A real MUST walk around when in Buenos Aires ? Also a place with many good restaurants serving famous Argentinian beef! So ... enjoy a wonderful steak and a few glasses of great and known Argentinian Malbec wines....

It was a fun walk, very scenic with a selection of cafes, bars and restaurants. Very close to San Telmo and worth a peek.

A great place to stroll. An old shipping port reinvigorated with seaside walkways, restaurants, stores and offices.

Me and my husband visited Puerto Madero due to its proximity to our hostel, so it was the first thing we saw in Buenos Aires (after The Obelisco of course, can't miss that one even if you try). We enjoyed the walk along the river, where we found an old ship we could visit for 2 pesos per person, the... More

Stayed at the Hilton in Puerto Madero. The area around it was very nice. People walking around at all hours. The restaurants, especially ones on the waterfront around it are a bit overpriced though. It doesn't surprise me though. An area like that in America would have overpriced restaurants also.

We liked everything. The skyline is new but was designed by the most important architects of the world.you can walk along the boardwalk, sit in one restaurant, have a drink in a nearby cafe. Very cosmopolitan

Probably one of the nicest neighborhoods in the city of Buenos Aires. Next to the river, modern, safe (a must in this city) full of restaurants. Very nice to walk around, especially on weekends.

The show was interesting, and intimate. The food was tasty. Well seasoned steak. However, avoid booking the transportation from your hotel. It's a shuttle. They picked us up and held us hostage for an hour and 15 minutes while the driver collected the other passengers.
