Activity itinerary
Monumento de los Espanoles
- 5m
Impressive marble and bronze monument inaugurated in 1927, gift of the Spanish community to Argentina for the centenary of independence. Its four columns represent the regions of Spain and at the top, the figure of the Argentine Republic. An architectural icon in the heart of Tres de Febrero Park.
El Rosedal Garden
- 12m
French style garden with over 18,000 rose bushes of 93 different varieties. Opened in 1914, it has a navigable artificial lake, romantic bridges, pergolas and the famous Andalusian Patio with sevillian majolicas. An oasis of beauty and tranquility in the heart of Buenos Aires, perfect for unforgettable photographs.
It is planned to enter the Rosedal with free admission.
Biblioteca Nacional (Pass by)
Iconic Brutalist building opened in 1992, designed by Clorindo Testa. Its futuristic architecture on towering pillars houses more than 3 million volumes. Built on the site of Perón y Evita’s presidential residence, it is a symbol of modern Buenos Aires and an unmissable architectural landmark.
Panoramic stop outside in front of the National Library.
No entry is made inland and no additional payment is required at destination.
Recoleta (Pass by)
A symbol of the Belle Epoque of Buenos Aires, Recoleta concentrates the best of Argentine aristocratic architecture. Its French-style buildings, petit-hôtels and palaces from the 19th and early 20th centuries reflect Buenos Aires’ golden era. In addition to the iconic Cemetery where Evita rests, the neighborhood offers the National Museum of Fine Arts, the Basilica del Pilar, places with handicraft fair on weekends, and the emblematic Café La Biela. To walk through Recoleta is to experience the luxury and history of high society in Puerto Rico.
Outdoor panoramic stop in front of La Recoleta Cemetery. No entry is made inland and no additional payment is required at destination.
Plazoleta Carlos Pellegrini
- 5m
This tree-lined roundabout is the epicenter of Buenos Aires’ most exclusive neighborhood. Opened in 1914, the square is named after former President Carlos Pellegrini, whose equestrian statue dominates the space. An open-air architectural museum is displayed around it: the Duhau Palace (now Park Hyatt), embassies of France and Brazil, Belle Epoque mansions and Art Deco buildings. It is the point where the most stately avenues of the city converge, creating a scene of incomparable urban elegance.
Palacio San Martin (Pass by)
Architectural jewel designed by architect Alejandro Christophersen for the Anchorena family. This set of three interconnected palatial residences represents the opulence of the Argentine Belle Epoque. Built between 1905 and 1909, it combines neoclassical French and Beaux-Arts styles with Italian marbles, noble woods and exquisite ornamental details. Since 1936, it has been home to the Argentine Foreign Ministry. Its gardens, wrought iron bars and stately facades position it as one of the most impressive urban palaces in South America.
Panoramic stop outside in front of the San Martin Palace.
No entry is made inland and no additional payment is required at destination.
Plaza General San Martin
- 5m
One of the most important squares in Buenos Aires, both historically and landscaped. Designed by legendary landscape designer Carlos Thays, its 7 hectares of natural slopes are covered by centuries-old gummies, tipas and jacarandás. The Monument to the Liberator General San Martin, inaugurated in 1862, dominates from the top. Around it: the Peace Palace (Military Circle), the Monumental Tower (former Tower of the English), the Kavanagh building and the Palace of San Martin create an exceptional architectural complex. A place where nature, history and architecture meet.
Palacio Paz, Circulo Militar (Pass by)
This replica of the Louvre Palace is one of the most impressive constructions in Latin America. Designed by French architect Louis-Marie Henri Sortais, the palace features Louis XVI-style ballrooms, a library with stained glass, Carrara marble staircase and original fresco ceilings. Built for the Paz family at the height of agro-exporting Argentina, it reflects the splendour and ambitions of the Centennial elite. Since 1938 it has housed the Military Circle. Its 12,000 m2 makes it the largest private urban palace ever built in Argentina.
Panoramic stop outside in front of the Peace Palace. No entry is made inland and no additional payment is required at destination.
Torre Monumental (Pass by)
Opened in 1916 as Torre de los Ingleses, this gift from the British community living in Argentina stands as a testament to the profound English influence on the development of the country. Designed by architect Ambrose Poynter, it replicates the neo-Tudor style of British towers. Its 75 meters, red brick and imported Portland stone cladding, four-dial Westminster clock and bells brought from England make it a replica of Big Ben in the heart of Buenos Aires. After the Falklands War it was renamed the Monumental Tower.
Outdoor panoramic stop in front of the Monumental Tower.
No entry is made inland and no additional payment is required at destination.
Facultad de Derecho - Universidad de Buenos Aires (Pass by)
This palace of knowledge combines monumental neoclassical architecture with academic functionality. Opened in 1949, the Arturo Ochoa building is inspired by Greek temples with its Corinthian colonnade, triangular frontis and 40-meter central dome. Its entrance hall with marbles and stairs, historical library and classrooms that trained Argentine presidents, judges and thinkers make it a symbol of academic excellence. Located in front of Parque Recoleta, it is also a frequent set of films for its cinematic beauty.
This tour is panoramic. The visit is made from the outside and does not contemplate entry into the building.
Floralis Generica
- 5m
This monumental metallic flower is one of the most photographed sculptures in Buenos Aires. Donated by Argentine architect Eduardo Catalano to the city, the 23-meter-high, 18-ton work is built of stainless steel and aluminum. Its most fascinating feature: petals that open each morning and close at dusk, emulating the natural cycle of flowers. Fridays and Saturdays are open all night. Located in Plaza de las Unidas, it represents rebirth and hope, a gift from the artist to his hometown.
Palermo Chico (Pass by)
Urban gem designed by landscape designer Carlos Thays son in 1912, inspired by the garden suburbs of London. Its curved and diagonal streets break with the traditional porteño damero, creating a green maze of stately homes. Here lived and live leading figures of Argentine culture, politics and entrepreneurship. Norman-style residences, English Tudor, Spanish colonial and Californian chalets coexist surrounded by centuries-old trees. A pedestrian neighborhood, silent and exclusive that seems to be taken from another era and city.
Palacio Alcorta (Pass by)
Impressive French academic style palace built at the beginning of the 20th century on Avenida Figueroa Alcorta. Its monumental facade, central dome and gardens make it one of the most distinguished buildings in the area. A testament to the Argentine golden age, it represents the power and refinement of the landed aristocracy.
Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (Pass by)
This museum of minimalist contemporary architecture revolutionized the cultural landscape of Buenos Aires. Its modern building of pure lines contrasts with the historic palaces of the area, creating a dialogue between past and present. The permanent collection includes masterpieces by Frida Kahlo, Tarsila do Amaral, Xul Solar, Antonio Berni and Guillermo Kuitca. With international-level temporary exhibitions, auteur cinema, a specialized bookstore and a café with outstanding design, MALBA is the epicenter of contemporary Latin American art and a meeting point of the Portuguese cultural scene.
Outdoor panoramic stop in front of MALBA. No entry is made inland and no additional payment is required at destination.
Museo Evita (Pass by)
This restored former residence houses the most complete tour of the life of Eva Duarte de Perón. The rooms chronicle her career chronologically: from her humble origins in Los Toldos, her career as a radio and film actress, her romance with Juan Perón, her role as revolutionary First Lady, her unprecedented social work and her untimely death that made her a myth. On display are her Dior and Paco Jamandreou couture dresses, jewelry, correspondence, the motorcycle of her tour of Europe and historical documents. An emotional space to understand why Evita remains an Argentine cultural icon.
