An Argentinian street surprised many by being included in the ranking of the world's "coolest" streets . The digital magazine Time Out placed it 24th out of 31 , citing its culinary offerings, bars, culture, entertainment options, and strong sense of community.
The San Telmo Market is one of the major attractions
The French Solar Gallery , built in the 1930s, became a magnet for photographers thanks to its colorful umbrella-shaped roof. Upon entering, a painting of Domingo French and Antonio Luis Beruti during the May Revolution of 1810 serves as a reminder of the past.
Dorrego Square , considered a National Historic Monument, was the place where the people of Buenos Aires announced Independence in September 1816. Today, it is surrounded by 19th-century mansions that house restaurants and cafes.
The Pasaje Defensa invites you to travel back in time. This mansion, built in 1880, reflects the architecture of the era and was transformed into a shopping arcade in 1981. Inside, you'll find shops selling antiques, clothing, and souvenirs from Buenos Aires.
