How we choose

Every place in our lists has been checked against its own website or an official source such as the Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina.gob.ar, Emova, Trenes Argentinos, Aeropuertos Argentina, the Teatro Colón, UNESCO or The MICHELIN Guide. MICHELIN stars are quoted only from the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Argentina. We use no ratings, and we leave out anything we can’t confirm.

Before you go

Opening hours, entry rules, prices and timetables change often in Argentina. Please check directly with each place, and with official sources, before you travel. Prices are in Argentine pesos ($).
