What November is like in Buenos Aires
November is one of the prettiest months in Buenos Aires. The jacarandas turn the city purple, highs reach about 77F (25C), and evenings are warm and long. The summer heat has not yet arrived, and the city is full of outdoor life. Crowds and prices are moderate.
November suits nearly everyone: couples, families, photographers, and first-timers. It is a top pick for walking the neighborhoods and eating outdoors. If you prefer cooler, quieter days, May or September is good, but for color and comfort, November is hard to beat.

Things to do in Buenos Aires
Teatro Colon

San Telmo Sunday market
The Feria de San Telmo fills Calle Defensa on Sundays with antiques, crafts, and street tango.
MALBA
The Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires, with works by Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Argentine modernists.
La Boca and Caminito
The painted tin houses and La Bombonera stadium. Visit in daylight and stay in the main tourist area.
A milonga
Watch or dance at a traditional tango hall. Many start late and run into the early morning.
Beat the crowds
- Visit Recoleta Cemetery and La Boca in the morning before tour groups arrive.
- Go to San Telmo early on Sunday; by midafternoon, Calle Defensa is packed.
- Book Teatro Colon tickets as soon as the season schedule is released; the best performances sell out.

Know before you go

- Many restaurants do not open for dinner until 8pm, and locals eat around 9pm or 10pm. Plan accordingly.
- Argentina has frequent public holidays, often moved to Mondays to create long weekends. Some businesses close on these days.
