1. Visit San Telmo: This is the oldest district of the city and still maintains its colonial air with its cobblestone streets. The drawback is that there are many tourists, especially on Sundays when there is the famous fair. However, we recommend visiting San Telmo. The Plaza Dorrego, the antique shops and the art galleries are a must.

2. Recoleta Cemetery: Recoleta is one of the most distinguished neighborhoods of the city and a residential district famous for its French style buildings and large parks. Besides walking around the neighborhood, we recommend going to the cemetery. It may sound strange, but the walk between the graves is worthwhile. There are graves of famous poets, athletes and even former presidents of the country. It has an imperial air and is one of the world's most famous cemeteries.

3. La Boca: This is a portside district that reflects the great European immigration wave of the nineteenth century. Actually it’s not a nice neighborhood to live and it's quite poor, but we recommend the famous Caminito street, a ideal place where you will only find tourist. The walk was an idea of the famous painter Benito Quinquela Martin, whose museum is located very near Caminito. We recommend visiting it. La Boca will surprise you with its colorful houses and nostalgic atmosphere. It is also home to the famous Bombonera, the stadium of Boca Juniors, an Argentinean soccer team.
