| * The Subte (Underground) service in Buenos Aires is the oldest in Latin America, which started working in 1913. The A line was the first one, and the original wooden trains were retired in 2013, after almost 100 years of continuous service, to be replaced with brand-new ones. One curious thing about the Subte is that trains run on the left, since the company who designed the first lines was English. There are some thematic stations, with nice decorations which remind historical events.

| Recommendation: Take your time and enjoy local coffee. Ask for a cortado (coffee plus very little milk, just to change the colour) with medialunas (moon-shaped sweet croissants). Downtown coffee shops open very early. Do not forget to ask for dulce de leche (a kind of sweet jam made of cooked milk and sugar, which is a perfect match for any patisserie) | Recommendation: Take your time and enjoy local coffee.

A cappuccino italiano will have whipped cream as well. | * un cappuccino: (cah-poo-cheen-oh) the cappuccino is the most visually stunning, as it comes in a tall thin glass, with clear layers of milk, coffee, and foam.

This is basically a deconstructed hot chocolate; the waiter will bring you a glass of warm milk and a chocolate bar, which you can plop into the milk and watch drop like a submarine.
