9 Historic Walking Areas in Buenos Aires That You Shouldn't Miss

July 30, 2021 Deane Carmody

The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

Loved staying in this historic part of Buenos Aires. The Sunday flea market is amazing, the restaurants, wine bars, tango displays, pop-up music events, gorgeous 19th century architecture, cobblestone streets, art galleries, unique local designer shops, this place has it all. And it even had a few restaurants open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day which was a nice surprise.

La Boca del Arte

@labocadelarte Shop and Art Space, by artists Bea Grosso and Vastasimon. We are in a beautiful building of the year 1896, former residence of Italian immigrants, called conventillo. The place was restored by the architect Beatriz Maria Grosso, who prioritized to preserve the identity of the property and the original materials. We occupy one of the spaces on the ground floor, and we go out to the sidewalk to exhibit our works and share beautiful art experiences. It is the most authentic area of La Boca, with its neighbors in the streets, choripan stalls, and art at every step. The street where we are, Del Valle Iberlucea, is the way to go from Caminito to La Bombonera
