- Take tours of the Casa Rosada and the Congreso
- Feria de Mataderos

- Eat these as much as you can: medialunas, empanadas, choripan, provoleta

- Maru Botana-cafe/dessert place run by a famous Argentine chef-really cute place, great desserts. It's on Suipacha.
- Vasalissa Chocolatier-beautiful chocolate store on Callao.
- Bomba de Tiempo-at the Ciudad Cultural Konex. That venue has other concerts and events too.
- Try to also find random Carnival parades going on around the city too!
- And if you like watching tennis, the Copa Claro tournament is going on (you've probably seen billboards for it). It's pretty awesome and much more fun than the Family Circle Cup or other tournaments in the states because the crowd really gets into it. The tickets aren't expensive at all-I went to the finals and I think tickets were $25 (100 pesos). You can get tickets on the website through ticketek then pick them up at the Hard Rock by the Recoleta cemetery.
- Zoo de Lujan! You can pet tigers and feed elephants! It's also kind of a fun journey to get there. We took the bus (a really comfortable one that leaves from around Plaza Italia) to the Lujan city center then a cab from there to the zoo. The cathedral in Lujan is great too.
