First Things First: Greetings To Use On Arrival

Knowing how to greet people is the most basic thing you can learn in a foreign language. And yet its importance shouldn't be underestimated.

Even if you aren’t fluent enough to hold a long conversation, a simple ¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? (Hello, how are you?) can make all the difference.

You'll be able to use these expressions as soon as you arrive at your destination, whether it's at the airport, the train or bus station, or the hotel.

People appreciate it if you make an effort to speak their language when you visit their country, even if it’s only a few words.

Spanish-speaking countries are especially polite and greeting people correctly will go a long way towards endearing you to the locals, be they friends, people you meet in shops or on the street.

( BWAY-nos DEE-as)
(BWAY-nas TAR-des)
(BWAY-nas NOH-chays)
(KOH-moh eh-STAH)
(KOH-moh eh-STAHS)
(bee-EN GRA-thee-as [Spain] / GRA-see-as [Latin America])
(KOH-moh te YA-mas?)
(May YA-moh… )
(MOO-choh GOO-stoh)

And of course, let’s not forget common courtesy!

(por fa-BOR)
(GRA-thee-as [Spain] / GRA-see-as [Latin America])

If you get stuck in your Spanish conversation, you can always fall back on these next two phrases to get you out of trouble.

(yo no en-tee-EN-doh)
(Ab-la in-GLAYS)

Get What You Want On Your Trip With The Verb Querer

Once you’ve finished greeting someone, you’ll need to be able to move on to the crux of your conversation and to do that you’ll need to learn a couple of common verbs.

There are hundreds of Spanish verbs to learn and, to make your life more difficult, these verbs conjugate (change form).

This means learning a verb is never as simple as learning one word; you have to learn multiple different forms.

Having said that, you might be surprised by how far you can get only knowing one simple verb: I want .

It may not make you the most sophisticated Spanish speaker but 9 times out of 10 it will get you what you, well, want .

The verb in question is querer (to want) and in the first person form, it becomes quiero (I want).

Let’s take a look at how you can use it:

(yo kee-EH-ro oon me-NOO)
(YO kee-EH-ro oon taxi)
(yo kee-EH-ro OO-na ser-BAY-za)

If you’d like to be a bit more polite (which is usually a good idea), you can also use:

(kee-see-EH-ra…)

Asking For & Understanding Directions On Your Trip

Whether you’re looking for the toilet in a restaurant or trying to find a hotel to stay at, you’ll inevitably need to ask for directions at some point during your trip.

The simplest way to ask where something is, is to use ¿Dónde está? followed by the noun you are looking for:

(DON-day es-TAH el BAH-nyo?)
(DON-day es-TAH el BAN-koh?)
(DON-day es-TAH la KA-yay de al-cal-AH?)

When travelling in a foreign country, if you're asking someone on the street for directions, don’t forget your manners! To get someone’s attention, start by saying:

(Dis-KUL-pay)
(Con per-MEE-soh / Per-DOH-nah-may)
(eh- stoy per-DEE-doh)

Asking for directions is one thing but it’s pretty pointless if you don’t know how to understand the directions that are given to you!

Memorise these phrases to help you understand what the friendly locals are trying to tell you when you ask for their help:

(A la de-RE-cha)
(A la iz-kee-ER-da)
(De-RE-cho)
(En la es-KEE-nah)
(a OO-na KWAD-rah)

Getting Around Spanish-Speaking Countries

If you’re not keen on walking everywhere, you'll need to be able to find out about local transport options to find your way around wherever you are.

Here are a few simple phrases you can use to locate a bus, train or taxi and get to wherever you need to go:

(DON-day PWAY-doh en-kon-TRAR oon taxi?)
(DON-day eh-STAH la pa-RAH-dah de ow-to-BOOS mas ser-KA-nah?)
(DON-day eh-STAH la es-tah-see-ON de ferro-carr-EEL mas ser-KA-nah?)
(KWAN-to KWES-ta oon bee-YET-ay PA-ra …)
(oon bee-YET-ay PA-ra … por fa-BOR)

At A Restaurant On Your Travels

Each Spanish-speaking country has its own unique flavours and cuisine for you to try when you travel!

Food is definitely one of the big attractions to cities like San Sebastian in Spain and Buenos Aires in Argentina , so you'll need to make sure you have a basic grasp of food vocabulary ahead of your journey!

To start with, you need to be prepared to hear and understand certain questions in restaurants, such as:

(kee-EH-res AL-go PA-ra koh-MER?)
(kee-EH-res AL-go PA-ra beh-BER?)
(KAY kee-EH-res koh-MER?)

When you read the menu, you'll see the available food grouped into different categories, just like in an English menu:

(oo-na en-TRA-da)
(oon PLA-toh prin-si-PAL)
(oon POS-tray)
(OO-na beh-BEE-da)

When you're ready to order, use either quiero (I want) or quisiera (I would like) with the items on the menu to tell the waiter what you'd like. For example, quiero…

(OO-na SOH-pah)
(OO-na en-sa-LA-da)
(el POY-oh)
(la CAR-nay)
(oon AG-wa)
(oon BEE-noh TIN-toh / BLAN-koh)
(OO-na ser-BAY-sa)
(oon ka-FAY)

So, for example, to order that ice-cold beer you're looking forward to at the end of a long day, you'd say quiero una cerveza.

If you're not sure what to try, you can always ask your waiter for a recommendation:

(kay may re-kom-ee-EN-dah?)

In most restaurants in Spanish-speaking countries, the staff will be more than happy to suggest a particularly tasty local dish for you to try.

If you're a vegetarian or you have dietary complications, these next two phrases are essential:

(soy be-he-tah-ree-AH-noh/nah)
(TEN-go al-ER-hee-ah a las noo-EH-ses)

Finally, let's learn a couple of quick phrases you can use to ask about prices and pay the bill.

(KWAN-to KWES-ta? )
(la KWEN-ta por fa-BOR)

Key Spanish Question Words For Your Trip

Over the course of your journey, you'll almost certainly find yourself asking lots and lots of questions.

You might not have a huge Spanish vocabulary to draw on, but if you know the basic question words, you'll be able to get by in almost any common situation you might find yourself in.

Here are some key Spanish question words you need to know:

(KWAN-doh?)
(A kay AW-ra?)
(KWAN-toh?)
(KWAN-tohs)
(kah-dah KWAN-toh?)
(por KWAN-toh tee-EM-poh)

Once you’ve got these question words in your memory bank you’ll start noticing the patterns in Spanish grammar which will help you to move away from the basic Spanish phrases every tourist is using.

As you learn new words on your trip, you'll be able to combine them with these question words to start forming your own sentences and questions!

A Useful Guide to Spanish Travel Phrases

Written by Diana Luciana

August 25, 2022.

Are you planning a long-awaited trip to a Spanish-speaking country? 🌎

Your trip can be so much more fun and meaningful if you know how to say travel in Spanish, and communicate with the locals—how many times have you missed out on a secret spot because you didn’t speak the language?—and find your way around with this guide to Spanish travel phrases and words.

And One More Thing…

1. el recuerdo (the souvenir)

Recuerdo comes from the verb recordar , which means to remember. That is why a memory is also called a recuerdo in Spanish!

2. el regalo (the present, the gift)

They say “the present is a gift.” In Spanish, this can be said el presente es un regalo or even el presente es un presente .

You can buy the whole round-trip ticket, or un billete de ida (a one-way ticket) and un billete de vuelta (a return ticket).

Bear in mind that billete is used in Spain, while Latin American countries will typically use boleto or pasaje , depending on the country.

4. la maleta (the suitcase, the bag)

I think this is one of those funny words every language has.

If you use it in the singular, it is translated as “suitcase.” Each individual bag you have is a maleta .

However, if you use it in the plural, you can translate it as “luggage” or “baggage.” You do not have to count how many suitcases you have (unless you want to). You can just refer to all of them as a whole:

Dame esa maleta . (Give me that suitcase.)

¿Están listas tus maletas ? (Is your luggage ready?)

5. el pasaporte (the passport)

Never forget your passport or ID when leaving home, let alone when leaving your country!

DNI means Documento Nacional de Identidad (National Identity Document). I know you probably do not have one (yet), but if you are traveling to, say, Spain, do not expect people to say ID. For us, any ID is a DNI (deh-eneh-ih), and that is how we will say it to you.

Many European people have passports, but now you are able to travel throughout the whole European Union ( viajar por toda la Unión Europea ) by using just your European ID .

However, if you come from America, you will need a passport or a visa ( un visado in Castilian Spanish, also referred to as una visa in some Latin American countries) .

A typical sentence you will hear when checking in is:

DNI o pasaporte, por favor. (ID card or passport, please.)

This may sound rude to you, but it is not. Despite being in the form of an order, it is rather a shorter way of asking:

¿Puede mostrarme su DNI o su pasaporte, por favor? (Could you show me your ID card or passport, please?)

7. el turista (the tourist, the vacationer)

This Spanish word is very similar to its English counterpart , so it should not be problematic at all.

