From the windows of the Buenos Aires Hotel & Convention Center, the views are unbeatable. A sprawling city, comprised of myriad neighborhoods stretches out below. From San Telmo with its tango plazas, and Recoleto with its marvelous Design Center, each has its own distinct style. But no neighborhood can compete with Palermo Soho when it comes to shopping. The trendy barrio boasts the largest concentration of cool shops in the city.

Start your excursion at Calma Chicha, a colorful emporium filled with throw pillows and butterfly chairs covered in vivid fabrics and soft cowhides. It's smack dab in the middle of Honduras, the district's main thoroughfare stretching from Avenida Raul Scalabrini Ortiz to Avenida Juan B. Justo. A few doors down, Papelera Palermo is a stationary lover's dream come true. Stock up on wonderfully rustic photo albums, notebooks with Aztec inspired covers, and paper in every hue imaginable. For candy colored soaps head down Gurruchaga to a modern boutique where the Sabater siblings continue the family business by offering time-tested soaps reinvented for a new generation. If you can tear your nose away from the box of magnolia scented soap leaves, loop over to Armenia where you can plop down on one of Bar 6's velvet settees or sidle up to a farm table and refuel on tostados and stir fries before heading back out for the second leg of your Palermo Soho spree. You won't want to miss the dozens of independent designer fashion boutiques that line these picturesque streets. Do you have a favorite? We'd love to know. Watch the video for more great ideas on what to do in Palermo Soho.
