Day Two
Stroll through this colonial neighborhood's cobbled streets and window-shop for
antiques. Come on a Sunday, when the famous
Feria de San Telmo
street market
takes over the neighborhood. Book a tour to the stunning
El Zanjón de Grana-
dos
for a peek into the city's origins.
Lunch
A sidewalk table at Bar Plaza Dorrego (

) for great people-watching.
The colorful corrugated houses along
El Caminito
are indeed photogenic, though
this area is a bit of a tourist trap. It's still fun, however; check out the souvenir
shops and artists' paintings and perhaps catch a street-tango show. Art lovers
shouldn't miss
Fundación Proa
, a cutting-edge gallery, while soccer fans can head to La
Bombonera stadium and visit the Boca team's
Museo de la Pasión Boquense
. But
whatever you do, don't stray too far from the tourist hordes; La Boca is at times a rough
neighborhood.
Dinner
Try exceptional international cuisine at Café San Juan (

).
Catch a tango show at
El Viejo Almacén
, a long-running venue. Or go drinking at
one of the many great watering holes in the area, from
Gibraltar
(an English pub)
to
Doppelgänger
(an upscale cocktail bar).
