Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood: The coolest areas in town

One of the most popular and lively neighborhoods in Buenos Aires is probably

Palermo, specifically Palermo Viejo. The Palermo neighborhood, being the

largest in the city, is naturally divided into several sectors, each one with an

unofficial name and a particular aspect and characteristic that differentiates it.

“Palermo Viejo” or Old Palermo is named like that for its low houses from

yesteryear times and is made up of two micro-neighborhoods; Palermo Soho and

Palermo Hollywood.

A cool little street in the heart of Palermo Soho

Palermo Soho is one of the coolest, colorful and most vibrant places in the whole

city, where we can enjoy street art, clothing stores, craft fairs and numerous bars

and restaurants. This bohemian and youthful wooded neighborhood with cobbled

streets is the perfect place to visit on a Friday night and enjoy with friends or visit

during the day and take amazing pictures. It is delimited by Santa Fé, Scalabrini

Ortíz, Juan B. Justo and Córdoba avenues.

On the other hand we have Palermo Hollywood, characterized by its television

and film studios, its name referring to the district that is located in the city of Los

Angeles. As an attraction we can highlight its numerous restaurants and its varied

gastronomic offer. Food shops take a special dedication to the design and

decoration of their restaurants. Palermo Hollywood is usually attractive to many

young chefs who come to this neighborhood to open their restaurants. Another

interesting thing we can do in this neighborhood is to visit the Flea Market, located

at Av. Dorrego and Alvarez Thomas. This market has more than 150 stores where

we can find all kinds of handicrafts, furniture and collectibles.

We highly recommend visiting Palermo, either during day or night time, there is always something fun to do and a cool restaurant/bar to visit. A great place to know not only locals but people from all over the globe, specially during Happy Hour or at night on weekends, where bars are open until late at night.
