Essentials

City
Mendoza (Ciudad de Mendoza), capital of Mendoza Province, Argentina, on the eastern side of the Andes. Pedro del Castillo founded it on 2 March 1561. 1
Population
The 2022 census counted 127,149 people in Departamento Capital. On a private-household basis the Mendoza locality was 123,516 and Gran Mendoza was 1,056,893. Wikipedia still prints the 2010 city figure of 115,041. 1 2 3
Internet Speed
Ookla median for Argentina in September 2026 was 223.43 Mbps fixed and 158.79 Mbps mobile. The page has no Mendoza-only figure. Personal Fibra 300 MB in Mendoza is ARS 19,000 a month against a list price of ARS 91,860. 4 5
Currency & Banking
Argentine peso (ARS). This run uses the country-prep rate of ARS 1,518 per US dollar (BCRA Comunicación A 3500, fx_date 2026-10-19). 6
Tap Water
AYSAM treats and monitors potable water for Gran Mendoza. Its February 2026 bacteriological report marked most city zones Normal. CDC still tells travellers to choose safe food and water and to avoid water they are not sure is safe. 11 12 13
Power
220 V, 50 Hz. Sockets mix Type C (Europlug) and Type I (IRAM-2073, Australian-style blades). On the Australian-style sockets the live and neutral pins are reversed relative to Australia. 10
SIM Card
Personal, Movistar and Claro cover the city. A Personal recharge from ARS 9,000 includes 2 GB for 30 days plus WhatsApp. Tourist chips are sold at Personal branches, shopping-centre shops and authorised kiosks; activation needs a passport or DNI, and tourist recharges start at ARS 4,000. eSIM is issued at a commercial office or by WhatsApp. 7 8
Banking for Expats
Chains take cards. A Personal prepaid line activates with a passport or DNI. A named Mendoza bank account for new arrivals was not confirmed on a page opened today. 8 10
Accommodation
The usual base is between Plaza Independencia and Parque San Martín, with Arístides Villanueva for restaurants. Wikivoyage says short-term apartments are harder to arrange than in Buenos Aires. 9
Cashless Friendly
Major chains take cards. City buses take a SUBE card or a contactless bank card. A tip of about 10% is still paid in cash when the bill has no cubierto. 9 10
Short Term Rentals
Wikivoyage says the short-term apartment market is thinner than in Buenos Aires and warns against paying a deposit before you see the flat. 9
Budget Accommodation
Gorilla Hostel is at Martín Zapata 155 (the older note said 175). A dorm price was not on a page opened today. Wikivoyage lists Hotel Mayo at about ARS 45,000 for a double, cash, updated March 2026. 9 61
Best Area to Stay for Tourists
Between Plaza Independencia and Parque San Martín, with Arístides Villanueva for meals. The bus terminal is about 2 km east; Wikivoyage says the walk from it is a poor idea at night. 9
Best Area to Stay for Digital Nomads
Arístides Villanueva, for Tent Cowork at number 430 and the bars. Chacras de Coria, in Luján de Cuyo, is the quieter vineyard alternative. A claim that Chacras has better home fibre was not checked. 9 15

Working and Networking

Best Coworking Space
Tent Cowork, Av. Arístides Villanueva 430: ARS 2,200 an hour with a 10-hour minimum, or ARS 170,000 a month for unlimited access and a dedicated desk, with coffee. That month matches the city cost file (about USD 112 at the prep rate). The site also mentions member events. 15
Best Cafe for Work
Bröd Cafe, Chile 894, in the centre near Teatro Independencia. A current wifi or laptop-policy page was not found. 60
Networking Events
Tent Cowork, Av. Arístides Villanueva 430, says it holds community events for people working there. A separate tech-meetup venue was not confirmed. 15
Social Events for Expats
During Vendimia, Wikivoyage describes an evening promenade on Arístides Villanueva. Intercultural, the largest Spanish school named in the guide, is at República de Siria 241 and runs afternoon activities. A current meetup calendar was not on that page. 1 9 58