Just remember that nouns ending in -ista do not have a specific feminine form. Male and female tourists are both called turistas . You just change the determiners and any other accompanying word:

el turista / la turista , los turistas / las turistas (the tourist, the tourists)

este turista / esta turista , estos turistas / estas turistas (this tourist, these tourists)

un turista español / una turista española , unos turistas españoles / unas turistas españolas (a Spanish tourist, some Spanish tourists)

8. el paisaje (the landscape)

9. el avión (the plane), 10. el coche (the car).

For more information about the word “car” and its different translations into Spanish, such as carro and auto , take a moment to learn your Spanish transportation terms .

11. la gasolina (the gasoline, the fuel)

Gasolina is a word normally used to refer to any kind of fuel for your car in general. However, we also use it to specifically refer to gasoline.

If your car uses diesel, do not use gasolina! Choose the gasóleo or gasoil dispenser.

12. la gasolinera (the gas station)

Since gasolina is used to refer to fuel in general, you fill your tank at the gasolinera .

13. las vistas (the view)

You can use this word in its plural form if you are talking about landscapes. The singular form la vista normally refers to our sight, although you can use it to talk about the view too:

La vista desde esta ventana es muy bonita. (The view from this window is very pretty.)

14. la playa (the beach)

What can I say? Let’s go to the playa !

15. el museo de… (the museum of…)

You can always find a museum that appeals to you. Always! Some of my favorites are:

El museo de Ciencias (The Science Museum)

El museo de Etnología (The Museum of Ethnology)

El museo de Arte Moderno (The Museum of Modern Art)

16. el cine (the movie theater)

17. la piscina (the swimming pool).

For people like me who love traveling during the winter, I recommend visiting a piscina cubierta (an indoor pool).

Note that it’s also common to hear the word alberca used to say “swimming pool” in Mexico and some Central American countries.

18. el mar (the sea)

19. el concierto (the concert).

If you travel to Barcelona, do not miss the conciertos al aire libre (open-air concerts). They are simply great!

Note that you may also hear the term lentes used to refer to sunglasses (and also eyeglasses) in some countries in Latin America.

21. la cámara de fotos (the photo camera)

Let’s be honest, many people these days do not use photo or video cameras anymore. We use our cell phones to record our memories now, but you can still learn what these words mean.

24. la agencia de viajes (the travel agency)

25. las llaves (the keys).

It does not matter if we are talking about your house keys ( las llaves de tu casa ), the keys of the apartment you have booked ( las llaves del apartamento que has alquilado ) or the hotel key card ( la tarjeta llave del hotel ), just do not lose any of them, please!

26. el helado (the ice cream)

27. la heladería (the ice cream parlor), 28. la tumbona (the lounger).

This is the kind of lounger you would use by the pool, on the beach, in your garden, etc. Tumbona comes from the verb tumbarse , which means to lie down.

29. la terraza (the terrace)

30. el flotador (the float, the rubber ring).

What about manguitos (arm floats)? Do you think you will need them?

31. la Oficina de Turismo ( the Tourist Information Office )

32. la farmacia (the drugstore, the pharmacy).

Depending on where you are traveling to, you may also hear people call the drugstore la botica .

34. el cajero automático (the ATM machine)

Remember to always print or ask for your comprobante (receipt, slip) when using an ATM machine!

35. la avería (the breakdown)

Avería comes from averiarse (to break down). I hope you do not have problems with your car, but just in case, remember the following:

Mi coche se ha averiado . (My car has broken down.)

Necesito una grúa. (I need a tow truck.)

Disculpe, mi coche se ha averiado. ¿Puede llamar a una grúa, por favor? (Excuse me, my car has broken down. Could you please call a tow truck?)

There is no difference in Spanish between these two terms. Both refer to the document you should keep with you at all times while driving!

Presentar una reclamación means “to file a complaint”—but let’s hope there is no need for this!

38. la sombrilla (the shade, the umbrella)

Sombrilla literally means “little shadow.”

39. la escala (the stopover)

Here is how you would use this one:

Hago escala en Buenos Aires. (I’m stopping over in Buenos Aires.)

40. el auxiliar de vuelo (the flight attendant)

41. la tripulación (the crew).

You can also choose the type of bed you want:

la cama individual (the single bed)

la cama de matrimonio / la cama doble (the double/queen bed)

43. el secador de pelo (the hairdryer)

You can ask at your hotel:

¿Hay secador de pelo en el cuarto de baño? (Is there a hairdryer in the bathroom?)

44. la atracción turística (the tourist attraction)

45. la ciudad (the city).

Remember that many cities do not allow cars into their historic centers. Look for any Calle Peatonal (Pedestrian Street) sign, just in case!

These three verbs mean exactly the same, but bear in mind their construction is very different:

Voy a viajar a Madrid. (I am going to travel/go on a trip to Madrid.)

Voy a ir de viaje a Madrid. (I am going to travel/go on a trip to Madrid.)

Voy a hacer un viaje a Madrid. (I am going to travel/go on a trip to Madrid.)

48. ir de vacaciones (to go on vacation)

49. pasar las vacaciones (to vacation), 50. estar de vacaciones (to be on vacation).

I know these three last verbs are pretty similar, but they are used in different contexts, just like in English:

Voy a ir de vacaciones a Perú. (I’m going to go on vacation to Peru.)

Estoy pasando las vacaciones en Perú. (I am vacationing in Peru.)

Estoy de vacaciones en Perú. (I am on vacation in Peru.)

Remember that in some places you are not allowed to use the flash ( no puedes usar el flash ).

52. montar a caballo (to go horseback riding, to ride a horse)

You can use these two verbs interchangeably, but you had better remember that depending on the one you use, you might have to use a preposition . Besides that, the sentence construction looks a little different.

Have a look:

He hecho una reserva de hotel para dos personas. (I have made a hotel reservation for two people.)

He reservado un hotel para dos personas. (I have made a hotel reservation for two people.)

55. confirmar una reserva (to confirm a reservation/booking)

I highly recommend ( te recomiendo encarecidamente ) that you confirm all your bookings before starting your trip.

You would not want to arrive in a foreign country and realize you have no place to sleep ( no tienes un lugar donde dormir )!

56. ir de camping (to go camping)

Oh, look! An English word! Yes, we have more and more English words in Spanish !

However, if you want to be super Spanish when in a Spanish-speaking country, say acampar (to go camping) instead of ir de camping .

They both mean exactly the same, but I am sure people will be quite impressed with your Spanish skills!

57. hacer las maletas (to pack, to pack your luggage)

We “do” the suitcases in Spanish, because… why not?

58. visitar (to visit, to tour, to see, to go, to pay a visit)

Visitar is one of those verbs which, depending on the object, will or will not need the personal a . Remember the rule: if the object is alive, you need the personal a:

Me gusta visitar museos. (I like going to museums.)

Ayer visité a mi hermana. (I visited my sister yesterday.)

59. tomar un taxi (to take a taxi)

60. quedarse (to stay, like at a hotel).

Watch out when using this verb, because it has different forms with very different meanings. Here you have some of them:

Quedarse (to stay at a place):

Nos quedamos en un hotel. (We stayed at a hotel.)

Quedar + noun or time (to remain, to be left):

No quedan cervezas. (There are no beers left.)

Quedan dos minutos. (There are two minutes left.)

Quedar (to arrange to meet):

Quedamos a las cinco. (We arranged to meet at five.)

Quedar bien a alguien / Quedar mal a alguien. (to look good on somebody/to look bad on somebody):

Esta camisa no me queda bien . (This shirt doesn’t look good on me.)

61. descansar (to rest, to relax)

62. alquilar (to rent).

More and more tourists are deciding to rent an apartment ( alquilar un apartamento ) for vacation rather than stay at a hotel.

It allows them to save money ( ahorrar dinero ) and they get much more freedom to do what they want, when they want ( hacer lo que quieran cuando quieran ) .

Note that you may also hear the verbs arrendar or rentar used in some Latin American countries to say “to rent.”

63. hacer un castillo de arena (to build a sandcastle)

64. leer un libro (to read a book).

You can use these three verbs interchangeably, but remember that pasárselo bien is a reflexive verb and has the object pronoun lo (or la in Latin American Spanish: pasárse la bien ).

Bear this in mind when you conjugate it:

Note that vosotros is not used in Latin American Spanish. You should use ustedes instead.

66. ir de compras (to go shopping)

67. hacer turismo (to sightsee).

In Spanish, we say “to make tourism,” which may sound quite weird but it is not that crazy when you think about it!

68. ver los lugares de interés (to visit places of interest)

This verb is equivalent to visitar las atracciones turísticas (to visit the tourist attractions).

69. dar un paseo (to go for a walk)

70. hacer una barbacoa (to barbecue), 71. hacer un picnic (to have a picnic).

And while having a picnic, we say goodbye to this post.

Key Spanish Phrases for Travel: Latin America Style

Last Updated on September 30, 2023 by Keith Filed Under: Greetings , Language Learning , Travel

What do the awe-inspiring Iguazú Falls, the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu, the lush beaches of Cancún, and the picturesque streets of downtown Cartagena all have in common? They’re all located in Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America, of course! So if you’re planning to visit the amazing sights Latin America has to offer, you’ll need to speak Spanish once you’re there.

These useful Spanish travel phrases are going to help you get by when traveling in Spanish-speaking countries. In fact, they could be considered essential to learn, because you may need to use each and every one of them from the minute you land.

