Welcome to Retiro, one of the most emblematic and touristic neighbourhoods in Buenos Aires, where history intertwines with modernity in every corner. The name of this district dates back to the XNUMXth century, recognized since then by the Casa del Retiro, built at the intersection of the current Arenales and Maipú streets.
With a rich and diverse history, Retiro is one of the most aristocratic areas of the city, where the European imprint of the early XNUMXth century is evident in every detail. Here, you can discover incredible palaces built by the wealthiest families of the time, as well as the emblematic Notable Bars that retain the charm of yesteryear.
Don't miss the recently opened Mercado de los Carruajes, which offers a unique experience between tradition and modernity. In addition, Calle Florida awaits you with a wide range of shops to satisfy all your tastes and needs.
Retiro is known for its attractive Plaza San Martín, a green oasis in the middle of the urban bustle, and for the emblematic Calle Florida, famous for its shops and businesses. From its beginnings away from the original layout of the city, Retiro has witnessed important events that have marked the life of Buenos Aires.
In the XNUMXth century, during a yellow fever epidemic, this neighbourhood became a refuge for high society families in search of healthier air. Today, Retiro is a symbol of elegance and sophistication, with wide squares, stately residences and luxury hotels that reflect its glorious past and vibrant present.
