Palermo Soho is an interesting neighborhood of Buenos Aires, which offers numerous bars, restaurants, antique shops, as well as designer clothing shops. This part of times is active even during the night, and is a famous nightlife spot. However, Palermo Soho wasn’t always as popular as it is today. This neighborhood used to be quite simple, resembling many other parts of Buenos Aires, but it has changed its face in the 2000s so as to become a unique meeting spot for younger people, a place with a fashionable, yet old-fashioned and rustic flair. All of the shops in Palermo Soho sell high-end fashion items, and many of the old buildings have been renovated.
This transformation was truly inevitable, but some older buildings still stand to give the area a special bohemian look. One such place is the Varela Barelita Bar, a place which will take you back in time an entire century.
The Gurruchaga Street still preserves its original cobbled surface, hosting many cafes, bars and shops. This street is a particularly attractive place for those who want to go for a long walk. Some of the shops in the street sell designer clothes and merchandise at great prices. In addition to this, the Gurruchaga Street hosts many hotels, as well as bed&breakfasts, all of which are very well furbished and guarantee that you will be satisfied with your visit to this neighborhood.
The Armenian Immigrant Square (Plaza de los Inmigrantes de Armenia) is the largest square in Palermo Soho. This paradise for the youngest is full of lush greenery, which makes it a beloved spot for the locals to spend their time at. Every Saturday, a market is organized here, where you can buy fruits and vegetables for a bargain, and this market attracts locals as well as tourists.
