Continuing on our exploration of Buenos Aires brings us to San Telmo, the oldest neighborhood in the city. San Telmo stands out as having some of the best preserved colonial structures in Argentina. Throughout the years the cobblestone streets have seen their fair share of tourists, but the cafés, tango parlors and antique shops that line them have managed to keep their original charm.
San Telmo is brought to life by the artists and dancers that frequent 
its streets. The main public square of Plaza Dorrego is a constant stream of pleasant traffic, and is also home to a semi-permanent antique fair and tango shows on Sundays.
Visitors can also stop by the Museo Histórico Nacional on Parque Lezama or the San Pedro Telmo, one of the neighborhoods most famous churches. San Telmo is a great place to explore a little of the history of Buenos Aires, and is especially full of life on the weekends, Sunday in particular.
