This vacation rental is in a brand new luxurious building in the heart of Palermo. It was great to be able to walk to all of the best stores, cafes, restaurants, etc, and the metro was right there as well, though we mostly took taxis. The studio is high end and it has a lovely, lovely view of the city. There's a pool too though I ate so much red meat I didn't want to put on a bathing suit!
If you're looking for a nice little pad in the hear of the action, I highly recommend this accomodation. You get much more for your money that if you stay at a hotel.

If you are just tired of the red meat thing, try the Japanese-Peruvian fusion at Sipan (Paraguay 624). It is really an excellent and consistent restaurant that delivers great creations. Try the tiraditos de maracuya and the awesome ceviche.

Everything you always wanted to know about Eva Peron's personal life is in this museum, so you can have a better understanding of this fascinating and controversial figure. There is also a very good restaurant on the premises.

I recently stumbled upon this great wine store run by English sommelier Nigel Tollerman, at one of his regular semi-public tastings, a really fun and social event. They sell over 400 premium and super-premium Argentine wines (the best wines that are almost all exported and nobody else in this town seems to be able to get hold of, he managed to get me some Chacra Pinot Noir from Patagonia and some San Pedro de Yacochuya from Salta, two of my favourites), and he delivers (often within the hour) anywhere in Buenos Aires at no extra charge, with snazzy presentation and friendly service. They also do private tastings in their cellar, and Nigel is a fountain of knowledge.

I found this travel agency via a Lonely planet guidebook. I took their football experience tour to watch a River vs Boca game and it was the greatest event and atmosphere I have ever experienced in my life:)

After that I booked with them a tour in Patagonia and a few more tours in Buenos Aires. The guides where cool and the tiger navigating expedition better then the commercial one.

I really recommend these young people for whatever you want to do in Argentina.

I can honestly say Borges Design hostel is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. It is located in Palermo Soho, the trendiest area of Buenos Aires which is home to a host of boutiques and bustling bars.

After nine months travelling around 11 countries, the hostel was a welcome retreat from other hostels which had looked great on the photos but in reality were run down and dirty.

The communal areas were clean and tidy and the double rooms were spacious and comfy. The breakfast offered a variety which is a rarity in Argentina where most hostels offer a stale bread roll.

The hostel offers excellent value for money and I would recommend the hostel to anyone planning a trip to Buenos Aires.

Please book ahead and expect a formal dining room and incredible service. The six-course tasting menu is great value. Expect upwards of $100 for two.

Walking tours of street art in Buenos Aires. I was looking for a modern cultural tour and found graffitimundo. We visited walls, galleries and artists studios, which we couldn't have found ourselves. It was a fantastic way to meet artists and learn more about street art in Argentina.

Buenos Aires is a big, beautiful city overflowing with great opportunities and activities for all kinds of travellers. Full of history, art, tango, football and the best night life in the world, Buenos Aires attracts tourists from all over the globe. But like any international city, there are certain measures that you must take in ensuring that you will have the safest, most enjoyable trip possible.

Protect your personal belongings at any popular tourist destinations, where pickpockets often take advantage of distracting landmarks to relieve travellers of their wallets, passports and cameras. This also holds true in crowded subways and buses. Only hold you camera in your hands when you are using it; stash it back in your bag or pocket in between photos as to not attract attention. Be careful with purses and backpacks while sitting at cafes or restaurants. These are prime spots for quick robberies, and try to tie your bags to the tables or chairs whenever possible.

At night, limit the amount of cash you carry and always know exactly where you are going. Know which areas to avoid after sundown, such as La Boca, and try sticking with a larger group instead of walking the streets alone. Only use cabs labelled as “Radio Taxis,” as these are known to be safer than independent drivers. If there are ever any problems, contact the Tourist Police Station at 4346-5748. And don’t forget that while safety is important, you still need to have fun. So if keep your head up and use common sense, you should be in for the best vacation of your life!

Because it is the craziest football game of the year- the two biggest rivals in BA square off for bragging rights- every fan is angry and intense- afterwards is always a good party with whichever team wins!

Enjoy a pleasant day trip in tranquil Tigre. Much of Tigre comprises forested islands immersed in the river delta. You can explore these islands on “Lanchas Colectivas,” which are water buses more or less, except that you get to choose your destination dock.

Also get in some jetskiing, birdwatching or sport fishing in the various rivers of Tigre.

Catch the train to Tigre from Retiro Station. A quick 45-minute train ride.
