Argentina Travel Tips

Language

Spanish is the official language of Argentina. Learn some basic Spanish before you go! Many locals and even tour guides may speak little English.

Currency & Exchange

The local currency is the Argentine Peso. Credit cards are generally accepted. If you are planning to pay with cash, bring crisp $100 bills to exchange – the exchange rate is better if you bring cash versus using an ATM.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit depends on what regions you plan to visit. Argentina’s spring (September-November) and autumn (March-May) are generally great times to visit across the country, while its summer (December-February) is the best time to visit the south and Andean mountains. I visited in December and enjoyed the warmth and sunshine.

Transportation

International flights arrive often arrive in Buenos Aires (EZE).

Within Buenos Aires, public transportation is cheap and efficient. In many cities (such as Buenos Aires and Mendoza), Uber is also cheap and generally available.
