# What should I pack for winter?

[Home](https://allaboutbuenosaires.com) | [Docs](https://allaboutbuenosaires.com/docs/) | [Practical Tips](https://allaboutbuenosaires.com/docs-category/practical-tips/)

Here’s a packing guide for visiting Buenos Aires in winter ([June to August](https://www.steppestravel.com/best-time-to-visit/argentina/#:~:text=Spend%20time%20with%20the%20gauchos,low%20season)), when the weather is mild to cool but rarely freezing:

## Clothing

- Light to medium jackets and sweaters for daytime (highs around 15–17°C / 59–63°F).
- Long-sleeve shirts and pants for layering.
- A warmer coat or jacket for evenings and windy days (nights can drop to 7–8°C / 45–46°F).
- Scarves, hats, and gloves if you’re sensitive to cooler temperatures.
- Comfortable walking shoes; waterproof shoes can be useful if it rains.

## Accessories

- Umbrella or lightweight raincoat — winter can bring occasional showers.
- Sunglasses — sunny winter days are common.
- Daypack for carrying layers and personal items while exploring.

## Evening & Nightlife

- Smart casual outfits if you plan to visit theaters, tango shows, or upscale restaurants.
- Closed-toe shoes for indoor venues and cobblestone streets.

## Health & Safety Items

- Moisturizer and lip balm — the cooler, drier winter air can be harsh on skin.
- Reusable water bottle to stay hydrated indoors and outdoors.

## Tech & Travel Essentials

- [Power adapter for Argentina’s 220V plugs](https://allaboutbuenosaires.com/docs/whats-the-power-voltage-and-plug-type-in-argentina/) (Type C or I).
- Phone, charger, power bank, and camera for sightseeing.
- Copies of passport, tickets, and hotel confirmations.

Winter in [Buenos Aires](https://allaboutbuenosaires.com/best-places-to-stay-in-buenos-aires/) is mild compared to many Northern Hemisphere cities, but layering is key, especially for evenings and windy riverfront areas.
