The Mendoza City Guides answer the questions every first visit raises: which parrilla the locals trust, how to visit wineries without a pricey minibus tour, where to spend the hot hours of the afternoon and why nobody sits down to dinner before nine. Every guide is a short, honest list that tells you why a place is worth your time, what to order or see there and one useful tip, and it opens in your browser as soon as you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Don Mario
25 de Mayo 1324, Dorrego
The family parrilla many Mendocinos mention first when steak comes up, cooking lomo, asado de tira and bife with care and pairing them with solid wine. Cuts are large, so order one for the table. From the food guide.
Teatro Independencia
Chile 1184, Centro
Mendoza’s grand old theatre, a classical hall with fine acoustics that stages concerts, ballet and plays. A ticket for a local orchestra makes an inexpensive evening out. From the things to do guide.
Catena Zapata
Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo
The pyramid-shaped winery that made Argentine Malbec famous abroad. Come for the architecture and the family story, and stay for a tasting of wines rarely sold outside the country. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Mendoza
Day one: walk the central squares in the cool of the morning, see the ruins at the Museo del Área Fundacional, eat lunch at the Mercado Central and climb the Cerro de la Gloria for sunset before a late dinner. Day two belongs to wine: cycle between Maipú bodegas or book two estates in Luján de Cuyo. For a rainy or slow day, mix the free Moyano natural history museum, the art space under Plaza Independencia, a wine tasting on Arístides Villanueva and a concert at Teatro Independencia.
