Summer 2025 in Buenos Aires: the best plans to enjoy summer in the city

1. Having a picnic and relax in the Palermo Forests

The Palermo Forests (Bosques de Palermo) are the largest green lung of the city, so, you can imagine, it is an ideal shelter for very hot days. There you can have picnics, spend the afternoon reading under a tree, walk around the lake, or do activities such as riding a bike, skateboarding, or rollerblading. It is a perfect place to go when the sun goes down a little and enjoy the incredible summer weather of Buenos Aires. 

2. Taking a getaway to the mythical Mar del Plata

Just 1 hour by plane from the capital is Mar del Plata, an iconic space from the best times of Argentine society. Historically, Mar del Plata is known for its great festive atmosphere during the summer, the number of renowned plays it receives, and its restaurants and typical foods such as Manolo or Chichilo. We recommend taking a weekend getaway not only to enjoy the beach and rest but also, above all, to get to know another typical city loved by all Argentines, very characteristic of its history and culture.

3. Dancing a whole Monday evening with the Bomba del Tiempo

Bomba del Tiempo is a percussion group that has been around for 16 years! It gathers its fans every Monday at the Konex Cultural Center. It is one of the best experiences to live as a tourist or foreigner in the city: hundreds of people, of all types, tastes, and groups gather to dance to the rhythm of the drums without prejudice, without qualms, with the mere goal of relaxing the body, and enjoy the rhythm that more than 10 participants propose every Monday! In summer, the meetings are held outdoors, which combines perfectly with the summer climate of the city: a blue sky and a perfect temperature to enjoy a different experience. 

4. Taking an ice cream tour at artisanal ice cream stores

Buenos Aires and all of Argentina are recognized for their incredible artisanal ice creams. Thanks to Italian immigration, mixed with the typical traditions and the ones brought by the Spanish, an ice cream culture like few others in the world has developed in Argentina. Unlike other countries, here it is very easy to find an ice cream parlor on every street, and most of them have offered a delivery option for a long time before shipping apps like Rappi or Pedidosya existed. Some of the most recognized currently are Obrador Florida, which has only been around for a few years but has managed to position itself, Vía Maggiore or Scannapieco, two legendary ice cream shops, or Rapanuí, a very good quality chain that, in fact, in 2024 has emerged as the first Argentine ice cream store on the list of The Best 100 Ice Creams in the world, thanks to its unmatched chocolate flavor.

5. Enjoying the Costanera and try the typical Argentine choripán

This waterfront area is a green space facing the river, close to the Jorge Newbery airport, where you can take long walks in front of the water and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. It is also in this area where you will find something very typical of the country, some mobile stalls that, on the Costanera, sell hamburgers and the mythical Argentine choripán. This plan is ideal for a summer night with good weather and without much wind, to enjoy the calm atmosphere while you try this most simple and typical food and see an occasional plane crossing the sky. 

6. Spending a day in the Tigre Delta

Just an hour from the city, Tigre offers a perfect escape. You can tour the Delta by boat or kayak and enjoy a day surrounded by nature. Some islands work as private clubs that, by paying a daily pass, can access infrastructure such as swimming pools, sand volleyball, paddle tennis or ping pong courts, restaurants, beach seats and stretchers, changing rooms, and more. In Tigre, you also find El Mercado de Frutos, a popular stop for those looking for souvenirs and crafts of all kinds, from home decoration items to souvenirs to give as gifts.

7. Having brunch with friends on a sunny Sunday

Having brunch on a Saturday or Sunday is one of the best plans for many people: you don't have to get up early and eat delicious food, and you don't need to wait for lunchtime either! This plan, perfect for a weekend day with friends or family (or even with the sole company of a book!), has become very popular in recent years, and thanks to that, nowadays, in Buenos Aires, we find a good number of cafes that specialize in this type of service, such as Casa Cavia, Uco Restaurant, Foret or Malvón.
