Ushuaia is a compact, walkable city, though plenty of taxis are available. Several car hire outlets have offices at the airport; they don't allow you to take vehicles out of Argentina. The Tren del Fin del Mundo (End of World Train) is a fun experience, but not practical for getting from A to B.
2 days is enough to explore central Ushuaia but I recommend allowing yourself at least 5 if you plan on hiking in Parque Nacional Tierra Del Fuego or taking a boat trip to explore the islands of the Beagle Channel.
In larger towns and cities the locals tend to drink the tap water. But it has a high mineral content which can cause upset stomachs in travelers who aren't used to it. It is therefore safer to stick with bottled water. When travelling outside the larger settlements then you should avoid drinking the tap water at all.
Planning Your VisitAim to spend a minimum of three days in Ushuaia: this allows you a day in the national park, a half-day cruise on the Beagle Channel and a day looking around the city's various museums. If you want to do some winter sports or explore further afield, a 6-day stay is preferable.
Ushuaia is generally safe for solo female travellers. The city is well-policed and has a low crime rate. It is also a popular tourist destination, so there are plenty of people around to help if needed.
The first thing is to wear a T-shirt and thermal fit (also known as second skin), that keeps you warm and dry. For warming up, divers and coats of fleece and cotton are advised. In the event of an adventure over snow, it's crucial having thermal underwear to help you maintain a pleasant temperature in your legs.
So, is Ushuaia worth visiting? Yes, absolutely. It´s a wonderful city. Furthermore, it is also perfect to be combined with El Calafate from where you can visit the incredible Perito Moreno Glacier and many other glaciers in Los Glaciares National Park, and then continue to Chile to visit Torres del Paine.
Tickets to Ushuaïa Ibiza can vary between 35€ and 90€ depending on the party, the guest artist, the entrance time to the disco or the moment you buy the ticket. Buying tickets at the door is always more expensive than online, so we recommend buying in advanced to save up.
If you are on an international trip and need to book an Uber, you're in luck—as long as the service is available in the country you are visiting, using Uber is just as simple as using it at home.
