Our suggestions: weekends are very interesting busy days in Buenos Aires. In San Telmo neighborhood, there is an open-door antique fair at Dorrego Square. It's a district full of antique stores, art galleries and parlors where you can find souvenirs to bring back home. Recoleta quarter is definitely another interesting option. You will find tango dancers, musicians and other artists on the streets. We recommend to visit Recoleta Cultural Centre and the Fine Arts National Museum. Recoleta handicraft fair is the best in town.
In Puerto Madero is located Universe Faena, a very exclusive boutique hotel that usually hosts celebrities. It was designed by the architect Phillipe Stark.
Palermo Soho district blossoms on weekends. Stores with avantgard design, exquisite cafes and fancy restaurants will make your journey more enjoyable. Nowadays the preferred spot for fashionable travelers in Buenos Aires. This neighborhood, once a run-down place full of warehouses, factories, and tiny, decaying homes as recently as 15 years ago, has been transformed into one of the city's most chic destinations. Once you walk through Palermo Soho and begin to absorb its charms - cobblestone streets, enormous oak-tree canopies, and low-rise buildings giving a clear view to the open skies, you'll start wondering why it had been forsaken for so many years. You will find a variety of art galleries, independant designers shops, the most hip restaurants and bars and the latest tendence night clubs.
