Buenos Aires is Argentina's largest and most cosmopolitan city. Indeed its European style and architecture is reminiscent of many parts of Paris and Barcelona. Porteños, or inhabitants of Buenos Aires, are known for their pride in their culture. A passion rings throughout Buenos Aires, whether it is among crowds discussing politics, bars with football spectators, clubs with tango dancers, or parks with couples making out. There is plenty to see and do in Buenos Aires including excellent restaurants, world-class arts and entertainment and nightclubs filled with Latino ambiance.

Argentina's high season is during the summer months of October through March and during the winter month of July. During this time tourism in Buenos Aires is at its peak and prices will be as well. Buenos Aires gets extremely hot and muggy in January and Febuary, which explains why many Porteños head for the mountains or the beach. The best months to visit weather-wise, if you're not planning to head to Patagonia to ski, are October, November and March, April and May. The winter months of June to August will be much cooler, requiring warmer clothes and less outdoor activity. Check out monthly temperatures and precipitation in Argentina.
