Antiques in San Telmo
Top 5 Don't Miss Stops in Buenos Aires
- San Telmo Sunday Antique Market: Step into the corky streets of San Telmo on Sunday mornings and afternoons to experience a real antique and handicraft market. Make sure to pick up some delicious pan relleno (stuffed bread) from the street vendors.
- Madres de Plaza de Mayo: Experience true perseverance and political protest every Thursday at 3:30 pm, where the Mothers and Grandmothers of the disappeared still march to protest the military junta of 1975-1983 and remember their loved ones lost.
- Tango at the Ideal: A great place to have a traditional tango experience without the frill of a large tourist trap tango show. They offer classes in the afternoon, and for those of you who prefer to watch others perform the sultry dance, just sit back in the café and enjoy a bite to eat and a cortado (espresso cut with milk).
- La Boca: While one of the poorest areas of Buenos Aires, La Boca offers tourists a unique glimpse into the lives of the immigrants who worked in the old boat docks. The neighborhood offers chichi street art and of course the famous brightly colored house, decorated with the left over ship paint from the dock.
- El Ateneo: Perhaps the world's most beautiful and incredible bookstore, the building was once an old theater and has been completely restored. It is located on Av. Santa Fe 1860.
