Argentina pairs a big, late-night capital with one of the world's most famous glaciers. In Buenos Aires you can tour a grand opera house, wander the marble lanes of Recoleta Cemetery, browse San Telmo's Sunday antiques fair and watch tango where it was born. Far to the south, El Calafate is the base for the Perito Moreno Glacier, about 80 km away by road, and its airport has daily flights from around the country. Iguazú Falls, on the border with Brazil, is a flight from Buenos Aires.
This page starts with our ranked picks for a first trip, best first, each with a practical tip on timing or booking. Below them you will find every sight we cover in Buenos Aires and El Calafate, with opening notes and checked entry fees where we have them, then answers to common questions.

- 1El Calafate
Walk the balconies facing the Perito Moreno Glacier
The Perito Moreno Glacier is the star of Los Glaciares National Park, created in 1937 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981. The glacier is close to 30 km long, and its front stretches 4 to 5 km across an arm of Lago Argentino. From time to time it advances onto the Magallanes Peninsula, dams the water, and the ice wall later ruptures, one of the reasons it is so famous. A network of walkways and viewpoints winds through the forest down to the ice front, with steps between levels and an accessible route. The glacier area is about 80 km from El Calafate by road, reached by car, regular bus from the bus terminal, taxi or organized tour.
Tip: Download the park's free audio guide in English, Spanish or Portuguese from the QR codes on the signs, and bring warm, windproof layers and sunglasses even in summer.

Wander the marble lanes of Recoleta Cemetery
Recoleta Cemetery was once the orchard of the white Basílica Nuestra Señora del Pilar next door, and in 1822 it became the city's first public cemetery. Its layout, by French engineer Próspero Catelin, is a maze of narrow lanes lined with towering mausoleums in Art Deco, Art Nouveau, baroque and neo-Gothic styles. More than 6,400 statues, sarcophagi, coffins and crypts honor famous Argentines, and over 90 tombs are national historic monuments. The most visited are those of Eva Perón, who lies in the Duarte family vault, and former presidents Sarmiento and Raúl Alfonsín. Look too for the Art Nouveau tomb of Rufina Cambaceres and the bronze bride at the Liliana Crociati mausoleum.
Tip: Allow a couple of hours, then walk on along Avenida Alvear, the city's most elegant avenue, past its Belle Époque palaces.

Tour the Teatro Colón opera house
The Teatro Colón is counted among the world's great opera houses, praised for its acoustics and architecture. Designed by Francesco Tamburini, Vittorio Meano and Jules Dormal and built over 20 years, it opened in 1908 and has hosted Stravinsky, Maria Callas, Pavarotti and Nureyev. It reopened in 2010 after a major restoration. The guided tour lasts about 50 minutes and takes in the main foyer, the Gallery of Busts, the gilded Salón Dorado and the main hall, with stories about the building, its staircases, sculptures and stained glass. Tours run daily, with set departures in English, and the route is suitable for people with reduced mobility.
Tip: Buy an English tour slot online or at the box office on Tucumán street, and bring a card or Argentine pesos, since foreign currency is not accepted.

- 4Puerto Iguazú
Feel the spray at Iguazú Falls
Iguazú Falls, on Argentina's border with Brazil, is one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature, set in a national park created in 1934 and listed by UNESCO in 1984. The Argentine side is explored on foot. The Lower Circuit, about 1,750 m of walkways with stairs, takes you so close to the falls you can feel the spray. The Upper Circuit, about 1,850 m with no stairs, runs along the top of the drops. A small electric or gas train runs through the forest to the Devil's Throat station, where a 1,100 m walkway crosses the upper river to the roaring main fall. The park is 18 km from Puerto Iguazú, whose airport has flights from Buenos Aires.
Tip: Buy timed tickets online, up to 30 days ahead, and arrive early, because the last train to the Devil's Throat leaves at 3:30 PM.

Watch tango, then try a milonga
Tango grew up in the working-class immigrant neighborhoods of Buenos Aires in the mid-19th century, a fusion of European, African and local influences, and by the 1930s it had swept the world. The city is still its capital. Stage shows, often with a live orchestra and sometimes with dinner, run from glossy productions to historic cafés such as Café Tortoni, founded in 1858. For the social side, go to a milonga, a dance night where amateurs dance into the early hours, from elegant halls to neighborhood clubs. Tango is most tied to the southern barrios of San Telmo, Barracas, Balvanera and Boedo, and every August the city hosts a big tango festival and world championship.
Tip: Many milongas teach a class before the dancing starts, a good way in for beginners, and the more formal ones expect smart dress and traditional codes.

