Itinerary
As you move through the building, your guide will reveal the hidden meanings behind its rich architecture, packed with symbols tied to literature, history, and Freemasonry. You'll ride the elevator through part of the building, but many of the most intriguing spaces are accessed on foot—via staircases that become narrower as you approach the top. Along the way, you’ll step inside a preserved 1920s office, a time capsule that lets you experience the era when the palace was first constructed. The highlight of the tour is the climb up the lighthouse tower. Though the stairs are steep and tight, the reward is unforgettable: a panoramic 360° view of Buenos Aires from nearly 100 meters above the city. From the open-air Mirador, you’ll see the skyline stretch from the historic center to the Río de la Plata. Whether you're a fan of architecture, literature, or just stunning city views, this experience offers something truly unique.

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.
