What you gain in April

↑BAFICI (Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema, usually April) — one of the world's great independent film festivals, with screenings across the city at venues from Palermo to San Telmo; an authentically Buenos Aires cultural event of serious quality
↑Perfect weather: 23°C average, low humidity, and manageable afternoon showers; the city's boulevards, parks, and outdoor café terraces are at their most inviting
↑The city is fully operational and local-feeling without the tourist intensity of October–November; excellent restaurant bookings available without months-ahead planning

What you sacrifice

↓90mm of rain across April means occasional days of grey and shower; it is by no means a dry month, and an umbrella is essential
↓Slightly fewer major international visitors than the spring months (September–November), meaning some cultural events are locally-oriented and harder to access without Spanish
↓Days are shortening as autumn progresses; golden hour comes earlier and the long evening light of spring and summer is gone
