Tips from the community

If you find yourself in San Telmo with time to while away in a splendid, Buenos Aires icon, make your way to Café Rivas. Purchase a book in English from the opposite bookshop and park yourself here. San Telmo is arguably the city’s most charming area and it’s teeming with cobbled streets and colonial houses whose glory days are well behind them. It’s the oldest neighborhood in Buenos Aires and it plays host to the weekly Fería de San Telmo (San Telmo Antiques Fair) each Sunday. Visit then to enjoy live tango shows, shops, alfresco dining, and live performances galore.
