You may have heard that tourism in Argentina has increased in the last 12 months by 23%.
Official data from the National Institute of Statistics and Census showed that 1.5 million individuals had visited the country in the first 2 months of this year, generating an economic impact that exceeded $1.2 billion.
With citizens from 87 countries eligible to visit through Argentina’s visa-free program, that number is only expected to grow.
That’s partly why eSIM Sim Local put together a free Buenos Aires Traveler’s Guide to provide a comprehensive resource designed to empower readers with the information they need when traveling to the nation’s capital.
In addition to details about restaurants and things to do, the guide includes information on hidden gems and the best of what the city has to offer.
The guide’s authors said: “We created this series to highlight must-see attractions as well as some hidden gems that only locals know about.”
For example, “One of the best things to do downtown is to watch the sunset. For that, I would suggest visiting a rooftop bar like Salón 1923. Located at Avenida de Mayo 1370 on the 16th floor, it’s only 10 minutes from the Obelisco. You can fall in love with Buenos Aires while sipping a cocktail and enjoying the stunning views of the city.”
According to the guide, the best of Buenos Aires include:
- Best pizza: The American (Callao 83)
- Best Tacos: Taco Box Palermo (Soler 5581)
- The best burger: Kiddo (Arevalo 2882)
- Best cocktail: La Floreria Atlántico (Arroyo 872)
- Best bookstore: The Grand Splendid Ateneo (Santa Fe 1860)
- The best ice cream: Cadore (Av. Corrientes 1695)
- The best coffee: Habito Café (Mexico 1162)
- Best dessert: Atalaya (Av. Belgrano no. 300)
- Best Vegetarian: Gordo Vegano (Echeverría 3078)
The number of foreigners who visited Argentina reached 13.4 million in 2023, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Census, marking an impressive 85.8% increase compared to 2022. Of this figure, 6.7 million were tourists.
However, not all visitors stayed overnight. Approximately 6.6 million, 85.8% more than in 2022, were day travelers, meaning they entered Argentine territory but did not spend the night.
Most of the tourists who visited Argentina in the first two months came from neighboring countries, including Chile, Brazil and Uruguay.
There was a notable presence of visitors from the US, who accounted for approximately 10% of the total.
