What people say

"This is a plaza in the heart of San Telmo, but it's also the main plaza for the Sunday market of San Telmo. The market stretches out several blocks from Plaza Dorrego all along Calle Defensa, and several other side streets. The entire market is alive with energy, visitors, and street performers. At the market you can find anything from equipment for mate, homemade knives, band T-shirts, paintings, vintage clothing, antiques, etc. This is the absolute best place to be on a Sunday. "
"At the heart of San Telmo, you'll find Plaza Dorrego, where street performers and tango dancers captivate the passers-by. Sit on a bench and enjoy the show! Don't miss the Feria de San Telmo, the antique street fair that runs there every Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm."
"Plaza Dorrego is a lively square in the heart of San Telmo. Here you can watch live tango performances and an antique fair takes place here on Sundays. The square is surrounded by bars and cafes making it a great place to socialize."

Mentioned in these guides

I have been living in Argentina for the past year (plus 5 months in Buenos Aires back in 2005). This is one of my favorite cities in the entire world, and I want to share with you what makes it so great. This 10 day itinerary begins on a Friday morning, and is arranged according to market schedules, or other events in the city that fall on particular days. But you can certainly do the activities out of order, and fit them to your schedule as needed. I have planned this 10-day itinerary to allow you to maximize your days, and hours in this amazing city, but still allow you to enjoy the small moments without feeling overwhelmed, and get rest when needed. I have spent around 100 hours researching, writing descriptions to give detailed information of every place mentioned in this itinerary, visiting and testing out each day; they are all genuine recommendations. I have carefully planned out and timed each activity, including transportation and time moving between sites. I have also linked related articles and videos from my blog and YouTube channel. This itinerary will provide you not only with daily activities, but information on how to get the best exchange rate, how to stay safe, and information for transportation- how to get from spot to spot, so you can put as little time into planning as possible. Let me do that for you! :) This is not the ideal itinerary for those seeking the nightlife and parties. It is full of morning, daytime, and evening activities (with a few optional activities that go into the night) to help you get to know the culture of Buenos Aires and Argentina. It does not include nightclubs. This is a great itinerary if you are coming to Buenos Aires for the first time and you want to see all the important places, along with a few extra gems. This can also serve if you live in the city but have friends and family coming to visit. I've got it all planned out for you! I have included a lot of walking in this itinerary, though I have attempted to concentrate each day in one particular area of the city whenever possible. However, the city is full of transportation options if you prefer less steps due to accessability issues, or fatigue. I strongly suggest reading through the entire itinerary at the beginning of the week in case there are places where you need to make a reservation. If so, it will be listed at the top of each day.
