There are so many great things to do in Buenos Aires in March, and we hope you get to enjoy the beginning of Fall in the best way possible!
A few things worth knowing before you head out. A lot of what’s on this month is free, but free doesn’t mean guaranteed entry. Many events have limited capacity and require advance registration, and they fill up faster than you’d expect, so scan the list, pick your dates, and sign up early.
It’s also worth keeping an eye on the weather forecast for anything marked as cancelled in case of rain, particularly the rooftop tours and outdoor concerts. For paid events like Lollapalooza and Candlelight, book ahead rather than leaving it to the week before. Do a little planning now and March in Buenos Aires will be one of your favorite months in the city.
