Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The first stop will be at the main square of Buenos Aires, Plaza de Mayo, where you will be able to appreciate the most important public buildings and monuments illuminated, such as the Pink House, the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Cabildo (Town Hall) and the Pyramid of May.

Stop 2

Be amazed by this amazing rotating pedestrian bridge with one of the largest turning mechanisms in the world, designed to allow the passage of boats sailing through the docks of Puerto Madero. The work, made in Spain and donated to the City, represents the image of a couple who dances Tango, where the white mast symbolizes the man and the curved silhouette of the bridge represents the woman.

Stop 3

Fall in love with the Floralis Generica, an imposing 20 meters high sculpture that dominates the United Nations Square in the Recoleta neighborhood.

Donated to the City of Buenos Aires by its author the Argentine architect Eduardo Catalano, it is made of stainless steel and aluminum and weighs 18 tons. It was the first sculpture in movement controlled by a hydraulic system and photoelectric cells.

Its name, "Floralis Generica", is a tribute to all flowers. It is about the projection of a dream of its creator, that of building a structure on a large scale that reflects the dynamism of our time.

Stop 4

Finally we will visit Palermo Soho, the 'trendy' area of Buenos Aires and one of the porteños' favorite neighborhoods to meet with friends, or to go for a walk.

By day, you can enjoy a brunch, a lunch or a snack. Also you can go shopping, buy handicrafts, or explore the latest trends in fashion and design. At night, bars, discos, restaurants, beer gardens, patios, and terraces, concentrate much of the nightlife of Buenos Aires.
