Well Heather- to list a few unique things to do in BA that, in my opinion, dont get onto the forums and reviews much… Temaiken zoo blows the zoo in plaza italia out of the water. It is a habitat for animals rather than a display of sad and malnourished animals. For clubbing I always recommend Podesta in Palermo Soho, foreigners don’t really go there, but they have great DJs on weekends and the scene isn’t all foreigners, its just a great place to dance through the night. Kentucky pizza, yes is amazing, but a place like 1893 pizza in Villa Crespo does an amazing pizza a la parilla as well as a la piedra that is to die for, and with toppings like jamon crudo and rucula, goat cheese and pesto its a real treat at great prices. Tierra Santa is another really fun place to see along costanera, as are the public country club pools. Bumping techno music and fernet and tons of pool and grass area to lie out along the river, a great way to spend a weekend day. Parque Centenario and the feria that surrounds it, in some ways, is much cooler and cheaper than san telmo. The park is gorgeous and is full of life in spring, summer and fall and all around the park there are hundreds of vendors selling really cool vintage stuff that is a fourth of the outrageous prices they ask in San Telmo. I hope this helps some readers who are looking for unique stuff to do in BA. I love it here and only want to help people discover the hidden secrets.

Hey Allison! It would be great if you can share some of your own experiences and what you think students would enjoy while studying abroad in Buenos Aires.

I really enjoyed this photo essay, although, with the masses of content on Matador about the cool and unique things to do and see in Buenos Aires, I would have liked to see some of that in this. There are more reasons to come to Buenos Aires than the touristy sights and tango.
