About LGBTQ+ Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is one of Latin America's leading gay cities, with Palermo, and its Soho and Hollywood sub-areas, holding the densest concentration of bars, clubs, and queer-friendly spaces. The club scene is anchored by Amerika, one of the region's biggest, alongside drag-driven nights at Club 69. The Marcha del Orgullo takes place in November, running from Congreso to Plaza de Mayo, one of the largest Pride events in the region. Argentina passed marriage equality in 2010, and the capital pairs its late nightlife with tango, cafes, and a walkable, European feel.
