“The northern” districts are characterized by their European appearance and have been– since the end of the XIX century- the most chosen residential areas of the city’s upper class member. This tour examines the origins of the so called “South American Paris” underlying the life style of the old families during the Porteña belle époque. San Martin Square “embraced” by palaces, Palermo Chico and Pellegrini petit square are thoroughly visited. We also go indoors and walk around one of the most stupendous palaces, walk alongside forested boulevards and parks that were designed for leisure time enjoyment, we survey the celebrated monuments erected at the Centennial of the May Revolution (1910) and visit the remarkable Recoleta cemetery.
