building with 142 rooms and suites. They are all luxurious and offer fantastic city and garden views.

You’ll love spending time on the patios, terraces, and lush gardens with fountains and cascades. There is a library, three top-notch restaurants, and a bar. Your favorite feature, though, will be the 5 pm tea service offering pastries and delicacies from the on-site Duhau Pâtisserie.

There is a private art gallery on-site featuring pieces from all over the world and an excellent spa. The best part? Dogs are welcome!

12. Mio Buenos Aires 

If becoming a wine connoisseur is on your bucket list, you must spend a few days at Mio Buenos Aires , a fantastic hotel in Recoleta designed by fourth-generation winemakers who wanted to bring the absolute best of Mendoza wines to Buenos Aires.

Everything here screams wine, from the hotel’s front doors made with old French oak wine barrels to the cava offering 800 bottles of wine, wine-tasting experiences, and even a library where guests can borrow books to learn more about the topic.

This is one of the coolest boutique hotels in Buenos Aires and boasts 29 luxurious rooms featuring unique standalone bathtubs hand-carved from caldén wood (a native tree) by local artist Mario Dasso. Don’t worry: Dasso only works with trees that are already dead.

If that’s not enough, you’ll love the on-site wine bar, which serves excellent cocktails and incredible food. 

That completes our list of the 12 best Buenos Aires hotels! Did we miss any cool boutique hotels in Buenos Aires? Comment below so we can add them to the list!

Where to stay in buenos aires.

Regarding the best areas to stay in Buenos Aires, the city offers many options for every taste. Most top-notch Buenos Aires hotels are in Palermo, Recoleta, Puerto Madero, and El Centro. Other neighborhoods, like San Telmo (the oldest in the city), are also trendy among visitors but offer different lodging options. 

El Centro is convenient if you’re planning a whirlwind trip to the city, but many travelers prefer to stay in the Palermo area, which is just brimming with excellent restaurants, colorful street art, and plenty of things to do. 

For a dose of old-world charm, Recoleta is dotted with some of the best luxury hotels in Buenos Aires. This part of town is also quieter than the bustling El Centro and Palermo neighborhoods. 

This affluent area is home to some of the city’s most famous restaurants, cafés, shopping areas, designer boutiques, parks, and historical landmarks, including the cemetery where Evita is buried and El Ateneo, one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. 

If it’s a more local vibe you’re after, you’ll love staying among the cobblestone streets and historic attractions of San Telmo. Alternately the revamped Puerto Madero area is also home to plenty of modern hotels. 

No matter where you stay in this sprawling city, one thing is guaranteed: you’ll have exciting things to do in every neighborhood and easy access to public transportation. Taking taxis and Uber is safe and cheap, and the drivers will be the most talkative you will meet in your life. Download Duolingo now and start practicing your Spanish small talk skills!

Sampling local street food is another way to save money while enjoying the flavors of Argentina. Empanadas, choripán (a delicious Argentine sausage sandwich), and medialunas (croissants) are popular street food choices that won’t dent your wallet.

Public transportation is generally affordable in Argentina, and utilizing buses or trains can help you save on transportation costs. However, domestic flights are worth considering if you’re short on time or want the convenience of getting around quickly.

Renting A Car In Argentina

Argentina Travel Insurance

It doesn’t matter if you’re traveling solo or with a group on an Argentina tour. When visiting Argentina — or any other country in the world — make sure to get travel insurance to protect your health and safety.

In my opinion, the best travel medical insurance for travelers is SafetyWing as they’ve got a large network and offer both short-term and long-term coverage — including coverage if you’re traveling for months as well as limited coverage in your home country).

With coverage, you’ll have peace of mind as you embark on your Argentina travel itinerary.

Argentina Travel Guide FAQ

Below, find answers to frequently asked questions about traveling in Argentina .

Q: What are the best places to visit in Argentina?

Argentina’s natural wonders are some of its biggest attractions. The country is home to 33 national parks that show off the nation’s diverse landscape and ecology.

Iguazu Falls , located on the border between Argentina and Brazil, draws in thousands of travelers every year, all coming to marvel at the sheer power of the fourth widest waterfall in the world. Walkways and viewing platforms make it easy to get up close to the falls for a truly spectacular view.

In Patagonia , you’ll find L os Glaciares National Park , a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring giant ice formations you’ll have to see to believe. You can explore the Perito Moreno Glacier, the third-largest freshwater reserve in the world, on an ice-trekking tour, or just enjoy the view from the visitor center.

Just off the Chilean border in Southern Argentina, you’ll find Tierra del Fuego National Park featuring 156,000 acres of stunning landscapes and bucket list-worthy hiking trails .

Not much of an outdoor adventurer? Enjoy the park from the comfort of an antique steam train on the Southern Fuegian Railway.

Argentina’s cities are also huge draws for travelers looking to engage with the country’s history, culture, and modern lifestyle.

