What to do in Microcentro? - Places to visit ,

Many believe that it is a neighborhood where they see the obelisk, take a photo and continue on.
Here I give you an idea about options to take advantage of your stay in downtown enjoying both the day and its nights.

What can this neighborhood that is in the heart of the Federal Capital offer us?

The first thing you have to know is that we are not talking about a traditional neighborhood, since technically Microcentro is a financial area / zone made up of two neighborhoods, San Nicolás and Montserrat.

These are nourished by a wide variety of options to make our stay a memorable experience: Category hotels and restaurants for all budgets, bars with our famous craft beers, not forgetting the nightclubs that have many options for all tastes, from the usual "after office" to parties that last well into the dawn.

Let's start by choosing our place of lodging, this will depend on our budget and tastes:

Hotels in Downtown:

The most strategic place to stay is near the Obelisk, with Diagonal Norte, Av. Corrientes and Avenida 9 de Julio (Between Av. Santa Fe and Av. de Mayo) being the streets that will guide us in reference to this point.

The golden rule to follow is that the closer we are, the easier it will be to reach the vast majority of places that I am going to mention throughout this introduction, and it will also make it easier for us to find our way around when we are on the street without having to use our cell phone so much. .

In Microcentro we have hotels of all kinds. A good recommendation is to choose a hotel with categories greater than 3 stars.. In this way, it will not only provide us with greater comfort but also more security and peace of mind over our objects, something that may not happen in other types of accommodation such as hostels or shared rooms.

In summary: you will find options for all budgets, even those of greater luxury and comfort.

Restaurants in Microcentro:
