Palermo Viejo: Tour, travel, apartment, hotel & city guide Buenos Aires
Palermo Viejo or old Palermo is home to the trendsetting bars and clubs, great eating and the best shopping in Buenos Aires. I love this part of Buenos Aires, it is where I tend to spend far too many evenings and know far too many bartenders and shop girls on first name terms. I intend to write about my favourite shops and bars later this year. So book mark this page. This part of Palermo is dissected in two by a railway track and multiple crossings that create Palermo Hollywood to the north and Palermo Soho to the south.
The north is a great residential neighbourhood and famed for TV and radio production. There are lots of very quiet residential streets and this area is chosen by many of our clients who prefer quality dwellings, peace and quiet right next door to party Palermo Soho.
We have tons of great apartments and houses in these two areas and no matter what sort of Buenos Aires Stay you intend, Palermo has got to be top of your where to stay list. It is expensive, but still great value. We have a constant battle with landlords over price, but supply and demand have made this one of the more expensive areas. Holidays come but once a year for most of us - this is well worth the extra Pesos. Click here to see luxury apartments in Buenos Aires best and safest barrios.
Palermo Soho is part of old Palermo and is a fantastic neighbourhood of smashing low rise buildings that extend from the leafy cobble stoned Plaza Serrano, also known as Plaza Cortázar. These expensively renovated buildings are home to some of the trendiest bars, international restaurants, art galleries, design studios and the trendy young crowds who frequent them. This neighbourhood is alive with Buenos Aires’ most vibrant nightlife with some of the best pubs and clubs and gay bars.
Palermo and Buenos Aires in general has embraced the pink Pesos and Buenos Aires is a gay friendly destination. We have more information on Gay Buenos Aires on the website.
Palermo Soho catches Buenos Aires’ great panache in the many boutiques that make this a shopper paradise. I often shop in Soho and stop for lunch at the many good eateries. I am always amazed by the quality and first-world designs offered by young Buenos Aires designers. If you have eaten your fill of barbecued meats, then you are definitely in the right area for great food. Please book mark this page as I will review some of my favourite Palermo Restaurants later in the year. Click here to read about Belgrano, Puerto Madero, Recoleta and San Telmo.
