The short answer

Spring (September–November) and autumn (March–May) are the most pleasant; summer (December–February) is hot, winter (June–August) mild.

What makes Buenos Aires special

  • The 9 de Julio Avenue and its Obelisk are the city's symbols.

  • Recoleta Cemetery holds Eva Perón's tomb and stunning mausoleums.
  • Argentine asado (barbecue) and Malbec are national institutions.

Planning from India and Asia

Because flights from India are long-haul (typically 22–30 hours with one or two stops), it pays to book flights early for the peak season. Indian passport holders need a visa or e-visa for Brazil (e-Visa) and should check the latest Argentina and Chile entry rules before booking.
