Description You will be met at the cruiseship terminal in Buenos Aires by a guide carrying a sign bearing your name. Your three-hour city tour starts at the historic Plaza de Mayo square, site of resonant political demonstrations. It is surrounded by the Government House, best known as the “Pink House”, which is the Government seat; the Cabildo (the old City Hall) and the Cathedral. The Avenida De Mayo, which starts in this square, is an interesting set of buildings of varied styles that reflect the diversity of its inhabitants. Through this avenue, you reach the Congress Palace. Wide avenues and green areas appear constantly trying to slow down the rhythm of this vertiginous city. A sample of this is the 9 de Julio Avenue, with its eight lanes divided by small green squares with old leafy trees and enriched by sculptures and fountains. In the middle of this avenue, in the Plaza de la Republica, the Obelisk arises as a symbol of the city. Southwards, we reach the picturesque and colourful port neighbourhood of La Boca with its famous street, “Caminito”, whose architectonic characteristics reflect the culture the European citizens that arrived to these shores at the end of the 19th century, specially Genovese sailors.
The visit continues towards San Telmo, one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Buenos Aires, which was also a center for immigrant settlers and still keeps most of its architectonic patrimony untouched: its colonial houses, its cobbled streets. Every Sunday an antique fair is held in Plaza Dorrego. The area has also a lively night-life as there are many tango houses, restaurants and pubs.
The visit continues towards the modern district of Puerto Madero; Palermo neighbourhood with its elegant residences framed by wide green areas; reaching finally the district of Recoleta, the most sophisticated neighbourhood in Buenos Aires. From here, you may choose to return to your hotel or you can be dropped off to visit the Recoleta Cemetary or shop in the fine selection of high quality stores in the neighborhood. Buenos Aires’ best museums are also in this district.
At the end of the tour, you will be transferred to the Buenos Aires International Airport, EZE.
