Palermo Soho

Palermo Soho has Buenos Aires' best mix of shopping, dining, and nightlife in a walkable area. The constant foot traffic and good street lighting make it one of the safer neighborhoods, especially at night.

The action centers around Plaza Serrano (officially Plaza Julio Cortázar), where weekend markets run Saturday-Sunday. This area stays busy with foot traffic even late at night, which helps solo travelers feel more secure. Streets like Honduras and Gurruchaga have good lighting and regular police presence. The high concentration of restaurants and bars means you're always near other people if you need help. Street art tours offer a good way to meet other travelers while exploring safely. The neighborhood is compact and easy to navigate, so you won't get disoriented. Locals are accustomed to tourists and generally welcoming. You'll often see other women dining and socializing alone here, especially in the evening.
