Although Buenos Aires is a capital city overlooking the Rio de la Plata on Argentina’s northeast coast, it’s known as the Paris of Latin America thanks to its romantic Romanesque architecture. However, it isn’t just Paris that influences the city; it is one of the most diverse and inclusive Latin American cities with a rich melting-pot-of-a-culture that celebrates art and individuality. And while it may have a strong European influence, thanks to its early 20th century shipping boom, it has a true South American soul fired by a passion for politics, football, and tango. No trip to the city is therefore complete without visiting the Casa Rosada, the impressive government office, watching a game at La Bombonera, and dancing ‘til you drop in the streets of San Telmo.
Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) is the primary airport serving Buenos Aires, and the busiest airport in the country with flights to and from most major cities worldwide. To reach the city centre, which is located 32 km northeast of the airport, take the Roca train from El Jaguel station to Plaza Constitucion, followed by the underground C train to Retiro-Mitre.
Buenos Aires is usually warm in April, with highs of 22°C and an average temperature of 18°C. The climate tends to be wet, with an average 42% chance of rain each day.
