Palermo: Parks, Designer Stores & Charm

Excursion in Buenos Aires

Tour Price : USD $99 for 1-3 people, USD $120 for 3-4 people Duration : 3 hours Languages: English, Spanish

Buenos Aires is a fascinating city to explore, but without a private guide you might miss some of its most remarkable spots! Palermo is one of the most attractive areas to discover. It isn’t a single uniform district, but rather a collection of smaller neighborhoods within one large area. One of its highlights is the 3 de Febrero Park, a place you should definitely visit—especially when the flowers are in bloom.

The park is beautifully maintained and offers plenty to enjoy: the astonishing beauty of El Rosedal, the rose garden; a small lagoon where you can rent a boat; and spacious green lawns where different sports activities often take place.

From there, we move on to Palermo Viejo, the oldest part of the district. It is known for its charming Spanish-style architecture, sometimes combined with modern elements. This was once home to iconic figures like Che Guevara and Jorge Luis Borges, and in the past, knife fights were a common scene in its streets. Today, the neighborhood has become a favorite spot for writers and artists, drawn by its unique atmosphere of history and tranquility.

On weekends, Cortázar Square comes alive with exhibitions where designers and artists present their work. From here, the tour often continues into Palermo Soho, a vibrant area full of shops, perfect for those who enjoy browsing and discovering something new.
