I went on a Wednesday and was afraid of missing the Sunday market. But I found it very enjoyable to have a leisurely stroll without a lot of people. The artisans and shop owners actually conversed with us in a friendly way. Probably my favorites were la defense, the San telco mercado, plaza santo Domingo and an awesome vintage shop off of plaza San Domingo. Enjoy!

A different part of buenos aires with boutique shops and lots of antiques available. Great place to hang around at night on weekends. Lovely fair in sunday mornings.

I'm a little.... so-so when it comes to antique fairs. But I decided to go to San Telmo regardless, and it was definitely enjoyable. There are a lot of historic houses in the area (albeit a bit run down), and miles and miles of stalls on Defensa. The plaza itself is also crammed packed. It's the fairly standard antiques fair stuff - I'm not entirely sure if there was anything particularly unique or different.

I went to this district twice, once on a Sunday to see the amazing antiques market, it was amazing and there were so many beautiful shops as well as stalls. Never seen so much gorgeous stuff in one place - wish I wasn't travelling! I went back a few days later to El Zanjon which was an extraordinary experience - a restored building where once the rivers ran through, tunnels, beautifully restored, fantastic guides, outstanding resotration. Add it to your MUST DO list in BA for a unqiue experience.
