Palermo
Residential district, surrounded by parks and gardens. It has
many pubs and restaurants and a rich cultural and night life.
Palermo is the most extensive district of the city; it is about
fifteen minutes away from downtown Buenos Aires. It has quite
diverse areas with a noticeable architectonic and stylistic
difference:
The Palermo parks, with artificial lakes, great gardens,
fountains and sculptures are an ideal place for outdoor sports.
There is the Zoo and the Botanical Gardens too. You can also
visit Rosedal and admire a great variety of roses and the most
beautiful sculptures.
Palermo Chico or Barrio Parque, a residential zone with
beautiful mansions, some museums and small curving streets.
Palermo Viejo is a traditional neighborhood with wide streets
and old, turn of the century, houses. It is a cultural area
where it is possible to see the last word in fashion or crafts,
developed mostly by young designers. There are also many bars,
pubs, restaurants with different food styles (Mexican, Japanese,
Creole, and others).
Palermo has many means of transportation. Several bus lines run
along Santa Fe avenue which take you to different parts of the
city and suburbs of Buenos Aires. It also has trains and subways
that allow you to arrive comfortably to Belgrano or Downtown BA.
