High season - Summer: December to February

Arriving in Buenos Aires during its high season means stepping into a city buzzing with energy under the summer sun. Temperatures often soar, averaging around 28°C to 30°C, bringing long, bright days that encourage an outdoor lifestyle. The air is thick with the scent of jasmine and jacaranda, and locals embrace the warmth, often heading to parks and al fresco cafés.

This period sees Buenos Aires at its most animated. Streets fill with pedestrians enjoying evening strolls, and the city's renowned nightlife truly flourishes as people stay out late. While some *porteños* (locals) head to the coast for holidays, the city remains vibrant, hosting numerous cultural events and outdoor festivals, creating a festive atmosphere for anyone landing at this time.

Low season - Winter: June to August

The low season transforms Buenos Aires into a cooler, more introspective destination. Winter temperatures typically range from 10°C to 15°C, with crisp, clear days often punctuated by occasional rain. The air feels fresh and invigorating, prompting a shift from outdoor leisure to warmer indoor activities.

Upon arrival in winter, visitors encounter a city that feels distinctly more local and less tourist-centric. While the pace slows slightly, the cultural scene remains rich, with theatres, museums, and tango halls offering intimate experiences. This season is ideal for exploring neighbourhoods like San Telmo or Recoleta on foot, enjoying hot chocolate in historic cafés, and experiencing the authentic rhythm of *porteño* life without the summer crowds.

Touching down in Buenos Aires, you’ll feel the city’s pulse immediately, a rhythm that invites exploration and discovery around every corner. This is a place where European grandeur blends seamlessly with Latin American passion, promising a journey filled with unforgettable sights and sounds.
