Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Our guide will take you to tour a unique corner of Buenos Aires for its magic and charm where you can appreciate the buildings of the first Italian immigrants, the Boca Juniors stadium and its museum, street Tango dancers, the Diego Maradona-themed bar, galleries art and a popular fair

Stop 2

Sal Telmo is one of the first neighborhoods in Buenos Aires and that is why you can breathe a special air there. It smells of colonial architecture, of a cobbled street, of squares full of everyday life.

Let's discover the places that you cannot miss visiting in the mythical neighborhood of San Telmo.
1) Plaza Dorrego and San Telmo fair
2) San Telmo Flea Market
3) Churches
4) Museum of Modern Art
5) National Historical Museum
6) Lezama Park
7) Casa Mínima, a must see in San Telmo
8) Cartoon Walk and the Humor Museum
9) What to do in San Telmo, Zanjón de Granados
10) French's Solar Gallery
Finishing with lunch at La Brigada grill

Stop 3

We offer a free walking tour to Recoleta that begins at the Teatro Colón and ends in the heart of Recoleta, which can be a good morning plan to then visit the cemetery (in this case we also offer an afternoon tour of the cemetery of Recoleta) and the surrounding area in the afternoon, thus covering the main attractions of aristocratic and palatial Buenos Aires.

We group the attractions here with precise recommendations so that you can put together the plan that is most convenient for you:

Check that the spirit of tango lives in every corner of this house, and as the historian of Barracas, Enrique Horacio Puccia, once said, “Barracas was the neighborhood that first gave Buenos Aires a bandoneon.
