Buenos Aires

[secondtoughest]

I'm currently on holiday in Argentina for a week - just watched Sergio bang one in for City in a Buenos Aires bar, which was quite an experience.

Just wanted to ask if anyone had any City based Buenos Aires tourism suggestions? I'm watching the Superclasico tomorrow (can't get tickets) and plan to do a stadium tour for a couple of the clubs here but wondered if anyone had been here and could suggest anything City related? I know Aguero and Zaba were both born here and played for local clubs.

Ta in advance!

Don't mention the war. I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it

Sage advice indeed.

You'll get a ticket at the ground if you want one at a premium price I am sure.

Can't offer any advice on the place as never been, but tell us more about the bar when Sergio scored, were they happy at it?

Be very careful around cars. Apparently just the sight of a car sends Argentinians into apoplexy.

not City related but go to the Iguazo Falls and eat as much steak as possible swilled down with Malbec, you'll never get it better anywhere

Number plate of offending vehicle: H982 FKL? H (Jones, Lt.Col, 2PARA VC (RIP)) 982 (1982) FKL (Falklands)

BBC - Coincidence? Not intended to offend? Clarkson?.... I rest my case

Enjoy your break. Belived to be a very beautiful city.

The Recoleta Cemetery is pretty cool, but I didn't find it a city with any great specific attractions, its more about the general culture, atmosphere, wandering around the different barrios, nightlife and just soaking everything up.

Jetlag in full effect at the mo. Wide awake at 5am.

The bar where I watched City was called Sugar. It's an ex pat sports bar more aimed towards young Americans, I picked it as it shows virtually everything and its very close to our apartment in Palermo. As it was only 1.30pm here, it was really quiet - there was a couple of Germans watching the Cologne game and a kiwi couple watching the rugby. Nobody watching City aside from me and my partner :)

We're going to Iguazu next weekend and today is a big exploration day before my partner starts her conference on Monday. I've got some free time to myself next week so I'm going to do a bit of football tourism.

My Dad has already text me something about Clarkson so I'm guessing he's pissed someone else off!

Any bar / restaurant recommendations, let me know!

I get a feeling (hope) that he's gone too far this time and his smug face isn't seen on tv again.