We’ve included basic Spanish phrases such as greetings, ordering food in a restaurant , checking into a hotel, transport, asking for and understanding directions , and some phrases you might need in case of an emergency. Fasten your seatbelts, muchachos , ¡porque nos vamos de viaje!

And do check our full guide to vocabulary and phrases for air travel to help make the travel experience easier but also more educational.

Table of Contents

Basic phrases

This first section of handy Spanish words is where you’ll learn the basic greetings , question words and common questions, and other common Spanish phrases you’ll need on a daily basis.

Making conversation and getting information is all about asking and answering questions, so memorizing the question words should be your first port of call! Here are the main question words presented in examples of common questions:

Please note: There’s a small, yet important difference between saying ¿ Cuánto está/cuesta? and ¿ Cuánto es? . You usually use ¿ Cuánto está / cuesta? if you’re asking about the price for a single item or service. You’d be more likely to use ¿ Cuánto es? when you’re asking about the total bill, for example at a supermarket, restaurant, or hotel.

Ordering food at a restaurant

Trying all the delicious local food is one of the best things about traveling. Latin America is home to many rich culinary traditions, so be sure to use the following phrases to order. (We decided not to include a long list of the actual names of foods because they can change from one Latin country to another–avocado is aguacate in some countries and palta in others, for example–and are often listed on the menu anyway.)

Here’s a food ordering conversation to help you practice:

Getting around

Exploring the city or town you’re visiting is the most exciting part of traveling, however, it can be a little daunting because you might have to ask someone for directions at some point. This would not be a good time to be stuck for words, so don’t forget to practice the phrases below several times to ensure they just roll off your tongue with no problem.

Let’s practice! Look at the map and read the conversation below where a tourist is asking a police officer for directions. You’re standing outside the museum.

Checking into a hotel

During your travels, you’ll inevitably stay at a hostel or a hotel, so you definitely need to master these common Spanish expressions and basic questions about your accommodation.

Problems and emergencies

We certainly hope you won’t need any of the phrases below during your travels, but they’re still part of the essential Spanish expressions that should be part of your vocabulary.

Review test

Time for a little test now to put your newfound vocabulary in practice! Choose the correct word to complete the sentence. (The answers can be found at the bottom of the article)

Congratulations! You’ve just gone from not even knowing how to say trip in Spanish (which is viaje, in case you’d missed it), to knowing several super important Spanish phrases to know when traveling. We hope you put these phrases to good use during your next adventure somewhere in Latin America. ¡Hasta la próxima, muchachos!

Top 10 Day Trips in Spain

If you're looking for a city that you can easily see within a day, Girona is one that you should consider. It is littered with gorgeous Gothic architecture and it is still possible to see remnants of the old Jewish community within the city. Located in Northern Catalonia, it is a great option if you're looking to explore a bit more of Spain from Barcelona.

How to get there:

From Barcelona Sants train station it is a 38 minute train ride. You can purchase your tickets (roughly 15 euros for an adult ticket) at the train station the day of departure, or from a third party ticket website such as http://www.thetrainline-europe.com/ .

Best things to do:

The Cathedral of Saint Mary is a must-see if you’re visiting Girona. Adult tickets are seven euros which includes an audio-guide.

Opening hours:

July and August: 10:00-19:30.

November to March: 10:00-17:30.

The rest of the year: 10:00-18:30.

The Arab baths are really cool if you get the chance to see them. They are remnants from the Moorish times in the city, and date back to the 12th century. Adult tickets are a very reasonable two euros.

Opening hours:

April to September:

Monday to Saturday 10:00-19:00.

Sundays and bank holidays 10:00-14:00.

October to March:

Monday to Sunday 10:00-14:00.

The river in Girona, which is named the River Onyar, is picturesque and really nice to take a stroll along after doing some sightseeing. We would recommend going in the late afternoon to catch the sunset.

For those of you who were hoping to explore a 2,000 year old castle situated at the top of a Spanish mountain with a view of the Mediterranean sea, Sagunto should definitely be added to your bucket list. Castillo de Sagunto is a Roman ruin that you can walk freely around, and also has an old Roman theatre attached. The tickets are free, and it’s a great place to spend a few hours exploring. When you're finished at the castle, head down to the beach for a beer and a plate of paella at one of the many beach-front restaurants.

From Valencia there are trains leaving from Valencia Nord train station roughly every 40 minutes. A round trip ticket is about 7.50 euros. The first train is at 06:50 and the last train is at 22:28. If you don't make the last train, you'll be either be spending the night in Sagunto, or facing a 40 euro cab ride. Ouch.

Things to do:

The Castle of Sagunto is hands down the coolest attraction of Sagunto. It is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10:00-20:00. On Sundays it is open from 10:00-14:00. Monday's the castle is not open to the public. The ticket is free, or “gratis” in Spanish, and also grants you access to the Roman theatre which is right beside the castle.
If you take the main road on your walk down from the castle, there is a restaurant called La Taverna de la Serp. It is open from 10:00-01:30 Wednesday-Sunday. It is an excellent place to grab a bite to eat after exploring the castle ruin. The food is excellent, and the prices are good. We would recommend getting some tapas and some Spanish wine.
After spending a few hours walking around the castle in the hot sun, you'll probably be looking to jump into the refreshing Mediterranean sea that happens to be a stone's throw away. There are buses down the port for 1.45 euros, and there is a stop right on the beach. If you didn't get something to eat at La Serp (or if you did and still want more---we aren't judging) there are tons of really great restaurants all along the beach.

This medieval town is one of Spain's gems. It has a mix of influences from Christian, Jewish, and Arab cultures, and is regarded as one of the most beautiful places to visit in Spain by the locals. Since it's rather small, it's the perfect place to spend the day. But be warned: one day may turn into two or three, since this place seems to have some kind of mysteriously magical pull.

From Madrid's Atocha train station, you can buy a round-trip ticket for 10 euros. The ride will take about 30 minutes and is definitely worth it. The trains go every 30 minutes starting at 06:30 with the last one at 23:00.

The Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes is one of the most beautiful parts of Toledo. It dates back to the 15th century, is well worth the 2.50 euro admission price.

October 16-February 28: 10:00-17:45

March 03-October 15: 10:00-18:45

Open everyday of the year except for Christmas and New Year's day.

Toledo Cathedral is the fifth largest cathedral in the world. This Gothic monument dates back to the fifth century. The tickets are eight euros including an audio-guide, which we highly recommend. It is open from 10:00-18:00 every day.
The Alcazar of Toledo is a great place to see the military history in Toledo. It was used as a Roman palace in the third century, and now houses the military museum. It is open from 11:00-17:00 Thursday-Tuesday. The tickets to enter are five euros.

This port city has everything you could ask for from a Spanish city: the beach, narrow streets, colourful buildings and amazing food. There is also a castle located in walking distance from the city.

Since it's on the top of one of the mountains surrounding the city, you can see all of Alicante and out into the Mediterranean sea. If you're up to it after a day of adventuring, be sure to check out some of the city's legendary nightlife.

From Valencia the easiest way is to take a bus from the Valencia bus station to the Alicante bus station. It is about a three hour bus ride, and the price starts at five euros. The tickets can be purchased at the station on the day of departure, or online using a third party ticket sales website.

The Santa Barbara Castle sits atop a mountain which overlooks Alicante and the coast. On a clear day it is possible to see all the way to Valencia, which shows you just how much you can see from this spectacular view point. It is open every day from 10:00-22:00. The ticket price is only 2.40 euros.
The Port of Alicante has an amazing beach with tons of places to eat and drink. During the summer it is pretty busy, so we recommend getting there early to secure yourself a prime location.

Not only does this city have a fascinating medieval history, it also has a beach that you won't want to leave, and nightlife that will have you partying until the sun comes up.

If walking around and gawking at the stunning Gothic architecture all day leaves you famished---worry not! Tarragona fulfills the stereotypical Spanish port city by serving up some seriously mouth-watering seafood.

From Barcelona Sants station, there are approximately four trains every hour that run to Tarragona. The ride is a short one hour and 15 minutes, and costs less than seven euros. There is a high-speed train that only takes half an hour, but it costs around 30 euros, so it may not be the best option if you are trying to save some money.

The Tarragona Cathedral is stunning and should be apart of anyone's visit to the city. The Gothic style represented by the cathedral is really something that you have to see for yourself, and for only five euros, you just can’t pass it up.
The archaeological site of Tarraco is one of the best features of Tarragona, which explains why it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are so many Roman ruins to explore here, such as a Roman amphitheatre and an aqueduct.

If you're in Barcelona and find yourself with a bit of extra time, we would definitely recommend checking out a mountain called Montserrat. Besides the stellar views, you can also find a monastery on this mountain that houses the Black Madonna, which is a very important piece of Spanish culture. If you're not afraid of heights, take the cable car up for a seriously breath-taking experience. Make sure to wear your walking shoes, because there are also several cool hiking trails.

From Barcelona's Espanya rail station, you'll be taking R5 towards Manesa. It takes about an hour to get there. The tickets can be purchased from a kiosk at the station, or from a ticket booth. They cost around 20 euros round-trip.

