TOURS: PALERMO

In this extensive neighbourhood there are two areas of a marked architectural difference: Palermo Chico, where the great lakes and parks should be highlighted, and Palermo Viejo, a traditional neighbourhood with wide streets and old mansions.
Palermo Chico: this small area is characterized by its exclusivity and lack of shops. Its streets are circular almost forming a small maze. Sightseeing through those streets, we can observe the sumptuous palaces with French architectural style with large gardens.
Palermo Viejo is an old neighbourhood made up of broad tree-lined streets and that in recent years has become a very attractive neighbourhood for Porteños as for tourists. On the other hand, this neighbourhood is divided into Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood. It has been developed, and now offers a wide range of bars and restaurants, as well as shops with fashion clothes and decoration.
