About this experience

Discover Buenos Aires as the city transforms at sunset. On this guided night bike tour, we ride through its most iconic landmarks, beautifully lit and full of evening energy.

We cycle through the modern docks of Puerto Madero, admire the glowing Torre de los Ingleses, and pass the grand Law School and the iconic Floralis Genérica, a giant metallic flower that shines at twilight. The tour continues through Palermo’s green parks to the Planetarium, then along the elegant Alvear Avenue, lined with embassies and historic mansions.

As night deepens, we dive into the local rhythm along Corrientes Avenue, buzzing with theaters, bookstores, and classic late-night pizza joints.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

We begin our journey at Puerto Madero, where the blend of history and modernity mirrors the progress of the country—much like the evolution of Argentine wine. The old docks, now beautifully restored, were once at the heart of trade and exportation that helped put Argentine wine on the world map. From here, we enjoy panoramic views that invite us to think about how wine has transcended borders.

This tower was a gift from the British community in Buenos Aires to Argentina in 1916, celebrating 100 years of the country’s independence. It stands right in front of Retiro, one of the main train stations in Argentina.

The tower has a large clock at the top and was built in a British architectural style, using materials brought from the UK. At night, the lighting makes it easy to admire the details of its design.

3

This impressive neoclassical building is the Law School of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), one of the most prestigious public universities in Latin America. With its grand columns and monumental design, it looks like a Greek temple — especially striking when illuminated at night.

It’s located near several important city landmarks, making it a great photo stop and a symbol of free public education in Argentina.

Stop 4

Right next to the Law School is one of Buenos Aires’ most unique sculptures: the Floralis Genérica, a giant metallic flower made of steel and aluminum. It was donated by an Argentine architect and symbolizes hope and rebirth.

The flower opens during the day and closes at night — but don’t worry, even when closed, it's still beautiful to see, especially under the city lights.

Stop 5

Located inside the Palermo parks, the Planetario Galileo Galilei is a futuristic dome-shaped building that looks like a UFO. It's one of the most iconic landmarks in the city, especially for science lovers.

At night, the lights around the building and its reflections on the nearby lake make it a stunning and peaceful stop on the tour.

6

Avenida Alvear is one of the most elegant streets in Buenos Aires. Here you'll see French-style mansions, many of which now house foreign embassies, including those of France, Brazil, and the Vatican.

This area reflects the city's rich European influence and was once the heart of the local aristocracy. Riding through it at night feels like a trip to Paris — but with a Buenos Aires twist.

7
Stop 7

The Obelisk is the ultimate symbol of Buenos Aires. Built in 1936, it stands in the middle of 9 de Julio Avenue, one of the widest avenues in the world.

It’s a popular spot for celebrations, protests, and city pride. At night, it’s beautifully lit and surrounded by giant digital screens — a great place for photos and to feel the energy of downtown Buenos Aires.

8

Known as the “street that never sleeps,” Corrientes Avenue is the Broadway of Buenos Aires. It’s famous for its theaters, bookstores, pizza places, and tango history.

You’ll feel the lively atmosphere as we ride past neon signs, live shows, and locals grabbing a quick slice of pizza after a night out. It’s a true taste of the city’s nightlife.