Browse the Sunday antiques fair in San Telmo
San Telmo is one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, with cobbled streets, colonial houses with inner courtyards and old cafés. Its heart is Plaza Dorrego, and every Sunday the Feria de San Telmo fills the square and spills along Calle Defensa with hundreds of stalls: antique furniture, old advertising signs, vinyl records, colored glass soda siphons, clocks and crafts. Street tango, organ players and open artists' studios add to the carnival feel. A few blocks away, the Mercado de San Telmo opened in 1897 to feed newly arrived European immigrants and still has its original iron columns, glass roof and central dome, with stalls selling produce, antiques, records and good coffee.
Tip: Come on Sunday for the fair, but if you mainly want the indoor market, Saturday is calmer, and it is closed on Mondays.

Stand where Argentina began in Plaza de Mayo
Plaza de Mayo is the oldest public square in Buenos Aires, named for the revolution that began on May 25, 1810. Around it stand the pink Casa Rosada, seat of the national government, from whose balcony Juan and Eva Perón addressed the crowds; the Cabildo, the colonial town hall that witnessed the revolution and is now a museum; and the Metropolitan Cathedral, where Pope Francis said Mass as archbishop and where General San Martín's mausoleum is guarded by grenadiers. Since 1977 the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo have gathered here to demand answers about children who disappeared under the last military dictatorship. From here, Avenida de Mayo leads to Congress past Café Tortoni.
Tip: On Thursdays at 3:30 PM you can see the Mothers walk around the May Pyramid, and keep clear of any large demonstrations, which are common here.

Walk the painted houses of Caminito in La Boca
Caminito, in the old port district of La Boca, is a street museum of brightly painted houses. The street follows the course of an old stream and later a rail line, and it lay abandoned until the 1950s, when neighbors and the painter Benito Quinquela Martín began to revive it, using the tenements as a canvas. These conventillos, built of wood and sheet metal by Genoese immigrants from the late 19th century, often sit on raised foundations because of past floods. Today there are works by Argentine artists along the street, craft and painting stalls, and restaurants with tango and folk shows. La Boca is also home to Boca Juniors and its stadium, La Bombonera.
Tip: Stay within the patrolled tourist area around Caminito, since the streets outside it carry a higher risk of theft.

Sail among icebergs to the Upsala and Spegazzini glaciers
Much of Los Glaciares National Park can only be reached by water, and boat trips on the branching Lago Argentino are the way in. Most northern routes leave from Puerto Bandera, 47 km from El Calafate, and head for the Upsala, the park's largest glacier, ringed by floating icebergs, and the Spegazzini, its tallest. Some trips land at Refugio Spegazzini, with walkways, viewpoints and a restaurant, while others add the Heim and Seco glaciers, a short hike or a pass along the north face of the Perito Moreno. Depending on the route, a trip lasts from half a day to a full day, and the drive to the port takes about 50 minutes.
Tip: Book your boat trip in advance in El Calafate, along with a transfer to the port if you have no car, and dress in warm, windproof layers for the deck.

Trek across the Perito Moreno in crampons
The Perito Moreno is not only for looking at. Specialized guides take visitors onto the glacier itself, fitted with crampons, and several walks exist for different fitness levels. You usually spend 1 to 2 hours on the ice, but with hotel pickup in El Calafate, transfers and preparation, plan on about 6 to 8 hours in total. If walking on ice sounds like too much, a two-hour kayak outing on Lago Argentino in front of the glacier needs no previous experience, and several boat trips from the walkway area sail up to the south and north faces of the ice.
Tip: Book the trek ahead in El Calafate, choose the walk that matches your fitness, and bring sunglasses and sunscreen for the glare off the ice.

Hike toward Fitz Roy from El Chaltén
El Chaltén, a small village on the Río de las Vueltas in the north of Los Glaciares National Park, calls itself Argentina's trekking capital. Its name is the Tehuelche word for smoking mountain, after the cloud-capped granite peak also known as Fitz Roy. The best-known hike climbs to Laguna de los Tres, the closest natural viewpoint to Fitz Roy: about 25 km round trip and 8 to 9 hours, rated medium to high difficulty. Laguna Torre, an 18 km round trip of 3 to 4 hours each way, follows the Fitz Roy river valley to a lake facing Cerro Torre. Shorter walks lead to the Chorrillo del Salto waterfall. Daily buses link El Calafate and El Chaltén.
Tip: The long hikes are hard to fit into a day trip from El Calafate, so plan to sleep in El Chaltén, and register with the park before walking any trail from May to September.