The many hiking trails at Montserrat offer amazing views, and are suitable even for people with no experience. You don't need to pay anything extra to access the trails, and there are many to choose from with varying lengths.
The Monastery is one of the highlights of Montserrat, and one of the main reasons that over 2,000,000 people trek all the way up the mountain every year. The Monastery is where the Black Madonna is kept, and it is possible to purchase a ticket in the basilica to visit her.
The Museum of Montserrat is a great way to see some of the amazing heritage of Montserrat, not to mention a good way to get out of the heat for a little while. It is open from 10:00-17:30 every day, and costs only five euros.

Calling all of you Salvador Dali fans out there, this one's for you! Figueres was the home of the famous painter Salvador Dali, and is now home to the Dali museum. Art-lovers should not miss this, as it is arguably one of the best art museums in Spain. Dali was even buried in the museum, in a crypt beneath the stage!

From Barcelona Sants train station, it is possible to take a train for about an hour and a half to Figueres. The trains are every hour starting just before 09:00, and cost 16 euros.

The Dali museum is, of course, the best thing to see if Figueres. It is open from 09:00-20:00 between the dates of July 15-September 30. The tickets are 14 euros, and are well worth it to fans of Salvador Dali. The museum is only a 12 minute walk from the train station.
Castell de Sant Ferran is lesser known in Figueres, but is something you should add to your list of things to do! It is open every day from 10:00-20:00.

Just a train ride away from Valencia, this beach town is perfect for anyone looking to soak up some sun. Castellon Is also a great place to catch a bull-fight, if that's your kind of thing. If not though, be sure to check out the cathedral and other stunning architecture.

From Valencia Nord train station, you can purchase a ticket for about 10 euros round trip. The trains start at 06:58 and run until 22:28.

The Castellon beach is one that locals don’t mind hopping on that hour train ride for. With tons of beach bars that all have insanely good local food, we can see why. So pack up your towel and some suntan lotion and get ready for the perfect beach day.
One of the most famous things in Castellon is the bell tower. You’re able to climb to the top and get a great view of Castellon. Did we mention it’s free?
The central market is not only beautiful to look at, but also a great place to go if you want to shop like a local. With everything from meats and cheeses, to fresh produce and baked goods, you are sure to find something that satisfies your cravings. It’s open from 07:00-15:00 everyday, except for Sunday’s which are closed.

This beach-side town is feels kind of like stepping into some kind of Spanish fairy-tale. Not only is it picturesque with the seaside castle, they also claim to have the best seafood in Spain. If you're looking to have some fun with the kiddies, there is also a beach there that has pockets of quicksand that will swallow them to about waist-height. Who doesn't love to be sucked into quicksand, right?!

From Valencia Nord train station, you can purchase a round trip ticket for about 27 euros. There are five trains a day, and they take roughly three hours.

The castle is one of the icons of Peniscola. It’s open from 09:30-21:30 every day. Some of Game of Thrones was filmed here, so if you’re a fan, try to spot some of the locations!
The narrow streets in the city are so beautiful, and are really an attraction in themselves. Let yourself forgo your maps for the day and just get lost. If you get hungry while wandering around, there are so many restaurants in town serving up the best local cuisine.
The Peniscola beach is one of the most fun beaches I’ve ever been to, ll thanks to those pockets of quicksand. Don't worry, it's not dangerous. You can't sink very deep, but it definitely causes a lot of laughter.

Last, and certainly not least, this city may be small enough to explore in one day, but it also has enough to do to keep you entertained for several days. Not only does it have many UNESCO World Heritage Sites, it also is chock-full of restaurants with amazing food. You really can’t go wrong with this one.

From any of Madrid’s train stations, you can buy a ticket either day of departure at the station, or on a third party ticket website. Since the train ride is only about 30 minutes long, it’s almost as if Segovia was destined to be your day trip from Madrid.

The aqueduct is one of the main attractions of the city. There are 163 arches that span 15 kms from the mountains, and it is possible to score a wicked view by climbing the stairs to the top (located just behind the tourist office). If you search for photos of Segovia, you will most likely find heaps of photos of this gem.
If visiting Sleeping Beauty’s castle sounds as awesome to you as it does to me, you’ll want to check out the Alcazar. This fairy-tale looking castle was actually Walt Disney’s inspiration for Sleeping Beauty’s castle. If you’re a parent of younger kids, you’ll score major points with them for this one! It only costs 5 euros for an adult ticket.

October to March: 10:00-18:30

April to September: 10:00-19:30

Even though these places aren’t as famous or popular as the more-well known big cities, these are all well worth spending a day or even more. If you’re able to take a day out of your city schedule, you won’t regret squeezing one or more of these Spanish gems into your itinerary. Which one do you like best? Let us know in the comments!

The 5 best day trips from Los Angeles

Feb 16, 2024 • 8 min read

Get out of LA and explore more of Southern California on one of these day trips © Mint Images / Getty Images

From sprawling panoramic mountain views to breathtaking blue oceans, there's a reason why Los Angeles holds a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike. But things get even better when venturing out of the urban landscape and into the surrounding area, a treasure trove filled with endless opportunities.

Food and wine enthusiasts will come alive in Santa Barbara, while lovers of small-town Europe will feel at home in Solvang. Just a short drive out of La-La Land will transport you to another world.

Whether you're a local seeking a break from the bustling city or a visitor hoping to soak in the surroundings of Los Angeles, these unique Southern California day trips guarantee memorable and one-of-a-kind experiences that promise to rejuvenate your spirit.

Women friends on holiday are sightseeing in Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara.

1. Discover the Spanish colonial beauty of Santa Barbara

Travel time: 1 hour and 30 minutes

Santa Barbara is full of natural beauty and cultural richness wrapped in a relaxed coastal lifestyle. The town reflects its Spanish colonial heritage with Mediterranean-style buildings and red-tile roofs – the perfect complement to the Santa Ynez Mountains in the background.

Foodies and wine enthusiasts will love a trip to Santa Barbara for its near-limitless offerings. Start your day visiting Cajé Coffee Roasters and order one of the signature (and very Instagrammable) drinks, such as the Sugar Wood or Belarosa. The tacos at La Super-Rica are another must-taste – there's a reason why Julia Child called this her favorite taco joint – and Bibi Ji is a local go-to for its friendly atmosphere and delicious twist on modern Indian cuisine.

You also can't miss a wine tasting while in Santa Barbara . If you're not venturing past downtown, visit Grassini Family Vineyards' tasting room for a $25 estate flight, and Salt Cave next door, home to the largest Himalayan salt cave in North America. A 45-minute meditation session is held at the latter each hour, guaranteed to leave you feeling relaxed and renewed.

A stroll down State St will see you end at Funk Zone to explore more tasting rooms, cafes, galleries and shops. For culture and architecture lovers, spend some time at the Old Mission , where you can picnic in the beautiful rose garden. The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History is also close by.

If you're spending the night or leaving later in the evening, try to catch a show at the Santa Barbara Bowl . The spectacular outdoor amphitheater was built in 1936 and has panoramic ocean sunset views.

How to get to Santa Barbara from Los Angeles: With no traffic, it takes 90 minutes on US 101-N to travel the 95 miles from Santa Barbara from Los Angeles. Alternatively, opt for the Amtrak train. The gorgeous coastal ride starts from Union Station in Los Angeles and takes just over two-and-a-half hours to arrive in downtown Santa Barbara.

Old Windmill and building at Solvang in the Santa Ynez Valley. Solvang is a Danish Village with typical architecture.

2. Indulge in Solvang's rich Danish wine country

Travel time: 2 hours and 10 minutes

Looking for a local European-style getaway? Visit Solvang, the Danish capital of America. Start by strolling or biking along Copenhagen Dr and indulge in Danish delicacies, like aebleskiver (pancake balls), while sampling wine. On the corner of Copenhagen Dr and Alisal Rd is Solvang Bakery . While the name may not be familiar, their work is. This is the bakery responsible annually for the Kardashian family's lavish gingerbread houses. In keeping with the holiday theme, if the idea of year-round Christmas is exciting, stop by Jule Hus and stock up on some handcrafted Scandinavian ornaments.

While a day trip is doable, you may want to spend more time in Solvang to get a feel for its 120 vineyards and 20 downtown tasting rooms. Royal Oaks is a favorite, or for something a little more upbeat, head to Cali Love for karaoke and DJ sets during your tasting. Visit the Hans Christian Anderson Museum , dedicated to The Little Mermaid author, if you're a fan, and definitely take advantage of the town's trolley tour.

How to get to Solvang from Los Angeles: Leave early to avoid traffic and make the most of your day. Follow US 101-N toward Santa Barbara for 90 minutes before veering off to CA-154 W/San Marcos Pas Rd for the rest of the way. Driving the 130-mile journey is necessary as public transport will take more than five hours.

Looking straight on to the auto ferry, near Balboa Island

3. Explore the beauty of Newport Beach's coastal delights

Travel time: 1 hour

Newport Beach boasts extensive water and land activities as well as entertainment for singles, couples and families. With 10 miles of coastline, Newport Beach is known for being one of the United States' largest small-craft harbors, boasting approximately 9000 privately owned yachts and sailboats.

When visiting Newport Beach, allocate some time to visit Balboa Island , a manmade island built between 1905 and 1913. To get there, catch the ferry on foot or stay in your car for the short three-minute ride. Ticket prices range between $0.50 and $2.50 each way, and the ferry runs until midnight. While there, a Balboa bar or frozen banana from the iconic Sugar 'n Spice is a must.

