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).

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Tigre is a great little day trip and there is something so calming and refreshing about being by the water. It can get quite busy at the weekend and in high season so try to go on a weekday if you can. The market, museums and tearooms along the river will fill up your day very easily.

As beautiful and exciting as Buenos Aires is, there's a lot more to Argentina that is to be discovered and if you're looking to get a taste of the gaucho lifestyle then you must take a visit to San Antonio... Or even go one step further and stay at a nearby Estancia (there are many not far from San Antonio) and experience life in 'el campo'.

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?