The capital city of Buenos Aires is home to gorgeous European architecture and one of the most vibrant cultural scenes in South America.

The Museo Nacional de Belles Artes houses over 500 years of international art, including works from Picasso, Goya, and Manet.

Take a deep dive into Argentinian history at El Zajon de Granados , a maze-like complex featuring 500 years of ancient architecture.

And of course you can’t miss Buenos Aires’ nightlife; this is the birthplace of the tango, after all!

In central Argentina, Cordoba features a mix of old colonial architecture and modern buildings, as well as a lively culture thanks to the city’s many colleges and universities.

The Jesuit Block is one of the city’s biggest draws and features one of the best-preserved European settlements in the area as well as the University of Cordoba, the fourth-oldest university in the Americas.

Museo de la Memoria also shows a darker side of the country’s history, preserving the memories of those lost in the “Dirty Wars” of the 1970s and 80s.

Argentina is also an amazing destination for foodies and wine enthusiasts.

Travelers flock to Argentina’s main wine-producing region, Mendoza , every year to tour the local vineyards and wineries, particularly during the harvesting season in March and April. You can easily tour the vineyards by bike and find tasting events any time of year.

The country is also well-known for its beef production, so carnivores will definitely find something they like here. You’ll find choripan (chorizo sausage in chimichurri sauce) on every corner in Buenos Aires and plenty of steakhouses throughout the country to satisfy your cravings.

Whether you’re chowing down at a family bodegon or a five-star restaurant, you’re bound to find something good.

Q: Is Argentina expensive for tourists?

Argentina is considered a pretty expensive destination . Years of high inflation and high prices can make it kind of difficult to find deals here.

The average traveler spends about $100 USD per day in Argentina on food, accommodations, transportation, and other travel expenses.

Still, there are plenty of ways to save money. Street vendors and smaller cafes often sell empanadas for less than $2 USD each and you can find some good lunch specials with a little research.

You can also save money by traveling in the off seasons (March through June and September through November), particularly when it comes to accommodations.

Q: What is the best way to travel around Argentina?

Buses are probably the most economical way to travel around Argentina. The country’s bus system is extensive and you can easily find routes running between major cities.

The coaches can also be quite luxurious , featuring air-conditioning, toilets, comfy seats, and sometimes even refreshments! If you’re taking an overnight trip, you can pay a little extra for a sleeper class ticket for an extra comfy ride.

Air travel is probably the quickest way to get from Point A to Point B in Argentina, considering the country’s size. Aerolíneas Argentinas offers tons of domestic flights, though there are several airlines operating in the country, including a few low-cost carriers.

You’ll want to book in advance, as flights can fill up quickly here. And be flexible with your plans if you’re flying — domestic flights in Argentina are subject to frequent delays and cancelations.

Q: Is Argentina safe for travel?

Argentina is considered a pretty safe destination . Violent crime is rare here, though muggings can happen in some cities.

Petty crime rates are higher, particularly when it comes to pickpocketing and purse snatching. You’ll want to keep any valuables out of view and stay aware of your surroundings to avoid pickpockets , particularly in major tourist areas.

You’ll also want to watch out for scams here. Never get into an unlicensed taxi and always double-check your change when paying in cash. And, as always, beware of any deals that seem too good to be true.

Q: What do I need to know before going to Argentina?

One major thing to know before going to Argentina is that the country is huge. This is not a destination you can completely cover in a short amount of time, so you’ll want to pick a few major places to visit if you’re on a tight schedule.

It’s also important to keep this in mind as you plan your travel between destinations. You may need to build in a day or two just to get from one place to another, so be sure to plan ahead.

Argentinians are also major night owls. Most businesses aren’t even open until 9 AM and everyone will know you’re a tourist if you show up for dinner at 6 PM.

If you’re into nightlife, you may find yourself out at the clubs until the wee hours of the morning. It’s best to try and take a break from your usual schedule and get on Argentinian time here. After all, you are on vacation!

It’s also important to note that the weather varies pretty widely here. You’ll find mild temperatures throughout the year in Buenos Aires, but winter temperatures drop to extreme lows in Patagonia.

The weather can also change quickly in the Andes region, so layer up and pack some rain gear if you’re exploring the mountains.

And don’t forget the SPF! The sun is strong throughout the country and protection is essential all year round.

Q: How many days should you spend in Argentina?

Most experts suggest spending 10-14 days in Argentina to visit different regions and get a good sense of the country. This will give you enough time to spend a few days in major destinations like Buenos Aires and travel between places without stress.

You may be able to fit one or two destinations in over a week’s time, but you’ll definitely need to plan a few more days for a more comprehensive trip.

Q: What is the best month to visit Argentina?

April through June are generally considered the best months to visit Argentina. These months make up the country’s autumn season where you’ll generally find mild temperatures and fewer crowds. You’ll also find great deals on accommodations during this time as most of the crowds have subsided.

