Head to San Telmo, the oldest area of Buenos Aires, where you'll find a wide range of cafés and restaurants with options catering to all tastes and budget. For an authentic experience, walk the cobbled streets to El Desnivel restaurant and squeeze into one of the small tables. This Argentine grill is always packed with locals and is a great place to enjoy the finest cut of beef and a glass of vino. If you're in San Telmo on a Sunday visit Plaza Dorrego for the famous antiques fair.
When you've had your fill of food and wine, why not head into microcentro (the city centre) – home to several museums and the many 19th century European buildings that give this Latin American city such a unique feel. Walk down the lively pedestrian street Av Florida and head to Galerías Pacífico, one of the best shopping malls in the city.
If you haven't had enough of Argentina's fantastic wines, join a wine tasting tour and sample the local flavours.
