Description:

Immerse yourself in the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Buenos Aires as you tour its major landmarks, vibrant districts, and colonial architecture. Pass by soccer stadiums and through historic neighborhoods as your knowledgeable guide shares stories about the Argentine capital.

Begin your tour at the iconic Obelisco de Buenos Aires—this 215-foot-tall (65.7-m) monument is the unofficial heart and symbol of the city. Then make your way to the Plaza de Mayo, home to another obelisk that commemorates the anniversary of the city’s independence from Spain. Here in the heart of the Montserrat neighborhood, you can also see the palatial Casa Rosada, where Eva Peron famously addressed the nation.

At Plaza San Martin, admire the Belle Epoque mansions and hotels that fringe the park, and see the stately Argentine Congress building at Plaza Congreso. Soak up the European vibe in La Boca—this neighborhood is home to the celebrated La Bonbonera soccer stadium and is instantly recognizable by its colorful houses. Stroll by the tango clubs and street performers on the pedestrian-only Caminito, and meander down the cobblestone streets toward the faded colonial grandeur of San Telmo. Check out the area’s antique shops before walking by picnicking locals in the sprawling green space of Tres de Febrero Park.

If you opt to include lunch in your tour, enjoy Argentine ambiance and all-you-can-eat local cuisine during a sit-down lunch at Rodizio or a similar churrasqueria-style restaurant.
