The best time to walk around San Telmo is either on Saturday or Sunday, as the main streets become pedestrian. During the week there's traffic and many people rushing in the streets. It's true that at the weekend it becomes a tourist spot, but you'll also get to see one of the best antiques markets in town, as well as buskers singing and dancing tango.
It's the cobbled-stoned streets and the old buildings which make this place unique and a must-see.
BTW, at night the place is very nice too (lots of lights). It's got some good restaurants and bars.

There's no subway going to that area, but you can take the 152 bus.

My first time here was on Sunday afternoon late in the market day. But with enough time to stroll through and enjoy the neighborhood and its weekend market. What a madhouse! I loved it.Great idea and thanks for the tour Pilar.
On this past visit we ventured into the markets. It was very crowded and full of activity. Tango dancers in the street, vendors, food....so much to see. Leave a Comment Directions: An old charmed neighborhood

The San Telmo Feria is the place to be on a Sunday afternoon. The street fair/flea market is from 10 am-5 pm and draws a respectable crowd! Booth after booth of antiques, jewelry, silver pieces, glassware, linens, handmade crafts and other items are offered for sale. This is one place in Buenos Aires where bargaining is expected.
On a street nearby, people pose in entertaining vignettes offering to have their photos taken with the tourists for a contribution. Children play accordions in the hopes of receiving a small tip for amusing the visitors.
San Telmo is said to be the barrio most connected with the Tango. There was a Tango demonstration at the feria when we visited. It was a passionate display! Address: Defensa and Humberto StreetsDirections: An old charmed neighborhood

San Telmo is a popular and typical district; at the 19th century it was a district for the richest families of Buenos Aires, and nowadays, ancient houses, restaurants and tango music give this place a very particular atmosphere.
On Sunday mornings, there is a flea market at Plaza Dorrego, where you can find all kind of antiques and handicrafts, and a lot of peculiar characters.
