Argentina Travel Guide 

A country with pride in its culture and heritage, Argentina is a place that everyone has to experience at some point. 

The gourmet food, busy streets, picturesque buildings, welcoming locals, and spectacular pockets of nature make the South American destination a versatile stop. 

The quickest way to get around to all the major spots in Argentina is by domestic air travel. The flight network is vast, and Buenos Aires serves as the hub of the country. 

If you are looking for a more affordable mode of transport, the bus system is quite popular to get around Argentina. Keep in mind that this will take far longer, but the upside is that you will get to see much of the country on these journeys. 

Within the cities, you can use the bus if you need to travel longer distances, but we think that the best way to see the cities is by getting around on foot. 

Taxis are widely available but will be a pricier option.

Spend a few days here to enjoy the best of local Argentinian cuisine, enjoy the art and music, and take in the architecture and history of the place. Our must-see sights include the Teatro Colón, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, and Plaza de Mayo.

Cordoba: For a step into Argentinian history, Cordoba is a beautiful city with remnants of the past and vibrant culture. Cordoba’s architecture is reminiscent of Spanish colonial influence, and the buildings, cathedrals, and churches are exquisite. You cannot miss Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, Plaza de San Martin, and Evita Fine Arts Museum.
