Buenos Aires is a great city was divided into 48 "barrios" (environment), and each and every of them offers a unique experience. There are hundreds of "confiterias" (coffee shop), museums, independent bookstores, fine art exhibits, beautiful Japanese Gardens, beautiful historic buildings throughout the city, etc. The food in Argentina, although not too varied, it is beautiful. Argentina is known for their meat, which is a product of raising grass-fed cattle. Usually the meat is served with baked or mashed potatoes, and bread. Because the Italian immigration, we can also find an amazing Italian restaurant with a Latin flavor (Sotovoce is a good example). If you are sports freaks, Buenos Aires breath football. Try to catch the game from one of the two most popular teams in the history of "Fútbol", Boca Juniors or River Plate. Musically speaking, Buenos Aires is the Mecca, the cradle of tango, and "Rock en Español". Tango still practiced around the city, but if you want to enjoy the nostalgia, catch a show at La Ventana, the best music show ever seen in my life. If you go outside the city and province of Buenos Aires, visit the "Gaucho" (Argentine cowboy) ranch, which usually also offer a performance of "boleadoras" and tons of food. Do not worry about the language, almost everyone in the city speaks English. Safety wise, you should be aware of some sketchy areas (La Boca, although beautiful, it's unlikely that safe at night), but all in all, is a very safe city. Public transport in the city is much better than NYC, and cheaper too, with a great mix Taxi, Subway, Bus and Light Rail, you will not need a car at all!. If all that was not enough, the Argentine peso was three per one U.S. dollar, so you get amazing value for money. Buenos Aires is favorite city in the world!

First-time visitors tend to associate Buenos Aires with tango, steak, and wine-a trifecta of local passion-but the French capital structure Argentina, Italian food, and nightlife of Spain also tells the story of a city with one foot in Latin America and the other in Europe. Beyond the "Paris-of-South-America" cliché, this is a world class city of art, superb cuisine, and internationally acclaimed design. After the 2001 crisis battered the nation's economy and the value of its currency, BA became one of the few world high-gloss/low-cost trips, resulting from the influx of visitors and expatriates to change the city, in some ways you could say save it from decline even worse. In recent months, however, inflation has puzzled acute once the country's strong recovery. The days of cheap Buenos Aires as the castle has gone-at least for now-but the physical charm and culture has never been more apparent.
Wandering between Art Deco and Art Nouveau tomb filled Recoleta Cemetery amazing-especially in the morning (opens at 7 am), when no one except for cats and women who feed them.
Afternoon stroll through Palermo Chico, the exclusive French-style mansion that houses the embassy, TV celebrities, and the wealthy only. Finished with a stop at Floralis Generica, a giant metal flower sculpture at the UN Plaza that opens and closes with the sun.
Staying up late. Dinner starts at 9:30 pm at the start, and the nightlife begins at midnight. You'll have more fun if you pretend you're a Porteño (as the locals are known) for at least one night.

Shopping in Buenos Aires - "Stop me before I buy a large bag made of cow!" I was angry text a friend in New York when I was sitting on the porch of a lovely cafe La Biela in Recoleta, just down the hill ramp of luxury crypt where Eva Perón is buried minutes earlier, I was close to forking over a hundred dollars for a giant, hairy Birkin pseudo ,. but because I have spent the last few hours to buy a fistful of silver bracelet, a large serving tray with deer-horn handles, turquoise leather studded evening bags, lamps made of leather, satin and even a small couch in the 1920s that opened into a jewelry box, I decided that maybe it was time to catch my breath greedy.

By shopping at major European capitals today challenge the best and worst financial nightmare, Buenos Aires presents an interesting alternative. Tango-besotted city pulsating with energy, and offer-despite the collapse of the peso six years ago-evolving retail scene.

As I tilted from one end of town to the other-fortunately taxis are very reasonable, especially compared to New York or LA-I find myself speculating on the storied town, and often contradictory, historical: Is Eva Perón spirit hovering over the majestic Recoleta? Are children Argentina revolutionary, Che Guevara, turn rough streets of San Telmo But my reverie is only a last-minute personality may be staring at you from every newsstand and gift shop?, But that's the life of the city that make visiting and spending it-here -an interesting experience.

Recoleta
It's no surprise that Eva Perón was interred at the heart of this neighborhood. Evita will always be remembered for, among other things, her elegant wardrobe. Although this road is home to the elegant Hermès and Louis Vuitton, you will also find many of the same upscale boutiques BA-specific.

At the top level accessories shop Sanz Pérez, a small collection of bags including clutch disk covered with silver for $ 495 each, and bags decorated with triangular chrysoprase and silver ($ 900) is so elegant could double as a table item. On the lower floor, a row of drawers holds a vast array of imaginatively designed jewelry-Sanz is also a sculptor and architect-including gold and silver woven fine enough to pass for passementerie. Roads, Sanz has other stores, concentrating on small household appliances that make wonderful souvenirs. Ring the bell, down the staircase and you will find an alpaca-silver box decorated with dragonflies ($ 425) and topped with a silver bell cow for $ 445. I was overcome by temptation by Mates, which is intended for sipping tea cups: squat and round, they are a classic Argentine product, to be sold everywhere from flea markets to the lowest level upscale places like this.

The smell of leather satisfying greets you as you enter the Arandu, dedicated to his craft, and at least in my case, the scent works as a magic elixir in my wallet. I may not be in the market for a jumping saddle, but I managed to stock up on bracelets woven bags, hunting suede, embroidered belt, and alpaca-silver photo frame. Shiny riding boots are very underpriced at around $ 350.

Despite-or perhaps because of its chandeliers and glass ceiling dramatic, some visitors will find Patio Bullrich, considered the city's most prestigious shopping malls, just a tad too sterile, others will be happy to find McDonald and Christian Lacroix under the same roof. Say what you will, Porteños (as the BA called) proud of the place, which features, among international brands such as Cacharel, and Max Mara, a branch of the local chain shoe Sibyl Vane (named after the ill-fated hero of Oscar Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray), where a pair of silver high-heeled sandals with a zipper up the back is about $ 104.
