Close to the city’s best parks, this quiet residential area of Palermo is conveniently close to major sights

Palermo Chico

This upmarket area of Palermo, spreads between Santa Fe Av. and Libertador Av., its only a few blocks away from some of the city’s most beautiful parks.

 

This exclusive, far more traditional-looking area in terms of architecture, features some of the most luxurious French-style 1960-era mansions that this city has to offer, along with a few grand buildings turned into embassies.

 

A gem still undiscovered by visitors, and only a few steps away from MALBA museum, its origins go back as far as 1912, when architect Carlos Thays had a vision of curvy irregular streets  surrounded by abundant green spaces embellished in big part by local vegetation. Jacarandás, Palos Borrachos and Ceibos are the most common trees in Buenos Aires.

 

Not far from here the Japanese Garden can be spotted. An enchanted park that honors its name with small wooden bridges that connecting classical Japanese gardens surrounding an artificial lake. You'll be delighted with the restaurant inside this establishment serving tea, pastries, and a few Japanese dishes such as sushi and teriyaki chicken.
