Argentina's Best Cities for Expats
From the cosmopolitan energy of Buenos Aires to the wine country charm of Mendoza, explore the cities where expats are building their new lives in Argentina.

Buenos Aires
The Paris of South America. Argentina's pulsating capital offers world-class culture, dining, and nightlife with the largest expat community in the country.

Córdoba
Argentina's university city and emerging tech hub. Young energy, affordable living, and stunning sierras make it the best-value big city in the country.

El Calafate
Gateway to the Perito Moreno glacier and Los Glaciares National Park. A Patagonian frontier town where the ice age is still happening in real time.

La Plata
Argentina's 'planned city' — a perfectly geometric university town just 60 km from Buenos Aires with stunning architecture, student energy, and half the cost of the capital.

Mar del Plata
Argentina's Atlantic beach city — surfing, seafood, and a year-round urban beach lifestyle just 4 hours from Buenos Aires. The 'Happy City' lives up to its name.

Mendoza
Wine country paradise at the foot of the Andes. World-class Malbec, outdoor adventures, and 300 days of sunshine make this South America's answer to Napa Valley.

Puerto Madryn
Whale watching capital of Argentina. The gateway to Península Valdés where southern right whales, orcas, penguins, and elephant seals congregate in stunning numbers.

Rosario
Argentina's third city — birthplace of the flag, Che Guevara, and Messi. A river city with a growing cosmopolitan scene, great food, and BA vibes at half the price.

Salta
Salta la Linda — colonial charm, desert landscapes, world-famous empanadas, and the most affordable city living in Argentina. The Northwest's crown jewel.

San Carlos de Bariloche
The 'Switzerland of South America.' Crystal-clear lakes, snow-capped peaks, artisan chocolate, and world-class skiing in the heart of Patagonia's Lake District.

San Martín de los Andes
The quieter Bariloche — a charming Patagonian mountain town on Lago Lácar with world-class skiing, hiking, and fly fishing, minus the tourist crowds.

San Miguel de Tucumán
The Garden of the Republic — where Argentine independence was born. Lush, historic, and ultra-affordable with strong university culture and authentic Northwest flavors.

Ushuaia
The End of the World. The planet's southernmost city, gateway to Antarctica, with dramatic mountains, glaciers, and a frontier spirit that defines Patagonia.
