 | Buenos Aires San Telmo Reviews | 1 - 10 of 141 |  |
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

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. Leave a Comment Address: San Telmo neighbourhoodDirections: Just ask a taxi driver to take you there. It's about 10 minutes from downtown. There's no subway going to that area, but you can take the 152 bus.

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.
San Telmo es un barrio popular y típico; en el siglo XIX fue el barrio de las familias más ricas de Buenos Aires, y actualmente, las casas antiguas, los restaurantes y el tango le dan al lugar una atmósfera particular.

My last evening in Bs Aires ... i wanted to enjoy one more time of San Telmo quarter and i met with a local friend there ( Abril VT member ) we drank some beers in Dorrego quarter and chilling a lot with his boyfriend and a girlfriend of her...
San telmo take refuge to the Bohemian feelings and its like a small city inside a huge one....its a shelter for those who love a quiet life into a big one and crowded city wherever
you go !
on the second pic ...its a local map typed on the street wall representing San Telmo independent republic... with all the streets and highlights Leave a Comment Directions: An old charmed neighborhood

San Telmo -at some time the center of the city- proves that Buenos Aires has existed for more than four centuries.
You can infer that because of the different old buildings protected as historical heritage.
Here you can find most of the tanguer?as.
In Plaza Dorrego and surroundings you can feel that tango atmosphere reproduced by the bandone?n rhythm.
Artisans and antique stands gather here, and tango dancers usually perform their shows in the open air.
Since San Telmo has been declared historical area it has developed from the point of view of buildings and stores. Many last century old houses have been recycled into stores and picturesque restaurants.
