The area
Address
Neighbourhood: San Telmo
Characterized by cobblestones and narrow streets, San Telmo is defined by the tango, the dance that made Buenos Aires world-famous. Tango is a fusion of many different cultures: a true child of immigration, much like the city itself. Nowadays, it comes alive after dark in the milongas (dance parties) attended by both locals and visitors alike, who dance until the wee hours of the morning. During the day, the antique shops and classic cafés and bars around Plaza Dorrego dominate the scene. The emblematic Bar Plaza Dorrego, with its green awnings, checkered tile floors, and wooden interiors, takes you back in time the moment you step inside. For true porteño traditions, San Telmo is the place to be.

a small entrance, but you discover a large place inside. Well that's all! Nothing to do, nothing to see. Just a place where you can organize events. I wanted to leave but it is a guided tour and I couldn't.

We detoured off the Sunday flea market on Defensa street to see this place
It has no tour just a view from outside
It is charming but not so special

Possibly the skinniest house in the world. La Casa Minima is only 2.5 metres wide. A fun photo to take with your arms outstretched if you are in the neighbourhood.

Close to Mafalda statue and Cafe San Juan cantina, this tiny house can be photographed from outside and fun to be found. Worth the picture.

If you are walking down the the Calle Defense you will most probably cross the corner where it is and you can check it. Curious facade, door locked... On the other side of the corner of Calle Defense it has a "museum" where you can get in and have more info about.

Right in the middle of the San Telmo Market.
Across from El Zanjon de Granadas.
It’s free.
So not worth the visit is a dumb response because ... you are already there in the San Telmo Market. Second El Zanjon is worth the admission.
So easy peasy 1, 2, and 3.
- Q-Trip: El Zanjon has AC, clean washrooms
and a great English tour.
- Q-Trip: San Telmo has loads of junk BUT people
watching is fabulous and the hand-made arty
and comical T-Shirts are the best.

This is billed as the smallest house in Buenos Aires and is interesting to see but I would only make a side trip down Pasaje San Lorenzo to see it if you're already walking down Calle Defensa as it's not worth a special trip.

Nice place to visit, but do take the tour, we had a dinner there, food was ok but nothing special, service was very good. Our tour guide made the story of this place very interesting.
