## Port highlights

- Population: A huge metropolitan area: about 3 million in the city proper and about 15 million across the metropolitan area
- Climate: A warm, humid climate with four distinct seasons. Summer (December to February) is hot and humid during the day, while winter (June to August) is cool during the day and can be cold in the morning, but snowfall is rare. Rainfall is distributed throughout the year.
- Language: Spanish (English is often understood at tourist facilities)
- Currency: Argentine peso (ARS). Exchange rates fluctuate easily, so pay attention to exchange rates and to when to use cash or cards.
- Best time to visit: October to December and March to April. The heat eases, and early spring, when the jacarandas bloom, is especially pleasant for walking around the city.
