💰 How Far Does Your Money Go?
A café con leche and medialunas for breakfast runs about €2.80, less than a coffee and croissant back home. A craft beer at happy hour costs around €2, cheaper than a caña in central Madrid these days. A full steak dinner at a parrilla, entrecot, chimichurri and a glass of Malbec included, comes to about €27: roughly what you'd pay for the steak alone at a Madrid asador.
☀️ The Weather
Fly in February and Buenos Aires is deep in a humid, 29°C summer that barely cools off at night. By April it settles into a mild 24°C, the crisp autumn light the city is known for. Push your trip to June and you're looking at 17°C, jumper weather with clear skies more often than not.
🏨 Where to Stay
From a central budget stay by the Obelisco to a Recoleta palace, €483 leaves plenty in the budget for where you sleep.
Gran Hotel Argentino — 9.2/10 · From €20/night A few steps from the Obelisco and Avenida 9 de Julio, this no-frills option puts you in the centre of everything for next to nothing.
Legado Mítico — 9.2/10 · From €230/night A design boutique hotel in Palermo Viejo, each room themed around a piece of Argentine history, steps from the neighbourhood's best parrillas.
Palacio Duhau - Park Hyatt Buenos Aires — 9.6/10 · From €490/night A Recoleta palace with its own art collection, spa and indoor pool, the address serious travellers pick when money is no object.
🎯 What to Do
Buenos Aires runs on steak, tango and late nights, and a couple of weeks barely scratches the surface.
Recoleta Cemetery — Marble mausoleums stacked like a miniature city, including Eva Perón's grave, free to wander and genuinely unmissable. San Telmo Sunday fair — Antiques stalls, street tango and crumbling colonial buildings in the oldest, most atmospheric corner of the city. Bosques de Palermo — Rowing lakes, a rose garden and the UFO-shaped planetarium, the green space locals actually use. A tango show in a century-old San Telmo salon — The real dance in a real milonga, not a stage act built for tour buses.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Buenos Aires is also the easiest jumping-off point to the rest of the continent.
Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay — Cobbled colonial streets across the río, a one-hour ferry away. Iguazu Falls — One of the most powerful waterfalls on Earth, a two-hour flight north. Mendoza — Malbec country at the foot of the Andes, a two-hour flight west. Bariloche — Patagonian lakes and chocolate shops, a short flight south.
