Buenos Aires is without a doubt one of South America’s coolest cities. Within this city of 3 million people, you’ll find world-class restaurants, passionate soccer fans, and all kinds of things to see and do.
The Argentine capital is also home to a rich tapestry of neighborhoods which make the city unique. One, in particular, is Palermo.
Palermo, located in the northeastern section of the city and bordering the Rio de la Plata, is a sophisticated, beautiful, and unique area that defines the best of what the city has to offer, both culturally and gastronomically.
The former home of famous Argentines such as Che Guevara and Jose Luis Marti, Palermo’s historical core is the top place that you should visit in this part of the city. Statues and monuments line the area’s plazas and beautiful 18th-century architecture can be found inhabited by shops and restaurants in the top part of Palermo.
There is plenty more to see in Palermo, as other parts of the neighborhood offer up treasures such as a Japanese Botanical Garden, the Galileo Galilei Planetarium, and the popular urban park called Palermo Woods.
Simply put, there’s absolutely no way to be bored while visiting Palermo, no matter what your interests are.
Be sure to add Palermo to the top of your “neighborhoods to see” list when you start planning your next Buenos Aires excursion. You won’t be disappointed!