Back in Newport Beach, relax by the ocean at Crystal Cove State Park . The entrance is down a flight of stairs past Shake Shack , an iconic 1940s-style diner (not to be confused with the fast-food chain). Order your shake, burger and fries to go and eat down on the beach or, for a more hearty feed, enjoy upscale Mexican at Javier's or Italian classics at Mama D's – there will be a line, but it's worth the wait.

To get a better view of the ocean, consider hiking the Back Bay Loop Trail. The one-hour, 2.8-mile hike starts at University Dr and is open to all furry friends as long as they're leashed.

How to get to Newport Beach from Los Angeles: With no traffic, Newport Beach is a quick 50-minute (45-mile) drive from Los Angeles. Heading down 101-S, merge onto I-5 S and continue straight. Taking public transport is not advisable as it requires multiple modes of transportation and will take more than three hours.

The pool area at Ojai Valley Inn & Spa in autumn, with empty sun loungers and a mountain range in the distance

4. Restore your spirit and get grounded in Ojai

Travel time: 1 hour and 30 minutes

Ojai ("OH-hi") is found in a small valley north of Ventura and east of Santa Barbara. The Ojai Valley lies in a geometric vortex zone, described by Native Americans as an energy field rising from the earth's core due to the pull from the Topa Topa Mountains. The name is derived from the Chumash word for "moon nest" and has bountiful amounts of culture, history, farm-to-table restaurants, bakeries, breweries and wineries.

Ojai's calming energy makes it a great place for those looking to reconnect with themselves and others in a relaxing environment. To treat yourself, visit the Garden Spa at the Lavender Inn and opt for a massage, foot bath and customized herbal exfoliation. They even do prayers and use sacred oils.

After the spa, head downtown for lunch at Harvest Moon or Ojai Rotie (order the chicken). Continue your grounding day at Bart's Books , which claims to be the largest outdoor bookstore in the world, and soak in the culture at Dan Schultz Fine Art Gallery . The Ojai Olive Oil Company's $10 tasting is also a must-do. Sunday is a great day to visit Ojai to enjoy the weekly farmer's market .

How to get to Ojai from Los Angeles: The 80-mile journey should take 90 minutes along US 101 N and CA-33 N without traffic. Public transport is possible via Amtrak from Union Station and a changeover to a bus in Ventura, a journey that takes approximately three hours.

5. Eat your way through Torrance, the ramen capital of Southern California

Travel time: 35 minutes

Torrance is part of the South Bay region of Los Angeles County and prides itself on being a city of hidden gems. The area is a haven for food lovers, particularly those partial to huge flavors and international cuisines.

Outside of Honolulu, Torrance is the home to the largest concentration of Japanese residents in the US, and it's been dubbed the ramen capital of Southern California. Local ramen favorites include Matsui , Hakata Ikkousha Ramen , Ko-Ryu Ramen (take the spicy challenge if you dare) and the Shin-Sen-Gumi drive-thru . When you're all ramen-ed out, Torrance has more than 400 other eateries, including the popular Rascals Teriyaki Grill , King's Hawaiian Bakery and Restaurant and Piccini Italian Takeout .

Beyond food, community is at the forefront for Torrance locals. The city hosts an annual Summer Nights festival with musicals, movies, and live music playing at the Wilson Park Amphitheater between June and September. A visit to the Torrance Art Museum is also a must for contemporary art lovers. Admission is free, and the galleries and displays are frequently updated.

Being only 20 minutes from both LAX and SoFi Stadium, Torrance is the perfect central location for those looking to spend a few hours before a flight or stadium event. Torrance Beach is also nearby with a 1.5-mile stretch of uncrowded coastline, nestled between Redondo Beach and Malaga Cove.

How to get to Torrance from Los Angeles: Getting to Torrance is a quick 30 minutes from Los Angeles (20 miles) via I-110 S. Alternatively, hop on the J-Line Metro from downtown and change for a bus at the Harbor Gateway Transit Center. The trip should take a little less than 90 minutes.

Cabo San Lucas Travel Guide

Courtesy of ferrantraite | Getty Images

Why Go To Cabo San Lucas

Cabo San Lucas first beckoned to Hollywood's elite in the 1940s. The town's rather seedy reputation changed as world-class resorts took up residence here, in the neighboring village of San José del Cabo and along the 20-mile stretch of highway that connects the two (known as "the Corridor"). The construction of an international airport in the 1980s made it easier for travelers from all over to hop a nonstop flight to the "Los Cabos" area.

These days, this destination on the southernmost tip of Baja California is still known for its decadence – just take a look at the sprawling golf courses or deluxe villas. But the elitist pretense has dwindled: Days in the spa are just as coveted as evenings at a beachside watering hole. One sprawling sanctuary boasts as much as 40,000 square feet of treatment rooms and facilities. And there's a good chance that you'll see celebutantes and college freshmen sunning themselves side by side on the same stretch of sand.

Cabo San Lucas Travel Tips

Best months to visit.

The best time to visit Cabo is from May to June, when the wintertime crowds have gone home and the summertime storms have yet to hit. October and November are also nice months for a vacation, but you'll need to begin your hotel search early if you want to save money. It could be that your motivation for visiting is not the beach: If you're into whale watching, plan to visit between mid-December and mid-April. If you like to fish, look to come in the late summer or fall (October is the most popular period). Keep in mind: Pacific hurricane season runs from mid-May to November. Though Cabo typically only experiences tropical storms during the hurricane season, the city has seen hurricanes make landfall in the region. It's best to consider an international travel insurance policy regardless.

Weather in Cabo San Lucas

Data sourced from the National Climatic Data Center

What You Need to Know

Cabo is great for sport fishers Local catches include marlin, tuna and dorado. And remember, practicing "catch & release" is strongly encouraged in these waters.

Cabo is great for foodies Obviously, Cabo's strong suit is seafood. Try the delicious fish tacos – they'll change your life.

Cabo is great for whale-watchers If you're visiting in winter, you should take a sunset catamaran cruise around Land's End . This is a great spot and time of day to spot gray whales.

How to Save Money in Cabo San Lucas

Skip the all-inclusive While all-inclusive accommodations are normally a way to save money, this might not be the case in Cabo due to additional hotel taxes. You'll save money dining off-property.

Inquire about the shuttle Some hotels offer airport shuttle service for an additional fee. The cost varies, but it will undoubtedly be cheaper than taking a taxi.

Just say no Vendors often peddle their crafts in tourist areas. Learn to say a firm but polite, " No, gracias. " If you think you'll be too tempted, avoid popular spots like Playa del Amor during the midday cruise ship rush.

Culture & Customs

Many workers in Cabo's tourism industry speak English, so you can get by with limited Spanish. Many of the stores and restaurants have an Americanized feel, especially in the city center's chain restaurants. Nevertheless, it may be both helpful and respectful to know some basic Spanish vocabulary, such as hello ( hola ), goodbye ( adios ), please ( por favor ), and thank you ( gracias ).

Cabo's official currency is the Mexican peso, though U.S. dollars are widely accepted here as well. You're better off converting your cash to pesos, however, as the return exchange rate is unfavorable and even if you pay in U.S. dollars, you'll receive change in pesos. The U.S. dollar-to-peso exchange rate varies, so be sure to check what it is before you go.

And when it comes to dress code, keep in mind that standard beachwear is permissible during the day; dressy casual is preferred for upscale restaurants and nightclubs.

What to Eat

Cabo San Lucas has a special affinity for seafood, but restaurants featuring European and North American cuisines also attract travelers. Dining is generally expensive, but you can find cheaper eats and more fascinating cultural experiences if you try some of the hole-in-the-wall taco joints ( taquerias ) located downtown or along the hotel corridor.

Over the years as the area has increased in popularity, Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo have started to draw more and more acclaimed chefs (and their innovative menus) to Mexico. Some popular spots to try include Suviche Restaurant by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, located within the One&Only Palmilla Resort, which plates sushi and ceviche; Flora's Field Kitchen , which offers farm-to-table meals; and Tadd Chapman's Don Sanchez , which dishes out traditional Mexican fare with innovative flair. For a special occasion meal, consider El Farallon at the Resort at Pedregal for its oceanfront perch. If you're looking for a more casual but still tasty authentic Mexican meal, head to one of Cabo's smaller hot spots, such as Edith's , Mi Casa , Tiki Cabo San Lucas or Hacienda Cocina y Cantina .

Cabo's spike in tourism has also caused a rise in crime. Both cities have been affected by the drug trade – and have seen some accompanying violence – but the main tourist areas are relatively safe. Travelers should be vigilant about their belongings, though. Pickpocketing is common in heavily visited areas, and those looking to take a drive along the Transpeninsular Highway should be vigilant after dark when highway robberies have been reported to happen. The U.S. State Department's website urges travelers to exercise caution. If you plan to swim, warning flags on beaches should be taken seriously. If black or red warning flags are up, do not enter the water and you should never swim alone.

