Shopping: Outdoor Markets Frommer

The antiques market in San Telmo, which takes place every Sunday from 10am to 5pm at Plaza Dorrego, is a vibrant, colorful experience. As street vendors sell their heirlooms, singers and dancers move amid the crowd to the music of tangos and milongas. Among the 270-plus vendor stands, you will find antique silversmith objects, porcelain, crystal, and other antiques.

Plaza Francia's Fair, at avenidas del Libertador and Pueyrredón, offers ceramics, leather goods, and arts and crafts amidst street musicians and performers. It's held Sunday from 9am to 7pm.
