On Sunday (during winter months) and Saturday evenings (during summer months) there is a lively outdoor market here with awesome live music in the main square. Great prices. Totally unique experience.
Great day trip from Buenos Aires. Take the regular train from Retiro or the Tren de la Costa. Take a boat ride through the delta to see the island life.

Gorgeous little town in Uruguay that's perfect for a day trip. Bring your camera. It's very picturesque. Take the ferry over and back in the same day and cross the massive Rio de la Plata.

San Telmo is the artsy, bohemian area of the city. It's gritty and old and totally beautiful. A few years back, it was sort of forgotten, but now it's packed with great bars, shops, cafes, and restaurants. There aren't as many antique shops as there used to be, but there are still a bunch.

Shopping

The best place in the city to shop for leather. There are tons of stores. Prices are similar in each, but they'll have different styles or colors. They can make an item for you if they don't have exactly what you want.

Beautiful leather. Go on one of your first days and have them take your measurements. You can get the leather you like, the lining you like, the cut you like. It's amazing.

This is indeed a produce market, but it is also a great spot to buy souvenirs and other crafts. Much better prices than in the city.

Stunning park along the river with a great trail for running or walking. You don't often get to see the river while in BA. From here, you can see how immense it is. Uruguay is on the other side.
