• Cementerio de la Recoleta - You will be guided to the most beautiful, iconic, & historic mausoleums within the world-famous Recoleta Cemetery, discovering some hidden gems & learning the stories & mysteries behind them. Entrance fee ($12 US) is included in tour price
• Plaza General San Martin - Plaza San Martin boasts 360 views of historical, architectural excellence, including Retiro train station, the British Tower, the Kavanagh Building, & the Palacios San Martin & Paz.
• Obelisco - We then enjoy a short drive along the world’s widest & one of the most picturesque streets on the planet - the Avenida 9 de Julio. We stop right in the heart of Buenos Aires’ version of ‘Times Square’ at the iconic Obelisco. Buenos Aires is always listed within the top 5 cities worldwide for live theatre and here you will see that on full display, with the beautiful Teatro Colón, & numerous Broadway-esque theatres all around.
• Plaza de Mayo - The extremely photo friendly Plaza de Mayo is home to the ‘Pink House’ (Argentina’s version of the ‘White House’), the national Cathedral (where Pope Francis used to work!), the Cabildo (Argentina’s first government building when it was still a Spanish colony ), plus many other exquisite & historical buildings.
• San Telmo - The pavement of the City Centre gives way to the cobblestone of San Telmo, a sign that we’re making our way into some of the oldest parts of the city. In the early days of Buenos Aires, San Telmo was home to the city’s wealthiest families. A series of yellow fever epidemics led to the wealthy to move to the outskirts of the city (now Recoleta & Retiro) and San Telmo began its decadent decline. Artists & the working class soon moved into the mansions, converting the neighbourhood into what it is now beloved for: a bohemian haven for antiques, tango, cafes, bars, & restaurants, as well as the famous San Telmo Street Market held every Sunday.
• La Boca - Our final stop is to the country’s original port, La Boca. While the port closed in the 1960’s, this area is still very full of life, most known for its colorful streets full of tango, art, & fútbol (aka soccer!). La Boca’s rich history is still very much alive in the many conventillos (tenement housing for the old port’s labour force) now converted into cafes, parrillas (steakhouses), & souvenir shops. La Boca is a great place to see street tango, purchase a keepsake or 2, & appreciate one of Argentina’s greatest painters, Benito Quinquela Martín, who revived the neighbourhood by converting it into one of the most emblematic tourist sites in the country.
