With heavy importation taxes, Buenos Aires isn't somewhere you'll want to pick up electrical goods but when it does excel when it comes to outdoor markets selling local produce and unique souvenirs.

If you're keen to cook something yourself when in Buenos Aires then this place is a good option for some healthier treats and if you're wanting a change from steak! You can sit in and eat here too - just pick out different bits you want (including artisan beer and fancy wine) then head upstairs to the terrace to enjoy your feast.

Abasto Shopping Mall

Abasto is a good shopping option if you're wanting some basics and also somewhere with a bit of culture and architectural interest. The building itself is incredible and was in fact built by the same constructors as "La Bombonera" (Boca Juniors home ground).

If you're struggling to find some essential items then this is always a good place to go . The building itself is actually quite stunning, with its Parisian style exterior and ornate details and frescos inside. Stores within can be a bit more expensive than other shopping centres but sometimes there are items that are a must!

A market for locals, Las Pulgas will give you a sense of how many in the city make a living from restoring items and furniture that many of us would probably cast aside for the latest Ikea trend. Fortunately, many of the items have been giving a new lease of life and it's only sad that most of it is near impossible to bring back in your luggage!

This is a great place to stock up on more reasonable souvenirs and ensure you get your quota of red meat and other delicious Argentine favourites. Tigre is quite a sleepy place so its nice to take a detour here if you're wanting to see beyond the river and houses on stilts.

If you're keen to save some money when in the city then these shops are a God-send. There is one right on the corner of Thames y Gorriti (in Palermo) that is a personal fav; you can pick out all the fruit & veg yourself as opposed to the pressure of having to ask someone to do it for you (although this is good practice of your Spanish).

In addition to the antiques and tango, Plaza Dorrego has an interesting history in that it was were locals used to load goods being shipped to and from Europe. Today it's still a buzz of activity and, although sometimes very touristy, it is definitely worth spending a few hours there.

Come for an ogle at incredible antiques, vintage gems, fruit stalls, butchers...you name it. Also not forgetting "Coffee Town", the market's newest addition; another one of Buenos Aires's best coffee stop offs.
