The area
Neighborhood: Recoleta
Characterized by the French-style mansions which are the legacy of its aristocratic past, Recoleta is the true “Paris of the South.” Walking around this neighborhood is an experience like no other in Buenos Aires: its streets are lined with elegant apartment buildings, exclusive boutiques, and former mansions turned into high-end hotels and embassies, which exude an alluring air of sophistication and class. You'll also find a rich cultural scene centered on the National Museum of Fine Arts, the National Library, and the Recoleta Cultural Center; as well as some great shopping spots, like the Buenos Aires Design Mall with an artists' fair set up in Plaza Francia every weekend.

handcrafted and authentic that's what it's all about. You will be even able to use a credit card when paying, surely you'll find something you like. Earrings, bags, carpets, dolls, and much more.

There are many Ferias in Buenos Aires - this is one of my favourite. There is a wide range on offer. I like the silver jewellery, the Art works and leather and non-leather bags. You can get things for yourself or for gifts. There are good restaurants nearby and the Cemetaria is near if you wanted to combine that or one of the museums. Good location and good feria.

Really nice hand crafted art goods. Leather, jewelry, paintings, woven crafts and great location next to cemetery. No junk. Very relaxing to meander by booths without large crowds. Good prices. Probably over 60+ vendors.

I stumbled upon the Féria de Artesanos de Plaza Francia in route to the National Museum of Art on a Saturday. It’s not anywhere near as large as the San Telmo Féria, but there were probably 150+ vendors. Lots of leather goods, jewelry and clothing. Nice knitwear for babies, children and women. Several booths with attractive lightweight casual women’s clothing. Some nice handcrafted art - wood, glass, ceramics; a fair amount of cheap junk as well. I spoke with several of the vendors and none were willing to negotiate prices. The pricing did seem higher than at San Telmo. I left with a couple of treasures so it was well worth my time. If you only have time for one and you’re in town on a Sunday, go to San Telmo. Lots of the same or similar merchandise, but I did see some things here that I didn’t see at San Telmo, and vice versa.

We spent a Saturday at this open air market. There are very nice vendors, but this is tourist trade stuff. It’s worth an hour to wander around, not much more.

few handmade and scarce original craftsmanship. prices are quite commercial and the whole experience is just a cheap treat. only visit this attraction if you are stranded in town and have never seen any of the sort.
once you have seen one, you have seen them all.

You´ll find different types of crafmans, from painters to woodworkers. There are coffeshops, restorants and the famous argentine barbacue. There is the classy cementery of recoleta where the richiest argentinian are burried. There are also parks and an incredible Buenos Aires architecture.

I'm not sure if it's because it is winter and the weather today was fairly average, or if this is a common thing, but when we went around midday more than half the available stalls at the market weren't even set up. Of those that were there a lot were selling the same kind of average wares. There were a few gems though - I particularly liked one stall selling handmade leather dog collars and leads. Overall though, it may be better to visit this market in warmer months.

This square turns into a well organized arts and crafts market built by the city administration, keeping it clean, safe and very well organized !
The stalls have a huge variety of hand made goods of good quality and taste for resanable prices ;))
Worth coming after a quick visit to Recoletas cemitery !

As will all ferias you shouldn't touch the wares without asking first. Also the prices aren't fixed so you can expect prices to be higher for foreigners. For the best rate, walk around the Féria once without saying anything, then bring back an Argentine friend to do the haggling.
