WHY PALERMO?

Tourists to Buenos Aires often envision Palermo as a neighborhood brimming with cultural spots, a mix of old and new architecture, beautiful parks and gardens, and a lively nightlife. While Palermo encompasses all of this, it offers even more. As the largest neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Palermo stands as one of the city's iconic areas. It is divided into smaller districts such as historic Palermo Viejo, trendy Palermo Soho, and Palermo Hollywood, each featuring eclectic restaurants, both national and international culinary delights, and fashionable stores.

Once a sleepy, middle-class barrio, Palermo has transformed into a creative hub. Entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, entertainers, baristas, and art collectives have all contributed to its emergence as a trendy hotspot.

Reflecting the essence of Buenos Aires, Palermo functions as a series of distinctive communities, each with its own unique character.. and each of these characters possesses a magical charm that is easy to fall in love with.