Transportation

Best Taxi/Ride App
Uber works in the city and is often easier than a street taxi. EMOP daytime taxi flag drop is ARS 1,724, with a ARS 91 ficha; a remis flag drop is ARS 1,775, with a ARS 102 ficha. 9 14
Bike/Scooter Rental
biciTRAN, the provincial shared-bike system, had 555 bikes and 90 stations in Gran Mendoza in June 2026. Rides start in the biciTRAN app. A 3 June 2026 report priced one hour at ARS 1,400, then equal to the bus fare. The biciTRAN site showed no fare, and the EMOP bus fare on this check is ARS 1,680. Wikivoyage also describes ordinary bike hire for the Maipú winery route. 9 17 18 19
Best Beach Nearby
There is no sea beach. Embalse Potrerillos, in Luján de Cuyo and Las Heras, is the reservoir on the Andean side of the city. Wikivoyage points rafting companies there. 9 57
Top Regional Airline
Aerolíneas Argentinas and JetSmart fly to Buenos Aires from Aeropuerto Internacional Gobernador Francisco Gabrielli (El Plumerillo), in Las Heras. Flybondi has stopped selling tickets from Mendoza. Diario UNO on 6 October 2026 reported no Flybondi arrivals or departures, and Wikivoyage Argentina says the airline ceased operating in August 2026. 1 9 10 22 56
Top International Airline
LATAM and Aerolíneas Argentinas fly to Santiago from El Plumerillo. The bus over the Andes is the cheaper way; the pass can close for a few days after heavy snow, usually from late May. 9 56
Highway Access
Ruta Nacional 7 runs through Mendoza toward Buenos Aires (1,037 km, about 14 hours by bus) and Santiago (380 km). Parque Provincial Aconcagua is on RN7, 185 km from the city. 1 9 36
Main Train/Transit Hub
Estación Terminal Mendoza, Av. Gobernador Ricardo Videla, is the long-distance bus station, about 2 km east of the centre. The Metrotranvía runs about 17 km from Estación Gutiérrez in Maipú to Parador Avellaneda in Las Heras, through Godoy Cruz and the city, and stops at the old Mendoza railway station near the centre. 1 9 16
Public Transport Passes
Buses take a SUBE card or a contactless bank card. EMOP lists a general urban fare of ARS 1,680 and does not sell a flat monthly pass. Wikivoyage in May 2026 still had a single ticket at ARS 1,200 and a free second bus within 90 minutes. The operator fare is the one to use. 9 14
Regional Travel
From the bus terminal, San Juan is about 2 hours, Santiago about 7 to 9 hours once the border is included, Córdoba about 10 hours, and Buenos Aires about 13 to 17 hours. Andesmar and CATA run a daily bus to Bariloche, about 18 hours, including in winter. 9

Health and Wellness

Best Hospital
Hospital Español, Av. San Martín 965, Godoy Cruz, has a 24-hour adult, paediatric and trauma emergency department. It is a private hospital in the next department. Public hospitals bill foreign visitors in transit and with precarious residence, and do not refuse emergencies. The national emergency number is 911. 20 21 45
Gyms & Fitness Centers
A September 2025 survey of Las Heras, the city, Godoy Cruz and Guaymallén found monthly fees from ARS 33,000 to ARS 60,000. A single club tariff page was not opened. 40
Laundry Services
Laverap has a shop at Jorge Alberto Calle 240. A per-kilo price was not on a page opened today. 64

Food and Drink

Best Food Delivery App
PedidosYa has a Mendoza restaurant page. An automated check blocked the listing, so no delivery fee is quoted. 43
Best Local Dish to Try
Asado at a parrilla, with a bottle of Mendoza Malbec. Wikivoyage names the Malbecs of Maipú and Luján de Cuyo. Kitchens on a weekday open around 21:00. 9
Best Dessert Spots
Famiglia Perin, Av. Sarmiento 799, has made gelato on that corner since 1947. 41
Affordable Shopping Spots
The same wine is usually cheaper in a supermarket than in a tasting shop. Wikivoyage also points to leather shops on Avenida Las Heras and outdoor kit on Juan B. Justo near Belgrano. 9
E-commerce/Online Store
Mercado Libre is the main marketplace. The home page offers free shipping on a first purchase and payment by card, debit or cash. 44
Bar/Nightlife Area
Avenida Arístides Villanueva, from Belgrano to Parque San Martín, is the restaurant and bar strip. On Friday and Saturday, dining often starts after 23:00. 9
Local Brewery
OpenStreetMap places CHACHINGO in Rodeo del Medio, Maipú. A bar at Arístides Villanueva 383, and a current tap list, were not confirmed. 59
Wine Bars
Tastings are at the bodegas. Bodega Argentia, Boedo 271, a short walk from Gutiérrez station on the Metrotranvía, lists a meal for two at ARS 73,500 (2026). Wikivoyage also names Bodega López near that station. A city tasting room with a current list was not confirmed. 9 16
Street Food Stalls
Plaza festivals set up booths that sell food. A named cart and a current street price were not confirmed. 9
Popular International Cuisine
La Barca, Espejo 120, between España and 9 de Julio, serves homemade pasta in the centre. 9