Summer (December through March) is widely considered Argentina’s high season for tourism, so you’ll run into bigger crowds at popular attractions. The summer weather can also be quite warm and humid in certain parts of the country, making it a less comfortable time to visit.

Q: Do I need an Argentina travel visa?

Visitors from the United States , Canada , United Kingdom, Australia , Europe (European Union), and several other countries do not need a visa to enter Argentina. A valid passport will allow you to stay in the country for up to 90 days.

It’s recommended to view your country’s Argentina International Travel Information page for the most up-to-date information on entry and exit rules and Argentina Travel Requirements. You can also contact the Consulate General of Argentina.

Q: Where is Argentina?

Argentina is located in South America. It shares borders with Chile (south and west); Bolivia and Paraguay (north); and Brazil, Uruguay, and the Atlantic Ocean (east).

Q: Are credit cards accepted in Argentina?

Credit cards — particularly Visa and Mastercard — are widely accepted around Argentina at larger establishments, though it is always wise to carry some cash for smaller establishments and in case of emergency.

Q: Can you drink the tap water in Argentina?

The tap water is generally safe to drink in Argentina, though it is always best to double-check with your hotel to be safe.

Q: What is the local currency in Argentina?

The local currency in Argentina is the Argentine peso ($).

A brief guide to all the MICHELIN Key hotels in Chicago.

Travel Hotels Chicago MICHELIN Keys

On April 24, 2024, the MICHELIN Guide announced its very first Key hotels in the United States — a brand new distinction recognizing the most outstanding hotels in the country. We're thrilled to report that in Chicago, eight hotels earned at least One Key. Of those, half make their home in the kinds of historic buildings that give this city its well-earned reputation as one of the most architecturally distinguished cities in the country. Follow Michigan Avenue north from the heart of the Loop to the Gold Coast and you’ll pass within two blocks of all but one of them. The Chicago Athletic Association sits within a Venetian Gothic landmark. The Gwen makes its home in a storied 1929 Art Deco skyscraper. The Pendry sets up shop in the masterpiece that is the 1929 Art Deco Carbide & Carbon Building. And the lower floors of the Viceroy make use of the meticulously-preserved, 1920s-vintage Cedar Hotel. There are Key hotels too in newer builds, among them the Peninsula (with uniformed bellboys and staffers who seem to know the name of each individual guest) and the Waldorf Astoria , its lobby a marble marvel. Below, explore the map and scroll down for more about each of the MICHELIN Guide’s eight hotels in Chicago.

The Eight KEY Hotels in Chicago:

Chicago Athletic Association — One Key

Pendry Chicago — Two Keys

The Langham Chicago — Two Keys

The Gwen — One Key

The Peninsula Chicago — Two Keys

Waldorf Astoria Chicago — One Key

Viceroy Chicago — One Key

“We want to make and keep the city livable for residents and visitors,” the Netherlands city said in an announcement last week. 

Amsterdam has had strict policies for new hotels since 2017, but the new initiative seeks to “ensure that the number of hotel stays does not increase even further,” according to the announcement.

Under the new regulation, a new hotel may only be built “under certain conditions, if a hotel closes elsewhere,” the city said. This way, the number of accomodations in the city will stay stagnant. The hotel must also “be better,” like being more sustainable.

Twenty-six previously approved hotel projects will proceed with their construction as planned, according to the announcement. New hotels are being encouraged to be built outside the city center. 

Along with the hotel ban, the city is also limiting the number of overnight stays to 20 million for the year. 

The limit comes after residents complained of the effects of the high number of tourists. In 2023, the city experienced 20,665,000 overnight stays in hotels alone, not reflecting holiday rentals, bed and breakfasts and cruise nights. 

The regulation is the latest in a string of moves by the popular European destination to address rowdy visitors and mass tourism. This year, the city’s tourist tax increased from 7% to 12.5% – the highest in Europe. The city also banned guided tours through its famous Red Light District in 2019.

The Best New Hotels in the World: 2024 Hot List

Posted: April 24, 2024 | Last updated: April 24, 2024

It’s inevitable: Every spring when we pull together the Hot List , our annual collection of the world’s best new hotels, restaurants , and cruise ships , a staffer remarks that this latest iteration has got to be the best one ever. After a year’s worth of traveling the globe—to stay the night at a converted farmhouse in the middle of an olive grove outside Marrakech, or sail aboard a beloved cruise line’s inaugural Antarctic voyage—it’s easy to see why we get attached. But this year’s Hot List, our 28th edition, might really be the best one ever. It’s certainly our most diverse, featuring not only a hotel suite that was once Winston Churchill’s office, but also the world’s largest cruise ship and restaurants from Cape Town to Bali. We were surprised and inspired by this year’s honorees, and we know you will be too. These are the Hot List hotel winners for 2024.