Browse a former theater at El Ateneo Grand Splendid
El Ateneo Grand Splendid on Avenida Santa Fe is a bookshop inside the Grand Splendid theater, which opened in 1919 and staged ballet, opera and the first talking pictures shown in the city. Tango singer Carlos Gardel recorded here. It became a bookshop in December 2000 and kept its original balconies, railings and a 20 m painted dome by Nazareno Orlandi. Around 120,000 books fill the old auditorium, the theater boxes double as small reading rooms, and a café sits on the old stage behind a half-open velvet curtain. Entry to the bookshop is free, and a ticketed third-floor experience covers the building's history, with views of the stage from above.
Tip: Order a coffee on the stage and take your time, since browsing in the armchairs is part of the visit.

See Frida Kahlo and Latin American art at MALBA
MALBA, the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires, opened in Palermo in 2001 to show the collection of Eduardo Costantini, now one of the world's most important for Latin American art. The permanent galleries hold modern and contemporary works by Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Tarsila do Amaral, Xul Solar, Antonio Berni, Leonora Carrington, Wifredo Lam and Remedios Varo, and the museum stages about three major temporary shows a season. The limestone and glass building also has a cinema that still screens 35 mm film. The closest subway station is Facultad de Derecho on Line H, about 700 m away, and the walk from Recoleta takes 25 to 30 minutes.
Tip: Buy tickets online for quicker entry, and leave bags larger than 30 by 40 cm at the ground-floor cloakroom.

- 14Tigre
Ride the train out to the Tigre delta
Tigre, in Buenos Aires Province, is the gateway to the river delta, a world of canals and small islands less than an hour from the Obelisco. The classic way there is the Mitre line train from Retiro station to Tigre, the last stop. Alternatively, take the Mitre line's other branch to Mitre station, cross the bridge to Maipú and ride the Tren de la Costa, built with visitors in mind, to Delta station. Once there, the thing to do is a launch ride of about an hour through the canals and around the islands. The Puerto de Frutos market, open daily, sells crafts, souvenirs and home goods.
Tip: Go out on the direct Mitre train and come back on the Tren de la Costa for a different view, and aim for spring, from September to December, for the best boating weather.

Stroll the Rosedal and Japanese Garden in Palermo
Parque Tres de Febrero, the great park of Palermo, stands on land that belonged to the country house of Juan Manuel de Rosas until his defeat in 1852. Its Rosedal, a rose garden designed by Charles Thays and finished by Benito Carrasco in 1914, has more than 8,000 rose bushes around a lake, crossed by a Greek-style bridge, plus an Andalusian patio and a poets' garden with 26 busts of writers from Shakespeare to Borges. Nearby, the Japanese Garden opened in 1967 for a visit by the future emperor Akihito, with koi, an island with bridges and a bonsai nursery. Plaza Italia on subway Line D is the closest station.
Tip: Come between September and November, when the roses are in bloom, and pair the gardens with MALBA, a short walk away.

Eat late-night pizza on Avenida Corrientes
Avenida Corrientes is the street that never sleeps, home to the city's main theaters, many bookshops and pizzerias that stay open into the early hours. Buenos Aires pizza has a thick base and plenty of cheese; try fugazzeta, with onions, or napolitana, with tomato and garlic, at classic spots such as Güerrín or Los Inmortales. Where Corrientes crosses the 16-lane Avenida 9 de Julio stands the Obelisco, 67.5 m tall, built in 1936 for the 400th anniversary of the city's first founding. It marks where the national flag was first raised in the city and is where crowds gather to celebrate. Three subway lines meet beneath it.
Tip: Pair a show or an evening in the bookshops with pizza afterward, since many pizzerias stay open into the early hours.

Learn how glaciers work at the Glaciarium
The Glaciarium is an interpretation center devoted to glaciers and their ecosystem, about 6 km outside El Calafate. Its interactive exhibits explain how glaciers form and how climate change is affecting them, which makes the ice you see in Los Glaciares National Park far easier to read. Its GlacioBar is a themed bar built entirely of ice. You can reach it by public transport or private car. In town, the Centro de Interpretación Histórica covers the region's history and the origin of the glaciers, if you want more background before heading out.
Tip: Visit on the afternoon you arrive or before your glacier day, so the walkways and boat trips make more sense when you see the ice.

