This tour will allow us to trace back the cityÂ’s historical evolution, visiting the cityÂ’s most distinctive landmarks, and getting acquainted with the uses and customs of its inhabitants.

Our journey starts at Plaza de Mayo, the city’s foundational site and witness of our country’s political history. There we’ll visit the Pink House, our Presidential Palace, the Cabildo, our primitive town hall, and the Neoclassical-styled Metropolitan Cathedral, the final home of Argentina’s founding father, José de San Martín.

WeÂ’ll then head for San Telmo, home of many artists and artisans who came to San Telmo to install their workshops. Nowadays, thanks to its amazing architecture and convenient location, this ancient neighbourhood is really blooming. WeÂ’ll walk its cobbled streets and will make a stop at Plaza Dorrego, best known for its traditional antiques fair, held every Sunday.

Leaving San Telmo behind, weÂ’ll continue southwards to La Boca, one of the cityÂ’s most authentic and charming neighborhoods. It is a working class district, heavily shaped by Italian immigrants who came to our country in large numbers during the last quarter of the 19th century. WeÂ’ll make a special visit to the mythical Caminito Street, which sums up everything that gives La Boca its distinctive spirit: the strong passion for soccer, the heavy presence of art and color, and the tango-esque atmosphere.

Heading back north across the river, we’ll pay a visit to Puerto Madero, a rather contrasting port district. In 1991, its huge warehouses and silos where remodelled and redesigned, to finally integrate the river to the city and to create a new corporative, residential, hotel and gastronomically district, which is rapidly expanding southwards following our country’s growth, and has become the playground for the pretty Porteños and the international jet-set.

Once in La Recoleta northern neighbourhood, we will be able to observe in their elegant buildings the dream of the aristocrat families of the late 19th century and early 20th, when they sought to build a small-scale Paris in the heart of Buenos Aires. WeÂ’ll walk down Avenida Alvear, chosen by the worldÂ’s most distinguished brands to install their exclusive boutiques, looking up to see the many wonderful French style palaces which nowadays house a number of embassies.
