Buenos Aires city life
Buenos Aires is known for its highly gifted writers, artists, musicians and filmmakers. You can grab a cup of coffee at the historic Café Tortoni in the evening or head to Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA), a private art museum that was designed by two young Argentine architects. Head to Palermo, the best neighbourhood to experience the city life in Buenos Aires; grab a drink at Plaza Palermo or visit the botanical garden that is almost 170 years old and has more than 5000 species of plants. You sure will want to visit the waterfront neighbourhood of Puerto Madero, especially Puente de la Mujer or Plaza Dorrego in San Telmo for shopping.

Other places you can visit include the beautiful Florida Street, Tigre Art Museum, El Congreso, China Town, Recoleta Cemetry, among others.