Watch birds by the lake at Laguna Nimez
Laguna Nimez is a municipal nature reserve on the shore of Lago Argentino, within walking distance of the center of El Calafate. From the corner of Avenida del Libertador and Ezequiel Bustillo it is about 1 km, crossing the white bridge toward the lake. A self-guided trail of about 3 km loops past interpretive signs, a viewpoint and a bird hide, and you can rent binoculars and buy field guides at the information center. It makes an easy first or last outing. On the way back, the Costanera on Bahía Redonda is the place for the classic photo with the big El Calafate sign, before dinner on Avenida del Libertador.
Tip: Bring binoculars or rent a pair at the information center, and wear a windproof layer, as the park advises for all of Patagonia.

What are the best things to do in Argentina for a first trip?
Split your time between Buenos Aires and Patagonia. In the capital, tour the Teatro Colón, walk Recoleta Cemetery, see Plaza de Mayo and the painted houses of Caminito, browse San Telmo's Sunday fair and catch a tango show or milonga. Then fly to El Calafate for the Perito Moreno Glacier walkways, a boat trip to the Upsala and Spegazzini glaciers or a trek on the ice. With more time, add Iguazú Falls or a few days of hiking in El Chaltén.
Sources: Visit Argentina, INPROTUR; Administracion de Parques Nacionales; Argentina National Parks Administration (official)How many days do you need in Argentina?
Distances are long, so plan by region rather than by country. Buenos Aires deserves several full days for its neighborhoods, museums and a tango night, plus a day trip to Tigre, under an hour from the center. Argentina's tourism board says the El Calafate area needs at least a week to cover its highlights properly, with El Chaltén as an extension for hikers. Iguazú Falls, a flight away, fills at least a full day. Add those together before you book flights between regions.
Sources: Visit Argentina, INPROTUR; Visit Argentina (INPROTUR, official); Argentina National Parks Administration (official)When is the best time for sightseeing in Argentina?
Seasons are the reverse of the Northern Hemisphere. Buenos Aires is most pleasant in autumn, April to June, and spring, September to November, when temperatures are moderate and the Palermo roses bloom. In Patagonia, the national park recommends visiting from September to April; high season in El Calafate runs from November to March, with long days. From May to October it is cold with heavy snow, which limits some activities and trails. Pack layers and a windproof jacket in every season.
Sources: Visit Argentina, INPROTUR; Argentina National Parks Administration (official); Visit Argentina, INPROTUR; City of Buenos AiresWhich Argentina attractions should you book ahead?
Iguazú Falls tickets are sold online for a set day and time, released 30 days ahead, and the national parks system does not allow changes after purchase. In El Calafate, boat trips to the Upsala and Spegazzini glaciers and Perito Moreno ice treks are booked in advance in town, ideally with your transfer. In Buenos Aires, reserve a Teatro Colón tour, especially for an English slot, and buy MALBA tickets online to skip the queue. Tango dinner shows are also worth booking.
Sources: Iguazú Argentina, Cataratas Area concession (official); Administracion de Parques Nacionales; Teatro Colon; MALBA; Visit Argentina, INPROTURHow do you get around Argentina?
Fly between regions: El Calafate's airport has daily flights from around Argentina, and Puerto Iguazú's airport has flights from Buenos Aires. In Buenos Aires, buy a rechargeable SUBE card for the subte, buses and suburban trains; the subte has six lines, with trains every three to ten minutes. Licensed black and yellow taxis are everywhere, and the city's BA Taxi app books them. From El Calafate, regular buses run to the Perito Moreno Glacier and daily buses to El Chaltén.
Sources: Administracion de Parques Nacionales; Argentina National Parks Administration (official); Buenos Aires City Tourism (official); Administracion de Parques NacionalesIs Buenos Aires safe for tourists?
Petty theft is the main risk. Pickpockets work on public transport and at terminals, and thieves on foot or motorbikes snatch phones and bags, so keep valuables close. Watch for the mustard scam, where someone sprays you and an accomplice offers help: refuse firmly and walk away. In La Boca, stay within the patrolled Caminito area. Avoid large demonstrations near Congress and the Casa Rosada, and book taxis in advance or hail only marked radio taxis.
