January in Buenos Aires
Palermo is the most enjoyable base for most visitors: restaurants, bars, boutiques and parks, with Soho and Hollywood offering different paces. Recoleta is quieter, grander and closer to the museums and the famous cemetery, with the highest hotel prices. San Telmo and Puerto Madero split the historic, bohemian south from the polished waterfront; San Telmo is atmospheric but rough at night, Puerto Madero is safe and sterile.
