Plaza Dorrego

A great place to experience local culture! Lively atmosphere with tango dancers, street artists, antique stalls, and cafés all around. Perfect spot to sit back with a drink and watch Buenos Aires come alive. 💃☕️🇦🇷

The small square in the middle of local building will definitely suprise you. The all square is planted by small tables for quick launch with rapid or beers or cocktails. But the real gem of the square -> Argentinian tango. Grab you seat. Take some beers and enjoy every second. The life is good. In the evening they have a vocal band.

I would like give a review to Feria de San Telmo, which takes place every Sunday on Plaza Dorrego. If you are interested in antique jewelry, plates, statuettes, etc. then you have to definitely visit Feria de San Telmo. It is smaller than some of European flea markets, but still big for Latin America with better prices than in Europe👍

The heart and soul of the old Buenos Aires. A lot of antiques and vintage pieces. A great cultural experience in a very bohemian neighbourhood. Here you can watch tango for free and some live music. The fair also extends through the whole square and down the street up to Plaza de Mayo.

Finally stayed near the square in San Telmo – something I had been planning for a long time. Except for late at night and very early in the morning, there’s always life here: music playing, people passing by, a pleasant, constant background hum. Just sit down with a coffee, watch the world go by, and let time slip gently past.

Fun, safe and you can probably find anything you want lol. A looong walk and so much fun. Alot of hand crafted arts.

Lively and fun neighborhood to visit when in Buenos Aires. Colorful and active. Old cobble stone streets, shops, restaurants, bars, huge indoor market and eatery - Mercado San Telmo. Lots of delicious food stalls. Sundays bring a huge outdoor craft and antique market. Plaza Dorrego is loaded with antiques. Excellent free lance entertainment everywhere. Gets very crowded since tourism is on the rise. I don’t stay after dark. I’ve heard it can get sketchy as bars overflow. But great place to visit. Don’t miss it!

Dorrego Square! This plaza is like seeing everything Argentinian all at once. This place is amazing! I went by here on a weekend, when they were holding the weekend antique market. This small square packs in the action. There was a dance troupe doing tango demonstrations. Their loudspeakers drew in the crowd, and they put on a thirty minute show that involved all the histories of tango dance. Around the plaza, they had antique stalls set up, selling seltzer bottles, signs painted up in the Argentinian lettering style, old records, pins, lamps, sculptures, lots of pictures of Evita. Around the exterior of the square, there are cool restaurants, bars, and antique shops. Most of the bars focus on tango and accordion music. When I went, there was an accordion player in the street, playing Yankee Doodle on the accordion when I walked by... This scenic bar is right in the heart of San Telmo, which is a really neat old neighborhood with scenic buildings, and the whole art fair on the weekend.
