We spent 6 days in the city in September 2006. Our daughter had been there for 3 months, so it was a help having someone to speak Spanish. It is essential to learn some basic Spanish before you get to South America. She was staying in the San Telmo area which is a very lively, fun-filled, place. Lots of great places to eat and drink and a fabulous market on Sundays. The streets are filled with stalls and plenty of Tango dancing. Make sure you have a secure bag while wandering through the streets. Yes, there are places in the city where the pavements are uneven and there is dog mess everywhere, but there are also other places where more money and time has been spent in sprucing it up. We stayed in the suberb of Palermo which has a good selection of clothes shops. Our favourite restaurant was Meridiano 58. The underground train is cheap and reliable. The taxis are too fast for my liking!
