An affluent barrio just next to Palermo which houses the Buenos Aires rich and famous.
In Recoleta you'll find incredible mansions, gorgeous 5* hotels and some incredible culture and nightlife.
There's a wealth of museums and galleries in the day, and also many of some of Latin America's best dance clubbing experiences make Recoleta their home. There's a good gay scene here as well.
San Nicolás and Puerto Madero are two barrios close to the centre of Buenos Aires, just underneath Recolta.
San Nicolás, often referred to as 'El Centro' is one of the busiest areas of the city. Some fun facts: Avenida 9 de Julio is the widest street in the world, and El Obelisk, an iconic monument has been guised with many fun decorations over the years including a gigantic pink condom!
Puerto Madero is the old dock that has recently been regenerated. You'll find endless gourmet eateries (the steakhouses are our favorite) and monolithic high-rises. There's also a huge nature reserve that's great for getting a breath of fresh air from the city.
