WINTER IN BUENOS AIRES (By Hostel Buenos Aires)


Winter in Buenos Aires starts today and until the end of September -when spring arrives- you can enjoy the coldest season in our city. Winter is the perfect time for visiting some of the many great museums of Buenos Aires, to know the traditional Porteño cafés, to enjoy some of the thousands of shows in the city which counts with more theaters per square meter in the world, or just to wrap up warm and walk by the streets of Buenos Aires.

The first thing you have to consider if you are to visit our city in the winter season is sunlight. Today, June 21st., is the day with less sunlight in the whole year (sun rises at 8AM and sets at 6PM, aproximately). From this day on, sunlight will be gaining some minutes a day, but it's best to wake up early in the morning if you are planning to enjoy the day.

As mentioned before, it's also important to carry warm clothes. The best way to warm up is the "layer-system" that allows you to put on or take off your garments according to the temperature outside or indoors. The average temperatures throughout the winter are between 3ºC and 15ºC (35ºF and 60ºF). There's no heating in the public transportation, but you'll find it in cinemas, theaters, museums, pubs, restaurants and every indoor place.

Rains are common near the seasonal changes (end of June and September). During July and August, climate tends to stabilize in cold sunny or partially cloudy days. Cold wind is also something to be aware of. You might prefer to use a scarf to prevent yourself from respiratory ilnesses that have their own season during these months. Winter arrived to Buenos Aires and Hostel Colonial is ready to warmly receive you for an unforgettable journey.
