If you’re chasing a city with big personality, bold flavours and a nightlife that doesn’t quit, Buenos Aires absolutely delivers. It’s where European elegance meets South American soul, colourful streets, leafy parks, late-night eats, world-class food, and that unmistakable tango energy around every corner. It’s the kind of place that keeps you exploring long after you meant to call it a night.

Browse the cheapest flights, check out premium economy or business class options, line up the best flight deals and book with confidence, all without blowing the budget. Too easy.
Few neighbourhoods capture the spirit of Buenos Aires quite like La Boca. Its streets are lined with rainbow-painted houses, local artisans, and tango dancers who seem to appear from nowhere. Caminito is the star attraction, offering a bright, energetic look into the city’s artistic side.
Think of this as an open-air gallery rather than a cemetery. Ornate mausoleums, impressive sculptures and famous names (including Eva Perón) make Recoleta one of the most fascinating stops in the city.
Sundays in San Telmo are iconic. The cobblestone streets fill with antiques, handmade crafts, live music, endless snacks, a little bit of chaos, and a whole lot of fun.
Palermo is the cool, creative heart of Buenos Aires. Boutique shopping, rooftop bars, trendy cafés and massive parks mean you can switch between chill and lively in a single block.
Often named one of the best opera houses in the world, Teatro Colón is big on beauty and even bigger on acoustics. Take a guided tour or see a live performance for the full experience, you won’t forget it.
Australian passport holders enjoy visa-free entry to Argentina for stays of up to 90 days for tourism.
Before travelling, make sure you meet the following requirements:

Travel insurance: As of 2025, all visitors must hold insurance that covers medical care, emergencies, evacuation and repatriation for the duration of their trip.

Accommodation details: It’s useful to have your first night’s address handy when entering the country.
Always check the latest Government of Australia travel advice before you fly, as requirements can change.
If you’re searching for flights Sydney to Buenos Aires or planning to fly from Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, you’ll usually travel via a major international hub — most commonly Santiago, Auckland, Doha or the USA, depending on your airline of choice. At the moment, there are no direct flights from Australia to Ezeiza International Airport (EZE), also known as Ministro Pistarini International Airport.
Major carriers offering routes from Australia to Buenos Aires include LATAM Airlines, Qantas, Emirates, United Airlines and others. Travel times vary depending on your stopover, but a Sydney to Buenos Aires journey generally takes between 20–28 hours in total.
With Mix & Match, comparing cabin classes, flight prices and flight deals is simple. Whether you want the cheapest fare, a comfortable premium economy seat or a business class upgrade for those with long legs, you can view fares displayed side-by-side and pick what works best.
Once you’ve arrived, getting from the international airport EZE into the city centre is simple, with several transport options available. Within the city, these are the easiest ways to explore:
Subte (Subway): Fast, affordable and great for reaching central districts.
Taxis & Rideshare: Widely used — stick to official taxis or trusted apps like Cabify.
Walking: Many neighbourhoods are pedestrian-friendly and best enjoyed slowly.
Buses: Cheap and extensive, perfect for reaching areas beyond the tourist hubs.
See a live tango show (or give a beginner class a go).
Enjoy an Argentine steak with a glass of Malbec.
Visit Casa Rosada, the famous pink presidential palace.
Shop and snack your way through San Telmo Market.
Tour La Bombonera Stadium, home of Boca Juniors football club.
Catch the sunset along the Puerto Madero waterfront.
Buenos Aires enjoys four distinct seasons, and the average temperature varies throughout the year:
Summer (Dec–Feb): 25–33°C — lively, warm and perfect for late nights out.
Autumn (Mar–May): 18–25°C — mild and great for sightseeing.
Winter (Jun–Aug): 10–17°C — cooler, fewer tourists, and often cheaper airfares.
Spring (Sep–Nov): 20–26°C — blooming parks and ideal walking weather.
If you prefer mild temperatures and fewer crowds, autumn and spring are often considered the best times to visit.
Learn a little Spanish — even basic phrases go a long way.
Currency: Argentine Peso (ARS) – use ATMs or exchange at reputable locations. Keep cash on hand as cards can be hit-and-miss.
Safety: Use common sense in busy areas and take licensed taxis at night.
Expect late dinners: 9–10pm is totally normal here.
Tipping: 10% is standard in restaurants.
Afterpay: Book now, pay later in four interest-free instalments.
