Barrio Norte

Barrio Norte is one of the most elegant and safe districts of Buenos Aires. It is structured around Santa Fe Avenue, a traditional street, with diverse businesses, banks, restaurants, bars and cinemas.

Close to Recoleta, it is one of the prettiest areas of the City. You are minutes away, and in some cases steps away, from many embassies, outstanding hotels, tourist sights and shops as, for example, Patio Bullrich (shopping center).

It is a privileged area of Buenos Aires and one of the districts most sought after. It has an easy access to Downtown BA, as well as to other districts of the city.
