Zona San Telmo is a little older and more classic than some of the others
and a great place for antiques. Most of the pictures there are from a
stroll down Calle Humberto where you can find food, music, Tango shows,
freak shows and trinkets. Puerto Madero, on the other hand, is a
completely different type of neighborhood and home to some of the best
restaurants in Buenos Aires.
