Best Neighborhoods to Explore in Buenos Aires

Visiting Buenos Aires isn't just about seeing the sights. The neighborhoods of Buenos Aires are what define the city, and the best way to get a sense of it is to stroll the streets, get lost, and sit in cafés people-watching. Trying to figure out where to stay or which barrios to visit?

This Buenos Aires neighborhood guide will help you choose and plan your trip to the city.

Here are the best 4 neighborhoods to visit in Buenos Aires. We are confident that this guide will assist you in deciding where to go exploring.

Centro (Montserrat/San Nicolas)

The microcentro, center, or downtown Buenos Aires is made up of several neighborhoods, the most prominent of which are Montserrat and San Nicolas.

The majority of the sights you'll want to see are in San Nicolas. You'll spend a lot of time here, whether you stay or not, visiting the Obelisco, Teatro Colon, Avenida 9 de Julio, Plaza de Mayo, and the Casa Rosada, as well as most of Florida Street.

On weekends, this area is very quiet (like many a business centered downtown). With its theatres and lights, Avenida Corrientes can feel like Times Square after dark.

Palermo

Palermo is a monster of a neighborhood and one of the hottest places to visit, live, go out at night, eat, shop, and do anything else.

It's so big that it's separated into several smaller communities, each with its own set of attractions.

Palermo Soho is Palermo's pulsing center, with the biggest density of street art, cafes, restaurants, bars, and stores.

The blocks surrounding Plaza Armenia and Plaza Serrano are the most picturesque and provide the greatest sights and activities.

Some of the best street art in Buenos Aires can be found in Palermo Soho's alleyways (pasajes) such Pasaje Russel, Pasaje Soria, and Sta. Rosa.

La Boca

The vibrant La Boca area is home to a variety of local and international art places, including the Usina del Arte, a repurposed power station turned cultural center, and the Proa Foundation. While Caminito is a terrific place to photograph a tango dancer, it is also rather touristic. More realistic streets with painted wooden and corrugated metal dwellings are Calle Suarez and Pinzon. Some of the buildings still have the original paint from the Italian immigrants who built them about a century ago.

Villa Crespo

Parque Centenario is a large metropolitan park that serves as a gathering place for group athletic training, outdoor yoga and dance, and mate-drinking bands. Other popular activities in this area include shopping for leather on Calle Murillo, viewing street art paintings, and dining at Sarkis, which serves Middle Eastern cuisine. Villas Crespo has a sizable Jewish community, which is reflected in several of the eateries, including La Crespo.
