Plaza Dorrego

The Piazza Dorego is located in the heart of San Telmo, which was the hub of the city of Barrio in the nineteenth century, when the city was the focus of its activities. Thanks to the help of the Municipal Museums Committee, the buildings around the square have maintained their original designs. Now, the square has been surrounded by cafes, bars and pubs, making it crowded with the shops' tables and chairs, with several antique shops nearby, and with street musicians and tango dancers everywhere.

Cloth city's customs, artistic temperament, all kinds of colorful art goods are dazzling, the street everywhere singing and dancing, let you fully feel you in the passion of South America...The festival decoration is beautiful, in the not far away, it is worth going.

Try any of the finest local beers, although is not really local, it's part of a global company. Tango time!

Plaza Dorrego is the central plaza in San Telmo. It is the location of the Sunday Market Fair (Ferria de San Telmo) and is surrounding by beautiful old architecture, bars, cafes and restaurants, antique shops and much more.

I went here during the weekly Sunday street fair and it was a feast for the senses. If you are in San Telmo, this is a must go place. There were vendors, artist and street performers. This is the best place to buy souvenirs as there are a lot of options and the prices are relatively cheaper. Be very careful of pick pockets.

at sunday's very good!

Come for the tango. Come for the art and antiques. Come for the bohemian district that is San Telmo. Heck, just come to Bar Dorrego and have a submarino (if you don't know what this is, I'm going to tell you to trust me and order it if you like hot chocolate). And when you're done exploring San Telmo, try dinner at El Baqueano nearby (waaay advanced reservations required) or make your way over to Puerto Madero.
