Logistics

The easiest way to reach Buenos Aires is by flying into Ezeiza International Airport (EZE), which receives direct and connecting flights from major cities worldwide. For digital nomads on a budget, check airlines like LATAM, Aerolíneas Argentinas, or low-cost carriers with deals. The airport is about 40 minutes by taxi, shuttle, or public bus from the city center.

Buses connect Buenos Aires with destinations across Argentina and neighboring countries. The city’s large Retiro bus terminal is a hub for long-distance routes, offering a cost-effective option. While trains do run between some cities, long-haul bus travel is generally more reliable for most routes.

October’s spring weather is mild, so transportation should run smoothly with no major delays. Traveling by boat from Uruguay, especially from Montevideo or Colonia, is also popular and affordable. Advance booking is recommended during peak travel days.

Weather

Buenos Aires enjoys a temperate climate, with warm, humid summers (December–February) and mild winters (June–August). Spring (September–November) is especially pleasant, bringing mild temperatures, blooming jacaranda trees, and lively outdoor activities. Rainfall is spread throughout the year but never extreme.

Between October 24 and October 31, expect spring weather—days average 18–24°C (64–75°F), with cool evenings and the occasional light rain shower. Severe weather is uncommon at this time. It’s perfect for sightseeing, indulging in local cuisine at outdoor cafes, attending vibrant art and music festivals, and exploring Buenos Aires’ lively nightlife.

Food & Drink

Buenos Aires is famous for its steak (asado), empanadas, and Italian-inspired dishes like pizza and pasta. Don’t miss a classic medialuna (sweet croissant) with coffee for breakfast, and try a glass of Malbec or mate tea. Popular spots for affordable, quality meals include El Preferido de Palermo, Don Julio for parrilla, and Guerrin for pizza.

For digital nomads, cafés like Lattente and Lab Café offer great coffee, Wi-Fi, and outlets. Local bars such as Florería Atlántico and the relaxed Antares serve excellent cocktails and craft beers. Tipping is customary, with 10% typically left in cash, as it's not always included on the bill.

Vegetarians will find more options every year, but many traditional dishes are meat-heavy. While Buenos Aires is safe for food, drinking bottled water is recommended and mealtimes can start late; dinner often begins after 9 PM. Enjoy exploring the city’s lively café culture and diverse eating experiences!