Getting Around Cabo San Lucas

The best way to get around Cabo San Lucas is on foot or by car. Sites are clustered within the downtown area, though some vacationers opt for a ride on the scenic water taxi to get from the downtown marina to the best beaches. The only trouble is that you can't walk between the Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo ; you'll need to drive yourself or take a taxi along the Corridor. Just don't venture too far off the beaten path – there have been reports of car thefts in outlying areas. Car rental agencies have set up camp in Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), which sits roughly 25 miles northeast of Cabo San Lucas and 7 miles north of San José del Cabo.

Taxi rides from the airport to Cabo San Lucas can be pricey. Check with your hotel to see if they offer a shuttle service, or consider pre-booking with an independent company. You may have to share the ride with other passengers, but you'll save a bundle. Past travelers provided favorable reviews for Cabo Shuttle Services , All Ways Cabo Transportation and Airport Baja Transfers .

Entry & Exit Requirements

You'll need a passport that's valid for six months after your visit to enter Mexico. The paper FMM Tourist Card traditionally issued upon arrival has been phased out at certain Mexico airports, Los Cabos included. You will now receive a passport stamp. For more information on entry and exit requirements, visit the U.S. State Department's website .

The southern tip of Mexico's Baja Peninsula is where vacationers head to experience Los Cabos and its beaches, golf courses and resorts.

Argentina Travel Guide

Last Updated: April 29, 2024

The stunning, towering mountains of Patagonia, Argentina under a pristine blue sky, with a large glacier in the foreground

Argentina is one of the most popular countries to visit in South America. Whether you’re backpacking the entire country or just visiting on a short holiday looking to drink wine, eat steak, and do some hiking, Argentina will not disappoint you. I love the place to death.

From the relaxed café culture of Buenos Aires to the natural beauty of the massive Iguazu Waterfalls, the stunning Perito Moreno glacier to the charming vineyards of Mendoza , Argentina is a wonderfully beautiful country with world-class landscapes to match the delicious steaks, award-winning wine, and lively and welcoming people you’ll find here.

Argentina blew away all of my expectations.

This travel guide to Argentina can help you plan your trip, stay safe, stay on a budget, and ensure you make the most of your visit here.

Note : Argentina suffers from incredible inflation and prices vary widely and increase without notice. The prices here might be accurate as of the day we publish but could be dramatically different by the time you get there. Keep that in mind as you plan your expenses.

Top 5 things to see and do in argentina.

The waterfalls of Iguazu Falls, surrounded by lush greenery, in Argentina

1. Enjoy the culture of Buenos Aires

Nicknamed the “Paris of South America,” Buenos Aires is an amazing and fun city with a lot of culture, fantastic nightlife, food, and shopping. Stay in the trendy Palermo neighborhood and walk the tree-lined streets, visit the Museum of Latin American Art in Buenos Aires (aka MALBA), and explore Palermo Soho which has a more youthful vibe and is crammed with cool shops and boutiques.

Additionally, on the southern border of Palermo is La Recoleta Cemetery, one of the most atmospheric graveyards on the planet and home to several famous Argentines, including Eva Peron, several past presidents, patriots, poets, and other VIPs of Argentine history. El Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, the National Museum of Fine Arts, is nearby as well. Opened in 1895, the museum houses works by Goya, Monet, Rubens, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and many other masters.

2. Marvel at Iguazu Falls

With 450,000 cubic feet of water thundering down the 275 cascades every second, it’s easy to see why this massive waterfall is so popular. The water plunges below in a powerful and sensational flurry of white water and mist with rainbows stretching above it all. The uneven cascades are also some of the tallest in the world, as they measure between 62-85 meters (210-269 feet). A sturdy wooden walkway allows visitors to wander out to get a closer, face-to-face look at the falling water. Some might remember the falls played a supporting role in the films Indian Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Captain America: Civil War, and The Mission, among many others.

You can find several types of guided trips leaving from Buenos Aires or just go on the local bus yourself. Stay in Argentina and get drenched on a boat ride around the falls or spring for a tour that includes Brazil on the opposite shore. The view from Brazil is arguably better, since you’re on a narrow ridge surrounded by the falls in Argentina. The entry fee for Iguazú Falls National Park on the Argentine side is 20,000 ARS.

3. Wander Salta

Located in the northwest of the country, Salta is a small city with outstanding museums, plaza-side cafes, and a lively folk music tradition. The colonial architecture of the city is well preserved here too. The most popular museum is Museo de Arqueología de Alta Montaña (MAAM), opened in 2004 for the mummies of three children sacrificed by the Inca and discovered in 1999. Don’t miss the Teleférico San Bernardo, a cable car that glides through the air to a hilltop with a gorgeous view of the whole city. A round-trip ticket for San Bernardo is 8,000 ARS.

4. Learn the tango

Argentina is famous for its national dance, the tango. You’re bound to run into it everywhere you go with people quite literally practicing in the streets. Throughout the country there are studios that offer lessons if you want to learn and free public places to watch the locals dance away. In Buenos Aires, splurge on a tango show at the historic Teatro Tabarís or Gala Tango. A more budget option is the outdoor shows in Plaza Dorrego, where the best dancers can be found every Sunday afternoon.

5. Explore Mendoza

Other things to see and do in argentina, 1. take the train to the clouds.

Sure, it’s a train built for tourists and super overpriced, but taking this train through the clouds and lush forest is so breathtaking I don’t mind. This is a 400-kilometer (250-mile), 16-hour round trip into the Andes from the town of San Antonio de los Cobres. You can buy the train ticket with the bus ride between Salta and San Antonio de los Cobres included, or via just the train. Consider buying just the train ticket so you can spend a little time checking out the Andean culture (and llamas) in San Antonio. As the train climbs to 4,200 meters (13,779 feet), you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views overlooking mountains, forests, and valleys. It only operates seasonally and on specific days of the week, so be sure to check the schedule before you go. The website only shows prices once you pick a date for the reservation.

2. Climb Cerro Aconcagua

At almost 7,000 meters tall (23,000 feet), Cerro Aconcagua is not only the country’s highest mountain but also the highest in the Western Hemisphere. This climb isn’t for the faint-hearted as it’s estimated to take a couple of weeks to acclimatize to the altitude and reach the summit. However, it’s a challenging hike, not a technical climb. Many hikers set their sights on part of the mountain, without risking the dangers of oxygen deprivation near the summit. If you love a challenge and are a practiced hiker, it’s an adventure worth considering! Due to the instability of the peso, many trekking companies post prices in USD. Guided summit hikes cost around $5,000 USD while an 8-day trek around the mountain (not to the summit but around the various camps) costs around $2,000 USD. The most popular option is a 4-day hike around the mountain, which costs $700 USD per person. Not into hiking? Nearby Los Horcones Lake is only 2,900 meters (9,514 feet) above sea level and a popular fishing destination.

3. Explore Valle de la Luna

Translated as “Valley of the Moon,” this dramatic landscape dates to the Triassic period. Winds and rain have carved the rocks into strange formations that give this place the look of a lunar landscape. Despite the arid conditions, the area is great for wildlife spotting as it’s home to foxes, owls, armadillos, condors, and guanacos. A wild cousin of the llama, guanacos will give your landscape photos a decidedly South American flair. The unique geological formations and fossil beds have earned its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Don’t miss the Museo de Sitio William Sill, built over impressive dinosaur fossils where you can watch archeologists at work.

The best way to explore the park is via a rental car. Once you have that, you can take the 25-mile circuit tour, stopping at five different points along the way, each one offering stunning sights and views of the park. The circuit should take approximately three hours. There are also hikes through the park. One of the most popular is the trek up to Cerro Morado, the tallest mountain in the park at nearly 1,900 meters (6,000 feet). The walk takes about three hours and, once at the top, offers wow-inducing views of the natural landscape below. Admission to the park is 5,000 ARS.

4. Hike on Perito Moreno Glacier

Located within the expansive Los Glaciares National Park is the impressive Perito Moreno glacier. At almost 4,570 meters (15,000 feet) wide and 61 meters (200 feet) tall, it’s one of the coolest sights I’ve ever seen. You can hike on the glacier (which is an epic experience) or walk on the metal platforms constructed a stone’s throw from the massive wall of ice. You’ll need a licensed guide, ropes, and crampons to hike on the glacier but you can take the bus from El Calafate and do the platform walk on your own. Boat rides to Perito Moreno get you even closer and can include other nearby glaciers like Spegazzini and Upsala. Depending on the season, a full-day tour including a boat ride costs around 99,000 ARS. Austral summer, from December to February, has higher prices.

5. Day trip to San Rafael

Located a few hours from Mendoza, this tiny little town is a wonderful place to see wineries. Try the local Malbecs and other reds that go perfectly with an Argentine asado. Like Mendoza, this is a great place to go on a bike ride through the picturesque vineyards. Don’t miss out on the nearby stunning Atuel Canyon, where you can go whitewater rafting in the summer. San Rafael is a charming little place to relax and slow down to enjoy the local pace of life. A bus from Mendoza to San Rafael costs 2,500 ARS for a one-way ticket.

6. Visit Ushuaia

Ushuaia is the most southerly city in the world and the largest city in Tierra del Fuego. This is a very popular town for travelers coming to the end of their South American journey, or for those traveling to Antarctica. This is the launch point for all Antarctica cruises, as the continent is only 1,100 kilometers (680 miles) away. Plan at least three days here to go hiking in the national park, walk among the penguins on Hammer Island, and try one of the local tea houses. The most popular is La Cabaña, at the foot of the Martial Glacier ski resort. If you’re there in winter, visit one of the three local ski resorts or go on a dog-sledding tour. Overall, it’s an adventure travel hub that deserves a few days before or after your other adventures.

