Insider Tips
- Eat a parrilla dinner at Don Julio (book weeks ahead) or La Cabrera for the city's best steak
- Use Western Union for the best peso exchange rate — the official rate is half the market rate
- Subte (subway) is cheap and fast; buy a SUBE card at any kiosk to use it
- Sunday at the San Telmo market is the city's best people-watching afternoon
