 Tango dancers at Plaza
Dorrego by Frisbeeace
Every Sunday there is a flea market and an antiques fair in Dorrego Square. And, as part of the rhythm of the city you will find at the corners of the square tango dancers giving public performances. Sunday brings a fun atmosphere (along with every tourist in the city) to this epicenter of the tango world. Leave a Comment Directions: The colonnial neighborhood

 San Telmo by pili
To stroll through San Telmo following its narrow twisting little streets, past its old houses and its nostalgic cafes, lets you recreate the Buenos Aires of yesterday.-
San Telmo es un distrito rico en historia y anécdotas. Actualmente es el lugar donde se encuentran los más importantes anticuarios y lugares donde se canta y baila tango. Es uno de los barrios porteños más visitados por los turistas. Una caminata por San Telmo, siguiendo sus estrechas callecitas con sus viejas casas y nostálgicos cafés, permiten recrear el Buenos Aires de ayer Leave a Comment

Next to the Parque Lezama (between La Boca and San Telmo) we found the Russian Orthodox church: Catedral de la Santisima Trinidad.
The building is quite different from the other (Argentinean) buildings around, with its five onion-domed ‘towers’, which do have an almost too turquoise colour. The church is (off course) based on a Muscovite style and has been inaugurated in 1901. One of the walls, next to the entrance, has a mosaic mural of the Sacred Trinity (2 x 3 m).
The church is located at Av Brazil 315 and is rather close to the centre of San Telmo. If you are visiting by taxi, be sure you do have the address, because our driver had never heard of these church. We were unlucky and couldn't visit the interior of the church because it was closed. As far as I know (thank you 'puppis') there are no opening hours for visiting the church; only masses are scheduled: Saturdays 13 p.m. and Sundays 10 a.m.

Plaza Dorrego is the epicenter for the Sunday Fair and Market in San Telmo, although it spills out on neighboring streets, particularly Calle Defensa, that are closed to vehicular traffic and the entire area becomes an immense pedestrian mall. In and right around Plaza Dorrego the emphasis is on antiques, from old spoons and door hinges to vintage clothing and seltzer bottles. As you wander farther along it becomes more of an arts and crafts fair with people singing and playing all types of music, the inevitable people pretending to be statues, etc. Exploring this area could easily take up your entire Sunday if you want it to.

 The Real Thing by leok
Plaza Dorrego is the hub of activity. Antique dealers fill the square whilst a variety of tango dancers and singers throng its edges. A tip is to try to grab one of the seats on one of the bar balconies looking over the square as dusk falls. Order a beer and monkey nuts. After most tourists and dealers have left many of the locals come out to dance the tango in the failing light. A taste of authentic Argentina.
If it's a sunny day there are plenty of places to sit outside. Later in the evening there are loads of cool bars to choose from - favourites include:
El Federal (Carlos Calvo 599) dating back to the 1860s this is one of the city's oldest bars. Serves food and really good strong coffee which comes with a slice of complimentary cake. Both I and a friend thought the waitress here was the most beautiful woman in town!
Gibraltar (Peru 895) an English 'themed' pub which is very popular with tourists in the evening and Argentinians who want to practice their language skills Leave a Comment