Annual Events
Fiesta Nacional de la Vendimia 2027. The culture resolution sets the central show and the second night for 6 and 7 March 2027 at Teatro Griego Frank Romero Day, in Parque San Martín. The published calendar also lists Vía Blanca de las Reinas on Friday 5 March and the Carrusel on Saturday 6 March. 34 35 51

Nature and Outdoor Activities

Nearby Nature Escapes
Parque General San Martín. Wikivoyage says residents claim 420 hectares and call it the largest city park in South America. Cerro de la Gloria is inside the park. That size claim was not checked against a parks brochure. 9 47 52
National Parks Nearby
The high mountain next to the city is Parque Provincial Aconcagua, not a national park: Ruta Nacional 7, 185 km, summit 6,962 m, summer season 1 November to 30 April. The nearest national park on an official distance table is Parque Nacional El Leoncito, in San Juan, 219 km via RN7 to Uspallata and then RN149. Do not use RN153; the parks page says that stretch is closed. 36 37
Cycling/Walking Paths
Wikivoyage calls the cycle-lane network one of the best in the country after Buenos Aires and Córdoba, and describes bike hire for the Maipú bodega route. biciTRAN covers short hops in Gran Mendoza. A path climbs to Cerro de la Gloria inside Parque San Martín. 9 17
Scenic Viewpoints
Cerro de la Gloria, especially near sunset, and the mirador at El Challao, the end of the bus line for the Cerro Arco hike. 9 47
Bonfire-Friendly Spots
Termas de Cacheuta, about an hour from the city, has free grills for visitors who bring food. A legal public bonfire in the centre was not found. 9

Casino & Gaming Halls
Regency Casino Mendoza is inside Park Hyatt Mendoza, Chile 1124, on Plaza Independencia. 9 49

Business

Studio Purchase Price (City Center)
InmoUP September 2026 asking median for apartments in Capital was USD 1,216 per m², not a closed-sale price and not split by number of rooms. A 40 m² studio at that median is about USD 48,640. 23
Studio Purchase Price (Outside City)
Las Heras, the cheapest of the six departments with a large sample, was USD 829 per m² for apartments in September 2026. A 40 m² studio is about USD 33,160. Luján de Cuyo was dearer than Capital, at USD 1,415 per m², so outside the city is not always cheaper. 23
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)
Capital apartments were USD 1,216 per m² in the September 2026 InmoUP asking median. A 60 m² one-bedroom is about USD 72,960. 23
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (Outside City)
Las Heras apartments were USD 829 per m² in September 2026. A 60 m² one-bedroom is about USD 49,740. 23
2-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)
Capital apartments were USD 1,216 per m² in the September 2026 InmoUP asking median. An 80 m² two-bedroom is about USD 97,280. 23
2-Bedroom Purchase Price (Outside City)
Las Heras apartments were USD 829 per m² in September 2026. An 80 m² two-bedroom is about USD 66,320. 23
Corporate Tax
Progressive on 2026 indexed bands: 25% up to ARS 133,514,185.74, 30% to ARS 1,335,141,857.38, and 35% above that. 28
Dividend Withholding Tax
7% on dividends and on branch-profit remittances, for profits from 2018 onward. 28
Tax System
Residents are taxed on worldwide income. Non-residents are taxed on Argentine-source income only. 29
Highest Income Tax Bracket
35%. 29
VAT
21% standard IVA. A 10.5% rate covers some listed items, and 27% covers some utility services billed to property that is not a dwelling. 30
Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) Rules
Yes. Residents are taxed currently on passive income of a controlled foreign company when they hold a controlling interest, more than half of that income is passive, and the foreign tax is under 75% of the Argentine corporate rate. 31
Property Tax
Yes. For 2026, ATM Impuesto Inmobiliario on urban property starts at 0.70% of the fiscal valuation up to ARS 6,235,000 and reaches 1.70% above ARS 290,000,000, with a minimum of ARS 43,645. The City of Mendoza also charges a monthly property-services rate of 58.62 per thousand of the municipal valuation. 24 27
Property Transaction Tax
Impuesto de Sellos on a transfer of real estate in Mendoza is 2% in 2026 (Ley Impositiva, article 7), falling to 1.75% in 2027. The ATM FAQ still prints 2.5%. 25 26
Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads
No. The nómada digital stay is a transitory residence of up to 180 days, extendable once, for remote work for clients abroad, and only for nationals who do not need a tourist visa. It is not a tax exemption. UK FCDO says British citizens may visit for 90 days without a visa. Tax residence brings worldwide income and a top rate of 35%. 29 32 33
