Everything you need to know about Buenos Aires in three hours.
On this tour we will explore the heart of the city and will talk and learn about the fascinating political history of the Argentinian capital.
From life before the colonial times, the struggle and war of independence, and the waves of immigrants that forever changed the face of the city and the country. The “barn of the world” and how one of the richest countries of the world in the wake of the 20th ended in one of the biggest economic crises of the planet a century later. The lights and shadows behind the myth of the “Europe of the Americas”.
Tango, football, literature, psychotherapy, politics, dictatorships, and resistance, the history of Argentina has all of the ingredients for a passionate drama. And that reflects onto its population.
“To me, Buenos Aires is eternal, like water or air“ ( as the famed writer Jorge Luis Borges once said)
Why does the seemingly never-ending energy of the city keeps mystifying onlookers and energizing passer-by’s.
During the tour we will see:
- The palace of the parliament
- The square of the congress
- Palacio Barolo
- Avenida de Mayo
- 9 de Julio avenue
- The obelisk
- Evita’s giant homage
- Calle Florida
- A mural for Messi
- Metropolitan cathedral
- Casa rosada (the pink house)
- Plaza de Mayo (the pulsating heart of the city)
We will meet at the corner of Defensa Street and Belgrano Avenue at the Santo Domingo Convent. I will tell you about the English invasions and why this convent is so important in our history.
From there we will walk to the statue of Mafalda and if the queue is not too long we will take the famous photo.
The next stop is “la casa mínima”, which is the smallest house museum in Buenos Aires, but not before stopping at Zanjón de Granados, another museum where you can tour the underground tunnels of San Telmo. From there we will pass by the tango bar “el viejo Almacen”. I will give you information about tango, not only about tango shows but a little about its history and the mythical milongas in Buenos Aires. We will also be able to see the bar sur, a traditional tango corner.
We will take a look at the impressive “Facultad de Ingeniería” and then we will go back to Defensa Street and go up to the “Mercado de San Telmo”. In the market we will see the different stalls. I will give you some time to look around and maybe buy something.
Then we will arrive at the famous square where we will also take some time to see the market and, perhaps, if we are lucky, we will be able to see tango dancing.
We will stop to see the beautiful San Pedro Telmo Church and Penitentiary Museum (former Women's Prison).
Almost at the end of our tour I will show you two more museums that can be visited in San Telmo, the Museum of Modern Art and the National Historical Museum. And finally, the last stop will be the "Casa Ezeiza", the famous "chorizo house", an open-air museum where you can explore antiques, while I share with you the history of European immigration in Argentina during the 19th and 20th centuries.
My goal is that you not only have a great time walking around this amazing neighborhood but that you also feel free to ask any questions about the city, what to do, where to shop and the nightlife.
Sundays are a very special day since in San Telmo the giant open-air fair takes place that runs through practically the entire neighborhood. It is definitely an unmissable day to visit this beautiful neighborhood.
I want to help you make the most of your visit to Buenos Aires, the city that never sleeps.