7. Go whale watching

From June to December, whale watching season in Patagonia is at its peak as the whales make their way to the coast to mate. Whale watching is an expensive excursion, but it’s well worth it during migration time as you’re guaranteed to spot a few whales. The Valdes Peninsula is the best place to go on a tour. Only six companies are allowed to operate here so as not to disturb and overwhelm the whales. Expect to see orca, humpback, southern right whales, and blue whales. This is a remote area of Patagonia and the best place to stay nearby is Puerto Madryn. Due to the instability of the Argentine peso, most tour agencies post prices in US dollars. A full day wildlife and whale watching tour costs $145 USD.

8. Discover Quebrada de Humahuaca

The Quebrada de Humahuaca is a 155-kilometer-long (96 mile) valley carved out by the Rio Grande. The deep valley is covered in unique rock formations and has been populated for at least 10,000 years, making the area rich in ancient Incan history and culture. Visit the ancient Inca ruins at Tilcara and see just how much Andean culture still permeates the area. Explore the colonial streets and architecture of the tiny town of Humahuaca, with its bright orange mountain backdrop or walk around behind the mountain on an easy one-hour hike to see dramatic red and purple cliffs.

9. Visit Cajon del Azul

Located in El Bolson, a bohemian town near the Andes Mountains, The Blue Canyon boasts beautiful translucent turquoise waters flanked by rustic suspension bridges, alcoves, and cliffs. It’s a little more deserted than other nature reserves in Argentina, though it’s growing in popularity amongst climbers and fly fishers. If you go, it’s worth spending at least a few days in this area taking advantage of all the outdoor activities.

If you want to hike, there are a myriad of trails you can take, all of varying degrees of difficulty and length. The trails also have the most amount of refugios, or huts, than anywhere else in South America. This means you can plan a single-day trek or a multi-day hike, going from one hut to another for several days until you want to trek back to El Bolson. Before you head out on a hike, though, make sure you stop into the Mountaineering Information Office, or Oficina de Informes de Montañas, to get information about the hike you’re doing. It’s the best way to prepare for a trek here. There’s also a Tourist Information Office that should be helpful too.

10. See Casa Rosada

Dominating the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires is Casa Rosada, the Office of the President and arguably the city’s most notable landmark. The distinctive pink color is said to be due to the mixing of cows’ blood into the paint, to preserve the building. First Lady and labor activist Eva Perón (aka Evita) famously addressed crowds of workers from the building’s balcony (there’s a 1996 film starring Madonna based on her life).

Easily accessible on the city’s Subte metro system, the area around the Casa Rosada is worth visiting for its colonial architecture and famed masterpiece mural by Mexican artist David Alfaro Siquieros in the Casa Rosada Museum. There are, in all, 11,000 pieces of art in the museum. Admission is free but you must register and pick a time and date for your visit.

11. Stroll La Recoleta Cemetery

It might seem a bit morbid to visit a cemetery for pleasure, but Recoleta is one of the city’s most visited attractions. The cemetery is the final resting place of many of the city’s most notable citizens, including Eva Perón and the Paz family. Also worth seeing is the tomb of Rufina Cambaceres, who was tragically buried alive according to legends. It’s open daily from 8am-6pm. Afterwards, walk along Calle Vicente Lopez on the southwest side of the cemetery. It has become one of the hotspots in Buenos Aires for micro-breweries and is a great place to rest your feet after all the walking through the cemetery.

12. Discover San Ignacio Miní

Located in San Ignacio, these 17th-century mission ruins are the most complete in Argentina, with a significant amount of carved ornamentation still visible. Constructed in the Spanish Baroque style and heavily influenced by indigenous designs, the ruins are a beautiful and distinctive reddish color. The visitor center has a lot of background information on the fascinating history of the old mission, and the ruins have interactive panels for more information as well. San Ignacio is the perfect place to stop on your way to or from Iguazú, which is only four hours away. The town is on the Paraná River, near Posadas, where you can easily hop the border to Encarnación in Paraguay. Admission is 1,000 ARS.

13. Take a dip in the Termas de Colón

Located north of Buenos Aires not far from the border with Uruguay, the hot springs here have been a hot secret with in-the-know Porteños (people from BA), for many years. There are 10 different pools to choose from, each one a different temperature and health benefits. If you have kids the Termas de Colón also features kiddie pools and various water slides. The drive from Buenos Aires takes about four hours, making this either a very long day trip or a multi-day trip to the north to relax in the charming town of Colón.

14. Attend a fútbol match at La Bombonera

Visiting the legendary soccer stadium of Boca Junior, one of Buenos Aires’ two professional teams, in the La Boca district is a local experience you won’t want to miss. If they’re playing cross-town rivals, River Plate, even better, but if you’re in town during the soccer season, go to see La Boca playing any team. It’s a lively and sometimes crazy experience. Expect to spend a couple hundred dollars on tickets if you want to see a match. There are also tours of the stadium available too, though those also aren’t cheap at around 82,000 ARS.

15. Browse for books at a world-class bookstore

In Buenos Aires’ Barrio Norte, you’ll find El Ateneo Grand Splendid. Housed in an old theater from 1919, this bookshop has plenty of remnants left over from its days in the performing arts, such as murals on the walls and ceilings, and even balconies. The books on the shelves are mostly in Spanish, though there’s a small English-language section. That said, shopping for a good read here is not really the point. Just stroll around and admire the high ceilings and ornate design of the place. It’s one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world.

Argentina Travel Costs

Colorful houses along a waterfront lined with docks in the village of Ushuaia, the southernmost city in Argentina

Accommodation – Hostels are widespread throughout the country. Expect to pay 15,000-30,000 ARS for a 6-8-bed dorm room in Buenos Aires, depending on the neighborhood. In smaller towns like Mendoza, expect to pay 8,000-20,000 ARS depending on amenities. Private rooms in a hostel with a shared bath are generally double the price of dorm rooms, costing 20,000-50,000 ARS per night.

Free Wi-Fi is standard and most hostels also have self-catering facilities.

Hotels cost 40,000-60,000 ARS and always include free Wi-Fi, though other perks are generally pretty limited. At a two- or three-star hotel in Argentina you can expect TV (sometimes with international channels), daily housekeeping, bathroom toiletries, and, in some cases, an in-house restaurant, to varying degrees of quality.

Airbnb no longer posts prices in Argentine pesos, but averages $20-$50 USD per night for a private room and $30-$80 for an entire apartment.

Camping is widespread all around the country (including the world-famous Patagonia region), especially near the national parks. Expect to pay around 12,000 ARS for a basic plot for two without electricity.

Food – Argentine food is a mix of Mediterranean influences: first from Spanish colonizers, and later European immigrants in the 19th and 20th centuries, especially from Italy and Spain. Empanadas, pizza, polenta, and pasta all heavily feature in Argentine cuisine.

Argentines are famous for their asado (barbeque) and tremendous consumption of beef, especially steak and ribs. Tomatoes, onions, lettuce, eggplants, squashes, and zucchini are the most common vegetables. Dulce de leche , a caramel sauce made from condensed milk, is a popular sweet.

Yerba mate is the favorite national drink. It’s a caffeinated herbal drink that is prepared in a traditional gourd. It is consumed in social settings by passing around the gourd and its accompanying metal straw.

Overall, food is fairly expensive in Argentina, especially in popular resort and outdoor adventure towns. Take advantage of eating breakfast and lunch specials to get the most out of your money. Breakfast deals go for 1,000-2,000 and usually consist of a coffee and two media lunas, which are like a bready croissant.

Lunch specials vary greatly but are generally around 3,500-4,000 ARS. Meals at a cheap cafe begin at around 2,000-3,000 ARS for a light lunch of a sandwich or salad.

In terms of street food, empanada, choripán (sausage on bread) stands, and local hole-in-the-wall burger and pizza shops are economical and tasty. Empanadas go for around 700 ARS each, choripán for 1000 ARS, and fast food pizza or burgers for around 1500-2000 ARS. Fast food (think Mcdonald’s) is around 2,000 ARS for a combo meal.

In major cities, a dish at a Chinese takeout restaurant is around 8,000 ARS, while a dish at a sit-down Indian restaurant is around 8,000-12,000.

At a nice traditional Argentinian steakhouse, expect to pay 20,000-25,000 ARS for a good steak and wine. At more casual restaurants, steaks cost around 10,000-15,000 ARS, while vegetable-based pasta dishes cost 7,000-8,000 ARS.

In terms of drinks, beer is around 3,000 ARS while a glass of wine is also 3,000 ARS. A cocktail is around 4,000-5,000 ARS and a cappuccino is 3,000 ARS.

If you’re going to grocery shop, expect to spend about 25,000-35,000 ARS per week for groceries, including bottles of wine. This gets you basic staples like rice, beans, pasta, seasonal produce, and some meat.

