Call a taxi to La Biela in the Recoleta district to take tea or coffee outside in the sunshine beneath the Gomero – a 1791 rubber tree. If you're thinking of having breakfast, order medialunas - the delightful miniature croissant that are ubiquitous here.

Shopping
From its unique location, blending into the shopping area between Retiro & Microcentro, to its notable interior, this Mall is quite memorable. Glass ceilings allow a lot of natural light into the Galeria even on a rainy day and are pretty to look at. There are a number of beautiful frescoes to admire on the ceiling, too. Shops vary from chains to a plethora of unique boutiques.
