Renting an temporary apartment in the neighborhood of Belgrano is a really interesting choice for those who want see it all and yet they wish to rest. The neighborhood of Belgrano is located in the North-West region of the Capital City of Buenos Aires. This gives every tourist the chance to rent a temporary apartment and be a few minutes away from the main touristic areas, the downtown area and the Northern region of Buenos Aires.
Belgrano is a residential and commercial neighborhood. This will give you the chance to rest quietly and at the same time, go shopping, have a drink or go out to dineer at any time. Moreover, Belgrano and its Avenida Cabildo have a great number of means of transport in order you can get wherever you want. The fastest of all is the Metro. The "D" line will take you downtown in just about minutes.
Within the neighborhood of Belgrano, just as in Palermo, there are some subdivisions: Belgrano R, Belgrano C, Bajo Belgrano, Barrio Chino [China Town], Barrio River (within the Bajo Belgrano).
One of the places you can visit during your temporary rental in Belgrano is China Town. During the weekends there are more things to see, and more people. Here, you may buy typical food and vegetables that you can't find everywhere. Even though this “sub-neighborhood” is smaller than many other china towns in the world, it is a picturesque place to visit.
If you choose to stay in a temporary apartment in Belgrano, you will have some touristic options nearby, such as:
- Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción [Immaculate Conception Church]: It is known as "La Redonda” [The Round]. This church is famous for the many characters from novels that went through there. One of the most famous ones are Ernesto Sabato’s ghosts in “On heroes and Tombs”. With its Greco-Roman style, this church is surrounded by green, and by a colonial-like house known as “la Recova de la Vicaría”.
- You may also visit some museums in Belgrano, such as the “Museo Historico Sarmiento” and the “Museo Larreta”.
- Something that all football fans cannot miss is the "River Plate" Stadium.
- Another point that might interest you is the “Club Hipico Argentino” [Argentine Riding Club]
As we have mentioned previously, in just a few minutes time, you can be in the downtown area and the main touristic areas of the city. On the other hand, those river and calmness lovers, can go to the northern area also in a few minutes.
The neighborhood of Belgrano is a different choice, ideal to rest and tour around the city of Buenos Aires, while you are in the comfort of your temporary apartment.