Backpacking Argentina Suggested Budgets

On a backpacker’s budget, expect to spend at least 31,500 ARS per day. On this suggested budget, you’re staying in a hostel dorm, eating out at the cheap food stalls, cooking most of your meals, using public transportation, limiting your drinking, and doing mostly free activities like hiking and taking free walking tours.

On a mid-range budget of at least 70,000 ARS per day, you can stay in an Airbnb, hotel, or private hostel room, enjoy a few drinks and eat out more, take the occasional taxi, and do whatever tours and activities you want, such as wine tours and dance lessons.

On an upscale budget of at least 135,000 ARS per day, you can stay in a hotel, eat out for all your meals, drink more, go hiking in Patagonia, fly between cities, and do whatever else you want to do. This is just the ground floor for luxury though. The sky is the limit!

You can use the chart below to get an idea of how much you need to budget daily, depending on your travel style. Keep in mind these are daily averages — some days you’ll spend more, some days you’ll spend less (you might spend less every day). We just want to give you a general idea of how to make your budget. Prices are in ARS.

Argentina Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

While Argentina’s hyperinflation works in most travelers’ favor, it makes certain things in this country more expensive. Tours, food, and alcohol add up quite a bit. There’s a lot of price instability in the country. Here are a few hacks to cut down your costs and not let inflation ruin your fun:

Use discount cards – Student and teacher discounts can get you incredible savings. You can also use the La Nacion Club and La Nacion Premium Club Cards, associated with La Nacion Newspaper, for discounts. Every week, the La Nacion Club Card website lists participating establishments that give discounts to cardmembers. This is good for travelers spending a long time in the country as you have to sign up for the newspaper.
Hitchhike – While not common in the north of the country, if you’re in Patagonia, you’ll see many locals and tourists alike hitchhiking, as long-distance buses in that part of the country can be very expensive and infrequent. It’s simply more convenient to hitchhike. This common way to get around is highly recommended.
Travel off-season – March-June and September-November are the low season when you can find cheaper accommodations and enjoy fewer crowds at attractions.
Find the cheap eats – Empanada, choripán (sausage on bread) stands, and local hole-in-the-wall burger and pizza shops are your best options for cheap eats. It’s not the healthiest food, but it’s economical and tasty!
Rent a bike – You can rent bicycles from hostels and rental shops for around 12,00 ARS per day in most major cities. This is especially useful when you’re in Mendoza’s wine country and you’re trying to get from winery to winery.
Bring a tent – As you start to travel south to Patagonia, accommodation costs get expensive. Hostels are often 20,000 ARS or more a night here (as opposed to as cheap as 10,000 ARS a night in Buenos Aires). Look for camping opportunities as often as possible. When you aren’t in the national parks (where you can obviously camp), many hostels let you pitch your tent for a small fee.
Stick to wine – 2,000 ARS bottles of wine in the supermarket is a phenomenal deal. Grab a bottle, drink it up. It’s really good too!
Pack a water bottle – The tap water here is generally safe to drink so bring a water bottle with a filter to save money and reduce your single-use plastic usage. My preferred bottle is LifeStraw as it has a built-in filter to ensure your water is always clean and safe.
Explore the outdoors – Hiking is free, and throughout the country, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to enjoy this and other outdoor activities since Argentina is blessed with many city parks and nature reserves where you can spend the day wandering around and relaxing. (And, of course, there are a plethora of national parks where you can do multi-day treks!).
Don’t fly domestically – Thanks to a tax on foreigners, airfare in Argentina for non-residents is quite expensive. Unless you are in a rush, don’t fly. Take the overnight buses. It’s slower but affordable (and often a lot more comfortable).
Dance for free – If you find yourself in Buenos Aires on a Sunday, you can find free tango events in San Telmo. (On Monday nights, there’s the famous La Bomba de Tiempo, a music and dance event that is well worth the minimal price for admission.)
Take a free walking tour – There are a number of free walking tours in major cities. They are the best way to get the lay of the land on a budget and connect with a local guide. Just remember to tip your guide at the end. Two companies to try out in the capital city are Buenos Aires Free Tour and Free Walks Buenos Aires.

How to Get Around Argentina

A vintage bus drives along a road against a dramatic mountainous backdrop in Argentina

Public transportation – Buenos Aires is the only city in Argentina with a subway system (the Subte). The subway runs from 5:30am-11:30pm on weekdays, 6am-midnight on Saturdays, and 8am-10:30pm on Sundays.

Public buses are the most common way to travel within the cities. In Buenos Aires, a one-way fare is around 1,000 ARS per trip. In Mendoza, fares start at 800 ARS.

In Buenos Aires, Mendoza, and Mar del Plata you need a transit card to use the public transit, while smaller areas take cash. You can find these cards at kiosks all over the place.

Taxis – Taxis are very affordable in Argentina. Prices start around 500 ARS and go up by around 300 ARS per kilometer. That said, public transportation can usually get you anywhere you need to be so you can likely skip the taxis here.

Buses – Argentina boasts an outstanding short and long-distance bus network. It is common to have food served on board as well as Wi-Fi and alcohol on long-distance buses. For example, the ride from Buenos Aires to Mendoza takes about 14.5 hours and tickets begin at 10,000 ARS. A 10-hour trip from Bariloche to El Calafate (in Patagonia) starts from 20,000 ARS, while the bus from Buenos Aires to El Calafate is 50,000 ARS.

A “shorter” journey like Mendoza to Salta in 7 hours costs about 35,000 ARS. You can take the overnight bus and then save on accommodation since you’ll be sleeping on the bus.

To find bus routes and prices, use BusBud .

Flying – Flying around South America isn’t very cheap, and Argentina is no exception as fares are taxed highly for foreigners (it subsidizes cheap fares for residents). However, it might be worth it for you if you’re short on time as those 14-hour bus rides are not an efficient way to travel. Argentina’s two most popular airlines are Aerolíneas Argentinas (the domestic carrier) and LATAM.

You can fly from Buenos Aires to El Calafate for 340,000 ARS return, or Buenos Aires to Bariloche for 190,000 ARS return. You’ll get better deals the further out that you book your tickets.

Train – Argentina’s rail system only goes to three places: Buenos Aires, Cordoba, and Rosario. The train from Buenos Aires to Cordoba costs about 28,400 ARS. There are also train journeys aimed specifically at travelers, like the epic Train to the Clouds that begins in Salta and passes through the Andres. It’s one of the highest railways in the world. There’s also La Trochita, the Old Patagonian Express between Esquel and El Maiten for 30,000 ARS.

Hitchhike – Argentina is easy and safe for hitchhikers. You can find rides throughout the country, and Argentines are naturally curious about foreigners. There’s a good chance you’ll end up crammed into a car with an entire family! Hitchwiki has information on hitchhiking in Argentina if you want to give it a try.

When to Go to Argentina

Argentina is enormous. The best time of year to visit entirely depends on what regions you plan on traveling around.

Argentina’s spring is from September to November. This is one of the best times to visit overall (although it’s still very cold in Patagonia). Average temperatures range from 14°C (57°F) in the center, 8-14°C (46-57°F) in Patagonia, and about 20°C (68°F) in the north.

Summer is from December to February. This is the best season for spending time in the Andean mountains. It’s also the best time to travel to Tierra del Fuego, although there still might be snow. The north is a lot warmer, and Buenos Aires can get hot and sticky. Temperatures can get as high as 26°C (79°F).

Autumn (March-April) is another great time to visit, especially in the San Juan and Mendoza regions for the wine harvests. Temperatures here are 6-14°C (42-58°F). Patagonia is stunning this time of year with its bright autumn colors as well.

Winter is from June to August when temperatures dip to 8–13°C (46–55°F). This is the ideal time to visit if you’re a skier hoping to hit up the ski resorts. It’s not a great time for visiting Patagonia, however; bad weather can leave you stranded, and a lot of places are closed from Easter to October.

How to Stay Safe in Argentina

Argentina is a safe place to backpack and travel. While violent crime here is rare, petty theft and pickpocketing is on the rise so you’ll need to be vigilant. Don’t flaunt expensive jewelry or belongings while you’re out and about and always keep your wallet secure and out of reach. Cell phone theft is incredibly common and thieves sometimes literally snatch the phone right from your hand in broad daylight so be on guard and never bring your phone out in public. If you need to use it, step inside a shop just to be safe.

If taking an overnight bus, lock your bag and make sure your valuables are secure. If you rent a car, always keep it locked and never store anything in it overnight as break-ins can occur.

Female travelers should generally feel safe here, however, the standard precautions apply (don’t walk around at night intoxicated, never leave your drink unattended at the bar, etc.). Whenever possible, avoid walking around at night (especially if you’re alone). Even during the day, it’s best to walk around in groups when you can as you’ll be less of a target that way. If you’re carrying a purse, wear it across your chest so it can’t easily be snatched (a backpack is a better/safer choice, though).

When taking out money from an ATM, make sure to use a machine inside the bank so that you can safely access your money without prying eyes or people ready to rob you.

Scams here are rare, but they can occur. To avoid getting ripped off, read about common travel scams to avoid here .

Always check the weather before you go hiking and make sure you dress appropriately and bring enough water.

If you experience an emergency, dial 911 for assistance.

Always trust your gut instinct. Make copies of your personal documents, including your passport and ID.

The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. You can use the widget below to find the policy right for you:
