Destination: Buenos Aires
Markets Text Size A A A
Feria Plaza Francia
Just outside Buenos Aires Design Center, and across the street from Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, craftsmen set up booth after booth offering sterling-silver and beaded jewelry, belts, gourd-like cups and silver straws used to drink maté (a caffeinated tea popular in South America) and children’s sweaters and ponchos made of alpaca wool. Open Saturday and Sunday 9 A.M.–7 P.M.
Feria San Pedro Telmo
Take a taxi to Defensa Street at Plaza Dorrego for the weekly street fair, dense with merchants selling tango memorabilia and collectibles. Browse the area’s antiques shops (for a less chaotic scene conducive to more serious shopping, return to these shops during the week, when it’s less crowded) and wander between street performers—from clowns to tango dancers—and artisans displaying their inexpensive jewelry and crafts on blankets set up on the cobblestoned streets and sidewalks. Open Sunday 10 A.M.–5 P.M.
