Hippe and historic district tour through Buenos Aires

Who tells of Buenos Aires, can hardly speak of "the city" as with any metropolis. Each district has its milieu and
its own charm. The result is the large overall composition of the Argentine capital. A tour of the most exciting neighborhoods.
The alternative: San Telmo is part of the original core of the metropolis. The houses are old, some of them
expire or are occupied. Strolling through the streets, you will encounter trendy cafés, where students and
artists gonna wind. Sunday nights heard the yard of an abandoned house at the Church of San Pedro Gonzalez Telmo
all the folklore: On the Peña is so passionately danced to live music Chacarera that stirs up dust.
There are empanadas and Choripan, grilled sausage in bread.
The contrast: In Puerto Madero worlds collide. Glittering skyscrapers rise behind grasses of a nature reserve.
The high-rise buildings belong to the formerly neglected, today modernized harbor area. Approaching the Delta,
one stands in the middle of the nature reserve La Reserva Ecológica. Here whir through the swampy foothills of
the Río de la Plata dragonflies, even when heat joggers turn their rounds. There are nature amidst the metropolis!
The Hippe: Even the "New York Times" called Palermo already hip - at least one of its four parts:
life in Palermo Soho, work and sell the creators - the area in the district extends between the streets Santa Fe,
Coronel Diaz, Cordoba and Juan B. Justo. In Palermo we meet: a morning coffee, a mate between a beer in the evening
and to celebrate all night. The latter is best in Palermo Hollywood.
The Past: In the old port district of La Boca was once the Tango. From him here business is done:
Before the restaurants dancing couples, accordion player waiting for a tip. When moving away from the tourist hubs,
one experiences the district, as he really is: alive - but you can see him in his poverty. Children kick on the road,
 their big idols play next door at the Stadium of probably the most popular clubs in the country, Boca Juniors.
The Elegant: Who verschlägt to Recoleta, who has money - or he works here. Although it is one of the business
district of the city, there are worthwhile excursion points: The El Cemetery Recoleta invites you to stroll devout -
 besides monumental grave figures can also the final resting place of Evita Perón are visited. Not to be missed are
the stately mansions from the 19th century, the sporadically between the modern buildings are shown in
the Avenida Alvear.
