BETTER STAYING IN DOWNTOWN (By Hostel Buenos Aires)
When you’re a tourist and you’re visiting a city for the first time, where to stay is the greatest dilemma. Every person who has visited the place will have its say; every hostel web site will extol its location. But those virtues might not be the most cherished by tourism. In Buenos Aires, the three most frequent areas to stay are: Downtown (the first and most traditional), San Telmo and Palermo. Hostel Colonial -located in Downtown- gives you three good reasons (the proximity to sightsees, transportation and security) to choose the area.
The proximity to sightsees: the first thing a traveler seeks, the reason why tourism exists, is to visit and get to know the most particular and traditional of each city. Hardly, somebody would visit Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower, or skips the Empire State in NYC. In Buenos Aires, the logic indicates you must see the Obelisco, visit Plaza de Mayo, the Casa Rosada, the Congress and Puerto Madero. All this places that open tourist guides, are located on Downtown Buenos Aires or just 10 blocks away from it. Here is Hostel Colonial too.
Transportation: probably the second thing that facilitates to get to know and move round the city is transportation. Those who have traveled a lot thank the presence of a subway and a good coverage of the urban transportation. As Downtown is the financial, historic and cultural center of our city, all the transportation departs or arrives here. In a simple way, you can reach any destination. This is something you won’t find in remote neighborhoods as San Telmo and Palermo, where walking to the transportation is inevitable.
Security: it’s perhaps the most important factor for many travelers. Being Downtown the most traditional tourist area, where banks and financial entities have their headquarters, is the most secured zone in Buenos Aires. In fact, the first police station of our city is just around the corner of Hostel Colonial, and the Police Headquarters are just 15 block away.
