Best Time to Visit
Spring comes in October and Buenos Aires blooms in purple thanks to the jacaranda trees (the Rose Garden Walk is a must). Major events like the Grand Prix follow in November, just before the foreign crowds reach the city starting December.
What to Pack
A Spanish-language handbook to engage with locals is essential. For dining out, be ready to dress to the nines, or be turned away, but in the daytime you’ll want something comfy for exploring – a walking tour is recommended.
General Tips
