Palermo Viejo (old Palermo) is home to trendsetting bars and clubs, great restaurants and the best shopping in Buenos Aires. A railway track dissects this neighbourhood to create Palermo Hollywood to the north and Palermo Soho to the south. Palermo Viejo’s boutiques, rooftop restaurants and lavish homes represent Nuevo-Chic- Buenos Aires glistening with fashion and style.
From Palermo Viejo, visitors easily connect to touristic points of the city. Bus route 152 provides quick transportation to Recoleta in 10 minutes and El Centro (downtown) in 25 minutes. The D Line subte (subway) runs through Palermo Viejo and stations are Palermo, Plaza Italia and Scalabrini Ortiz. The stations are five blocks apart and less than 3 minutes apart. Scalabrini Ortiz is the closest stop to El Centro, and the journey takes less than 15 minutes. These times are estimates and depend on traffic on the roads and time. A quick tip, plan breakfast and your high tea at peak transport times as it stinks!
Famous Argentine heroes Jorge Luis Borges and Che Guevara took residence in Palermo Viejo when it was still a sleepy residential barrio. Along with these great legends lived immigrant communities of Ukrainian, Polish, Armenian and Lebanese descent. Their cultures still live on in the daily street life, religious centres, and fabulous international restaurants.
