    Mercado San Telmo

    San Telmo Market

    Daily market housed in a huge wrought-iron hall. Everything from fresh basil to antique shoes and coins is on display in this permanent marketplace. There are many food vendors in the cafeteria section at the rear of the building. Come during the week to see the local produce and meat market.

  2. SeeCentro

    Palacio Barolo

    Don't miss this architectural gem in Buenos Aires, designed in accordance with the cosmology of the Divine Comedy. Reserve a guided tour in advance (night or day) and enjoy one of the best views of Buenos Aires. If you do not book a tour, they will not let you into the lower floor. However, try to sneak in with another tour or head in, asking for a tour. The tour counter is on the other side of the lower floor, so enough time to see the lower floor and take pictures. Palacio Barolo has just about priced itself out of the market.

    AR$48,000 for day visit and more at night

  3. SeeCentro

    Plaza Dorrego

    The second oldest plaza in Buenos Aires, six days a week the plaza is a relatively quiet, shady space lined with restaurants and cafes. On Sundays an antiques market takes over and you can hardly see the plaza for the people and market stalls. The stalls get cleared away from about 17:00, and from 20:00 there is public dancing, including tango.

  4. EatPalermo and Recoleta

    The Night Market

    Excellent Asian food in a wonderfully decorated space. You purchase tokens (Yuan) which you use to pay for dishes at one of three of the market's "vendors" located in the back of the restaurant. Place your order, grab a table, and wait for the food to be delivered to you. This is not an "Argentinian" restaurant but it is an experience you won't find anywhere else on the continent.

    Mon-Thu 20:00-00:00, Fri-Sat 20:00-01:00, closed Sun
