About La Plata
The essentials for planning your trip
La Plata can be seen in a day trip from Buenos Aires (an hour by car or train): the neo-Gothic Cathedral and the checkerboard urban layout with diagonal avenues, unique in the world, shape the visit. September-November brings mild weather ahead of the humid summer heat. It's cheaper than Buenos Aires for lodging and food. It was designed from scratch in 1882 as a planned city, with a perfectly geometric grid of numbered streets and diagonals that sets it apart from any other Argentine city, and its Cathedral is one of South America's largest.
