The area

Neighborhood: Palermo
Best known as the largest neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Palermo is divided into different quarters, each with its own unique identity. The high-end quarter is Palermo Chico, characterized by magnificent mansions, regal avenues, and exclusive apartment buildings, and home to the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires (MALBA), a favorite amongst locals. The largest park in the city, the Bosques de Palermo, is Palermo's most famous landmark and a popular destination for nature walks, picnics, rollerblading, and cycling. The scene becomes much trendier in Palermo Soho, a hip area known for its cool cafés and unique design stores, filled with shoppers on weekends; and Palermo Hollywood, renowned for the numerous restaurants, bars and nightclubs, which make it the preferred spot for nights out and special occasions.

    Nice neighborhood in Buenos Aires
    My wife and I spent three nights in the Palermo neighborhood during a recent visit to Buenos Aires. It is a vibrant area with lots of restaurants, coffee shops and parks. It has a lot of streets that are lined with Sycamore trees that adds to the ambiance.

    Nice area of BA
    We visited the Palmero area and took a food tour. It's a nice part of BA and has many restaurants with excellent food. There is some shopping and other nightlife as well. The buildings are well maintained and it seemed safe.

    Did a walking tour of Palermo and found it to be both safe & trendy. A real vibrant neighbourhood with plenty of food & drink choices. Plus, lots of shops and boutique choices. The place on a Saturday afternoon/evening was jumping and is a popular spot in BA by the crowds we encountered. A great location to explore.

    Palermo
    This was an incredible area to stay in Buenos Aires, a really safe place and with great views from where we stayed. You can be able to walk from here to different interested places around. You should not miss this area if you are in BA.

Walkable neighborhoods
Jan 2020
I guess I was expecting there to be a "there". Palermo is walkable, tree lined and full of shops and eateries nestled between tall apartment buildings. Depending on the day or hour, it is either bustling or deadly quiet. Some streets nicer than others but a lot of them look like they have seen better days.

A neighborhood for deep pockets
Jan 2023 • Family
A neighborhood known worldwide for luxury and eccentricities has must-see places such as the Japanese Garden, others in full transformation such as its former zoo, its traditional parks and its shopping centers. Someone might respond that if you go to a luxurious place, that luxury has a cost, but in Palermo it is very expensive to buy from a street stall, or from a street vendor in the park.
The planetarium, a classic meeting point, is collapsing so it requires purchasing the ticket online in advance. Cycle lanes inconvenience pedestrians since cyclists usually do not respect their traffic lights, although on the other hand it is the Buenos Aires place that uses them the most.
As for its rediscovered gastronomy, it has brought its prices to levels that are difficult to sustain even for foreign tourists.

Beautiful and Wooded
May 2023
We visited the forests of Palermo and the entire region close to Plaza Italia station. The neighborhood is very beautiful, safe, tree-lined, with many squares, monuments and good places to walk. For those who have a day in Buenos Aires to take a more peaceful trip close to nature, it's worth it.

Nice, safe neighborhood
Jan 2020
Our hotel was located in Palermo - right between apartment buildings. We felt safe and comfortable walking around -during the day the neighborhood is very quiet. We loved the graffiti painted on bars, shops and restaurants.

Numerous great things to do
Nov 2022
This area of Buenos Aires is another great place to walk. Lots of cafe's and good places to eat. Also many beautiful parks. To make the most of spending time in Palermo, do some research and narrow your choices & what you most want or you will be overwhelmed. The places to eat, shop, walk, etc. are numerous. Make the most of your time there by having some ideas in advance. Plan on at least 1/2 day. You will want to return.

Palermo is trendy, slick and has its own vibe
Jan 2020
My wife and I walked around this area several times during a recent stay in Buenos Aires. Palermo is full of culture and lots of fun to visit. Palermo is Buenos Aires’ largest barrio and also one of its most walkable, with tree-lined streets. Palermo is really a neighborhood of neighborhoods. Each sub-neighborhood has its own nickname and a different feel: Palermo Chico, Palermo Soho, Palermo Hollywood, Alto Palermo, Plaza Italia, Las Cañitas and Villa Freud.

Nice neighbourhood, worth walking around
Mar 2020 • Friends
We did a bus tour and were able to get off in the Palermo neighbourhood. We felt it was pretty safe and walked around the local area. The streets are colourful in bits and there was a nice feel generally. We would have liked to go back in the evening but sadly this was not possible.

Beautiful and charming
Sep 2023 • Couples
Without a doubt, this is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Buenos Aires today. We rented an apartment and stayed there for several days. Clean, tree-lined streets welcome many new and modern buildings. They contrast with beautiful old buildings. There are still dozens of great restaurant options in Palermo.

Excellent area of the city for walking and exploring
Oct 2019
Stayed in this neighbourhood for a week and had a great time just getting out exploring and eating. There are a lot of great restaurants and eating establishments as well as night entertainment and clubs. Good area to walk day or night and felt very safe.
Take time to get out and explore and enjoy the sites!
