Barracas is one of the most
traditional neighborhoods of Buenos Aires. It used to be one of the main aristocratic
redoubts back in the XIX Century, and nowadays is one of the fastest growing
areas of the city. Barracas is a mixture of old amazing architecture and
restyled houses, paving, tango bars and large green spaces. Close to Puerto
Madero, La Boca and San Telmo is a great non-traditional option to discover
Buenos Aires City.
Among the main touristic attractions
are: the Díaz Vélez Palace (110 Montes De Oca Avenue), Canale Factory (Martín
García Avenue in front of Lezama Park), Santa Lucía Parish (550 Montes De Oca
Avenue), Colombia Square (in the corner of Isabel La Católica and Brandsen
St.), Santa Felicitas Church (in front of Colombia Square), the Railroad
Neighborhood (2700 Australia St.) and the Lanin Passage (all the facades are
painted by famous neighbor and abstract artist Marino Santa María).
Other great attraction are the
many tango bars and restaurants located on Suárez Avenue and Iriarte Avenue.
The two most famous notable bars are: La Flor de Barracas and Los Laureles. In
both bars you can learn how to dance tango and enjoy great singer and
guitarists devoted to our national music. Also in Barracas is the Metropolitan
Design Center (CMD) in 1041 Algarrobo St.
Barracas has many great options
for you to discover. Come see the great places we have in Buenos Aires City.
Every one of them is close to our Hostel Colonial.
