First of all, let´s talk about day life, what sort of activities can you do in such a big city without going mad? Well, it depends on your interests and your willing to travel some not-that-long distances. If you like cycling or walking with friends, the best and cheapest choice is going to the Ecological reserve in Costanera which is a vast green area boarding the river. Maybe you are not that sporty but you still miss the trees and forests from your country, then you can visit Palermo Woods (also free) located between Libertador and Figueroa Alcorta Avenue, where you can sunbathe, walk or rent a small boat to row. There are also another interesting places in Palermo where you can have fun by paying a small amount of money for entrance, such as The Zoo (located in Sarmiento and Las Heras St.), the Botanical Garden - not only has got plants, flowers and trees but also has got millions of abandoned cats- placed in Santa Fe 3900 Avenue winter schedule (Mon to Fri 8am-6pm. Sat Sun 9.30am-6pm holidays 11am-6pm) summer (Mon to Fri 8am-7pm Sat Sun 9.30am-7pm holidays 9.30am-7pm), or the Japanese Garden (located in Figueroa Alcorta and Caseres Av. opened from 10 am-6pm $16 entrance).
Maybe it is rainny and you do not feel like walking that much, then you can go to The Pacific Gallery downtown and walk over Florida and Lavalle streets, where you can also shop if you want. Besides, if you are a shopping lover, try visiting Palermo Shopping Centre or Abasto, you are going to love those malls.
On the other hand, there are some teenagers that like a different sort of fun: the amusement park lovers! If you feel you are one of them, do not hesitate to go to Parque de la Costa located in Tigre district. The entrance is between 70-150 pesos and it is opened friday to sunday from 11am to 7 pm. My advice if you do not want to spend much money is that you choose the accurate passport before entering the park. To get there you can take the Coast train and once you get to Tigre Station you walk about 9 blocks. In addition you can go to the Fruit Port which is next to the Amusement park. There you can buy beautiful crafts as souvenir (they are also very cheap)
Although you like going out during day, I know you young people love night life, right? So, regarding going out at night I must warn you that Buenos Aires never sleeps. If you go dancing, you will notice discos open till 6 am and party time starts around 2 or 3am. So, you should better go to a bar before, and once you have drunk some beers you are ready to go to the disco! (REMEMBER THAT IF YOU DRINK YOU MUST NOT DRIVE AND TRY TO STAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS ALL THE TIME. It is risky even being far away from home).
If you are looking for an Irish bar then go to The Kilkenny (M.T Alvear st 399) or DownTown Matias (located in Reconquista y Viamonte). The entrance is free and music is really good, also great well-prepared beverages). Another interesting bar is La Cigale (25 de Mayo st 527) where you will enjoy a friendly atmosphere, great modern ambience, good music, but if you love 80s music and videos and you want to visit an original bar, you can not miss Living (placed in Recoleta M.T.de Alvear st). In this bar you will also be able to dance, listen and watch videos of your favourite 80s bands (here you have to pay to enter).
What if you feel like dancing? Ok, here there is a huge amount of places on the list to choose. I will give you my advice according to my experience and recommendation:
Many teenagers like dancing latin music, for them there is a great disco called Maluco (sarmiento 1728). For 21 years old people I shall recommend Azucar (corrientes 3300), the best place to take your boyfriend or girlfriend dancing Salsa!
Best discos for electronic music lovers are Bareihn (lavalle 300) and Caix (entrance $60 salguero y costanera norte). This one is a bit far away from downtown, you may have to take a taxi to get there, sometimes some DJs play live.
You must also remember that Buenos Aires is gay friendly too. My advice is that you go either to Amerika disco (entrance $80, gascon 1000 palermo) or to Glam (cabrera 3046) because they are the most popular ones.
In order to have fun in downtown, dancing current and a great vary of music then go to GOA (sarmiento 1662 $40 entrada), it is not that expensive and people are great! But if your idea of having fun is related to 80s music go to Museum (peru y venezuela) where you will find peopleo between 25-31 age.
For a glamorous night, visit Rumi (Figueroa Alcorta and La pampa), Djs live, great music, high society class people, expensive entrance. This is a disco where you have be stylishly dressed to get into.
Being gotic or geek, you will feel great in Requiem disco which is cheap and under ( mayo av 900)
Finally I must recommend my favourite place to go out at night which is Plaza Serrano, a Square surrounded by many bars and discos with a great music and atmosphere, located in jorge luis borges and honduras streets. These bars have also a secret, during day they become into cloth shops, can you believe it?
I hope you can really use all this information. See you soon!
