Markets and Fairs in Buenos Aires

Why go

San Telmo's Sunday fair spreads through public streets, while its covered market has a different mix of food and permanent stalls. Other neighbourhood fairs may be occasional or seasonal. Decide whether you want browsing, a meal or serious collecting before crossing the city. Keep valuables secure in dense crowds and confirm the current operating day with an official city or market source.

Useful to know

• Confirm current schedules, fares and access with the responsible operator before relying on a time-sensitive plan.
