Itinerary

1. The Plaza de Mayo is the foundational site of Buenos Aires and a symbol of politics, as the scene of the largest popular demonstrations in Argentina. Sorrounded by the Presidential Palace, the ancient City Hall and the Cathedral, the Plaza de Mayo still bears the marks of Peronist marches and the ongoing marches of the Mothers, every Thursday at 3:30 pm.

   20 min

2. Caminito is a street museum of colourful painted houses, sort of tenements made of wood and sheet metal built by Italian immigrants in the late 19th century. The street was largely abandoned until the 1950s when a group of neighbours decided to clean it up. Since then it has become one the main highlights of Buenos Aires.

   20 min

3. The San Telmo Market maintains its original construction of beams and metal structures dating back to 1897. In its stalls, you can perceive a fascinating combination of the traditional and the modern, with restaurants, cafes, fruit and vegetable stores, and butcher shops, as well as toy stores, antique shops, and record stores.

   15 min

About Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is Argentina's elegant, passionate capital, a city of grand boulevards, tango halls, leafy barrios and late-night steak dinners.

The Plaza de Mayo, framed by the pink Casa Rosada and the Metropolitan Cathedral, is the historic heart of the city, and the vast Avenida 9 de Julio leads to the Obelisk. The Teatro Colón, one of the great opera houses, and the grand cafés of Avenida de Mayo recall the city's golden age.
