Palermo

Palermo is one of the largest neighborhoods in Buenos Aires City and is located just 15 minutes from downtown. When the residents say “ Let's Go To Palermo” they mean to tour the park, beautiful lakes and gardens. The park boasts the largest green area in the city. It can be compared to the High Park in London or the famous Bois de Boulogne in Paris.

Palermo Traditional is an elegant neighborhood which extends between Del Libertador and Las Heras avenues.

Palermo Chico, or Barrio Parque, is a very exclusive area located on Figueroa Alcorta Avenue between Tagle and San Martin de Tours streets. There you'll find luxurious petit- hotels and blocks of apartments as well as magnificent mansions, which house embassies and foreign entities. It has plenty of trees and it's an ideal place to take walks.

Palermo Viejo, ( or Old Palermo ) was at one time the “ malevos” and compadritos”( or gangsters and low class snobs ) and poets such as Evanisto Carriego y Jorge Luis Borges, and a refuge of the Tango, when it was considered sinful. Nowadays it's an upscale neighborhood adopted by the youth. It is called Villa Freud (Freud village) because several psychologists practice there. It maintains a Bohemian atmosphere, which makes it particularly interesting. You'll also find bookshops and restaurants which are crowded all day long.

Palermo Hollywood and Palermo Soho, are trendy places where you'll find a great variety of new age cuisine, as well as exclusive fashion wear designed by young designers.
