Itinerary
Meet your guide and fellow travelers over an included coffee or alternative drink at this atmospheric San Telmo café notable. It is an easy start to the day and a chance to talk through the route and your interests.
Explore San Telmo on its liveliest day, from cobbled streets and historic buildings to Plaza Dorrego and the Sunday fair. Your guide brings the neighborhood’s immigrant, market and tango history into the present.
Walk through historic Monserrat and pause by Manzana de las Luces, one of the city’s oldest surviving complexes. Your guide explains how the colonial center grew around these streets on the way to Plaza de Mayo.
See the Casa Rosada, Cabildo and Metropolitan Cathedral while unpacking the revolutions, political movements and public demonstrations that made this square Argentina’s symbolic center.
Cross the city center on a quieter Sunday, seeing Avenida 9 de Julio, the Obelisk and Avenida Corrientes while learning how this commercial district shaped modern Buenos Aires.
Pause for an included local lunch at a Buenos Aires favorite: pizza or empanadas, with one beer, wine, soft drink or water. The relaxed stop leaves plenty of time for questions and conversation.
See Teatro Colón, the Palace of Justice and the varied architecture around Plaza Lavalle as your guide connects the city’s cultural ambitions with its political history.
Walk through Barrio Norte’s elegant streets and see standout architecture such as Palacio de Aguas Corrientes and Palacio Pizzurno, reminders of the city’s late-19th-century transformation.
Step inside this beautifully preserved former theater, now one of the world’s best-known bookstores. See its boxes, frescoed ceiling and stage café before continuing into Recoleta.
Explore Recoleta’s grand avenues and green spaces, including Plaza Francia, the Basílica del Pilar and the monumental public buildings that give the area its distinctive character.
Finish inside Recoleta Cemetery, where architecture and family stories reveal another side of Argentine history. Visit Eva Perón’s tomb and several of the cemetery’s most memorable mausoleums. Admission is included.
