Traveling in Ushuaia

Ushuaia is a city on the Tierra del Fuego island of Argentina on the Beagle Strait. The city is considered to be one of the southernmost cities in the world and is often used as a base for cruises to Antarctica. Ushuaia's close proximity to Antarctica and their amazing hiking trails have made it a popular tourist destination over the past few decades.
Although Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world, it doesn't get all that warm. During summer, from November through February, temperatures tend to stay around 50° Fahrenheit. March through October tend to get colder, with temperatures between 15-20 degrees. Ushuaia does experience a Patagonian climate, meaning they get very strong winds that often add a big wind chill factor.

Neighborhoods & Around
Ushuaia is a fairly small town, with the city center being the place where you'll find the major tourist attractions, accommodations, and restaurants. Maipu Street is where you'll find a few tour companies, such as Double Decker Ushuaia which has exclusive contracts with some areas of the city so you end up getting a great, in depth, tour of the city! Another interesting area to explore is the naval neighborhood located west of the city center. This is where the Argentina Navy, and some missionaries, were based and where you'll find beautiful remnants of their architecture.
Outside of the city center, you'll find the Tierra del Fuego National Park and the Martial Glacier. There are a couple of restaurants and accommodations at the glacier and just outside of the park.
