If you like books or not, El Ateneo is definitely something to go and marvel at. The well kept stalls, cornices and lighting is quite stunning, as well as the lines of books filling empty spaces (particularly when looking from above).

This museum is a joy to walk around and there are English guided tours if you want to be filled in properly on all the pieces. If not, there's always wide and varied exhibitions to take a look at and make your own interpretations of. The museum is also free which is always a bonus.

This is a museum like no other. It's a little sanctuary from the city and will take you into another world. The art, history and ambiance is quite special and the museum often puts on exhibitions and guided tours so you could easily spend 1-2 hours here (finishing at the cafe outside).

Dante's 'Divine Comedy' has inspired the structure of this building; the bottom level representing 'hell', the middle 'purgatory' and of course the top representing 'heaven'. It's one of the most interesting buildings in the city and its view has to be enjoyed.

A ticket to a show at Teatro Colon is a bit of a steal when comparing it to other famous theatres across the world so it's your once chance to indulge in a bit of upper class culture. There are even some performance you can go along to for free or for very cheap. The architecture is stunning and performances are world class.

A place we could say that has some magic to go for a drink. Located in a traditional Buenos Aires Luxury home, Milion is one of the most sophisticated places in Buenos Aires to spend a beautiful summer night at its stunning garden.

The planetarium is worth a visit, even if it's just to admire it from the outside. The shows are however quite impressive so it's worth checking one out and you'll find all details of upcoming events/shows on the website.

For the theatre buffs out there, Corrientes is the main drag and Paseo La Plaza will offer a welcome break if you're wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of it all. Even if you're not into theatre, Corrientes is good to have a wander down as it's really where the heartbeat of the city is - then escape to Paseo La Plaza when needing to.

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.

The creative energy in this city is endless and this place is just one example. Most of the performances are in Spanish but with the lights out it's a good opportunity to focus in on your listening skills instead of being distracted by all that's around you. If you're looking to do something a bit different then go for it.

The "Bomba del Tiempo" night is probably one of the most fun experiences I've hadin Buenos Aires. The night won't cost you more than 200 pesos (dependant on how much beer you drink) so it's also light on the pocket if you're on a budget.

Lets face it, you can't come to Buenos Aires and go away without experiencing tango in some shape or form. This place is lively, easy-going and has a full bar if you're needing a bit of dutch courage ;) One thing I would say is ... Just give it a go. Really, what do you have to lose?
