San Telmo
San Telmo is well connected with the most relevant tourist points: from the aristocratic Recoleta to the popular Caminito, La Boca, the Congress, the Obelisc, Plaza de Mayo and Puerto Madero. The transfer from the entry points to the city is quick and direct.

The south of the city (for many tourists and locals alike, its most intriguing area) begins just beyond Plaza de Mayo. It contains the oldest part of the city and its narrow, often cobbled streets are lined with some of the capital's finest architecture, typified by compact late nineteenth-century town houses with ornate Italianate facades, sturdy but elegant wooden doors and finely wrought iron railings. From the cultivated charm of San Telmo, setting for the city's popular Sunday antique market, to the passionate atmosphere of La Boca on match days, when the neighbourhood seems to drown in a sea of blue and yellow, the south offers an appealing mix of tradition and popular culture. It's also home to one of the city's most unusual green spaces, the unexpectedly wild Reserva Ecológica, which lies out to the east, beyond the chaotic rumble of lorries which trundle along the city's dock area.

In its beginnings, San Telmo was inhabited by the wealthiest families of Buenos Aires until 1871's Yellow Fever epidemic forced them to move North. With the passing of time, San Telmo's appearance changed and it became a sightseeing must' in which old time's value architecture can be appreciated.

Among the interest spots you'll find the Orthodox Russian Church (1904), La Defensa Alley (typical eighteenth century large house that recreates the Colonial Buenos Aires) and Dorrego Square (every Sunday there's an antiques fair), where you can spend some time at a coffe shop, Tango or Jazz dance clubs.
