EDIFICIO MALTA is situated right in the historical center of
Buenos Aires within walking distance of a hundred theatres, any amount
of restaurants and shops of all imaginable kinds. The fashionable
districts Recoleta and San Telmo are both about twenty minutes away on
foot (in opposite directions), and less than ten minutes away by taxi.
Taxis abound, and they are surprisingly cheap compared to most other
countries.
