 | |  |  | Palermo: Palermo during the day | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
Although this neighbourhood is one of the oldest in Buenos Aires, it has been the number one top place to hang out for the past 7 years or so. Lots of designers have their shops there, meaning that the kind of clothes or objects you'll find are unique. This also means that it's not a cheap place to shop! BUT as you guys are tourists, money will be no object. It's also a nice hang-out at night due to its many restaurants and bars. Designers' shops is not the only thing that makes Palermo a must-see spot to visit, the typical architecture with houses having tall narrow doors make it different from other places in Buenos Aires. TIP: Get into any of the many shops and ask for a map, which will mark all the different shops, cafès and restaurants in the area. I'm a local and I always get one, not because it's easy to get lost, on the contrary, but that way you'll know about ALL the shops that you can choose from. Leave a Comment Directions: Palermo neighbourhood. Line D (subway) leaves you at Plaza Italia station, some 8 blocks from there. If not, just take a cab. It won't be more than 8 pesos from downtown.

| | | | Palermo: Great park | Tip Rating: | | | | |
The Palermo park - also know as "Bosques de Palermo" - is a beautiful place to walk around when the weather is nice and sunny. Mostly enclosed between the Avenidas del Libertador and Figueroa Alcorta, it has a variety of attractions and a calming effect on the visitor (unless you go on a sunday in spring when everyone seems to be playing soccer ;-) ) On a weekday, walking through El Rosedal (the rose garden) or El Jardin de Los Poetas (the poet's garden, a sculpture and fountain garden with many quiet spaces to sit down and reflect) is a beautiful experience. It definitely will take you away from the buzz of the city. The planetarium of Buenos Aires is also here, and so is a tremendous fountain ("Monumento a los espanoles" or "Monument to the Spaniards") in the intersection of Aveinda del Libertador and Avenida Sarmiento One last thing - if you have the luck to be around in October / November, please stop by to see the jacaranda trees in bloom, with their lilac flowers that fall and cover the red gravel paths... As in any big city park, I would advise to be careful as dusk approaches, there have been some incidents lately, especially purse snatchings. Leave a Comment Address: Avenida del Libertador at Avenida SarmientoDirections: From downtown, take a cab down Figueroa Alcorta, turn down at Sarmiento and get off at Sarmiento and Avenida del Libertador
