Activity itinerary
Caminito
- 40m
Caminito is the most famous pedestrian street in Buenos Aires. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city due to its colourful houses and its deep historical and cultural significance.
Caminito is located in the popular La Boca area, on the coast of the Riachuelo River and just 400 metres from La Bombonera, the Boca Juniors stadium. It is a 150 metre long curved pedestrian walkway where important artistic works can be seen.
Mafalda Statue
- 15m
The Mafalda Monument is a sculpture dedicated to the most famous character of the cartoonist Quino: 'Mafalda' in which it could be seen materialised on a bench resting.
The Mafalda Monument is located a few metres from where the artist lived, in the San Telmo area where a plaque that says 'Mafalda lived here' remembers him.
Estadio Alberto J. Armando (La Bombonera)
- 15m
- Admission ticket not included
Recognised by various international media as one of the most emblematic football stadiums in the world, and declared of "sports, tourist and cultural interest in the city of Buenos Aires", it was inaugurated on May 25, 1940. Diego Armando Maradona defined this stadium like "The temple of the Mouth". Likewise, various sports glories such as Pelé, Zico, Andrés Iniesta and Thierry Henry, among others, have declared that at the Boca Juniors stadium there is a good experience. The stadium has a capacity for 40,000 seated spectators and 57,000 seated and standing spectators.
Avenida de Mayo
- 15m
Inspired by Madrid's Gran Vía, Avenida de Mayo is one of the largest and most important arteries in Buenos Aires. Tour the city from Plaza de Mayo with the Casa Rosada on one end, to the National Congress building on the other. Officially opened in 1894, it is worth going through, as it is like taking a trip through the entire history of the city.
Mercado de San Telmo
- 30m
It is a large indoor market that is located in the San Telmo area. Although it preserves old shops selling vegetables and meat, today it is a tourist place and antique dealers abound. The old stalls "in the area" that have been preserved for several decades coexist with antique dealers, more recent and related as the tourist boom in San Telmo. The building also includes some premises that have their own entrance from the street, including greengrocers, off-licences, a restaurant and two notable bars: "San Pedro Telmo", and "La Coruña" .1
Puente de la Mujer
- 15m
The Puente de la Mujer, one of the emblems of the Puerto Madero area, is the first work in Latin America by the renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and represents another example of the City permanently seeking to position itself at the forefront of art and architecture in the entire region. It is a revolving pedestrian bridge with one of the largest turning mechanisms in the world, designed to allow the passage of sailing vessels that navigate the docks of Puerto Madero. The work, made in Spain and donated to the City by a private individual, represents the image of a couple dancing tango, where the white pole symbolises the man and the curved silhouette of the bridge is the woman.
Casa Rosada
- 30m
- Admission ticket not included
It is a palace located in front of the Plaza de Mayo that functions as the seat of the National Government. This imposing pink building occupies the site where the Fort of Buenos Aires was erected in 1580. It was the residence of Spanish viceroys and then housed, with some reforms, the authorities of the successive national governments. The current building is the product of the merger of two previous constructions: the presidential headquarters and the Palacio de Correos (on the corner of Hipólito Yrigoyen and Balcarce).
Catedral
- 15m
It is the main seat of the Catholic Church of Argentina. In addition to being located in a key area of the City of Buenos Aires, it has a long history of disappointments in its construction. The current building is the sixth construction that has been carried out in this place since the second foundation of the City of Buenos Aires. Its final structure is neoclassical and has a profile rarely used in cathedrals, giving it a closer resemblance to a Greek temple than to the classic Catholic building.
Rosedal De Palermo
- 30m
Within the Parque 3 de Febrero, in Palermo, is the Rosedal, with a collection of more than 18,000 roses and a lake that surrounds it. It occupies a space that belonged to the fifth of Juan Manuel de Rosas, until it was defeated on February 3, 1852 in the Battle of Caseros. The work began with the landscaper Carlos Thays, the same one who built the Botanical Garden, Avellaneda Park and Lezama Park, among others. Then his disciple Benito Carrasco finished it in 1914.
Every July when the pruning season begins, residents and tourists approach gardeners to receive flowers or cuttings from which new species can reproduce. In this way, in winter the roses bloom healthy and strong to reach the maximum development point in October.
Cementerio de la Recoleta
- 45m
- Admission ticket not included
It is located in the exclusive Recoleta area, which owes its name to the fact that there was the convent of the Recoletos monks, to which the neighbouring Basilica Nuestra Señora del Pilar also belonged (the cemetery was built in the old garden of the monks ).
It is the most visited in the city, for its numerous and imposing mausoleums and vaults, belonging to many of the main protagonists of Argentine history, such as that of Eva Perón (Evita), one of the most popular tombs. Likewise, it is worth a visit for its architectural value, since it is a sample of the times when the country was an emerging economic power and the main families of the city competed to build splendid pantheons. Many of the vaults and mausoleums are the work of important architects and are adorned with marbles and sculptures; more than 90 vaults have been declared a National Historic Monument.
El Ateneo Grand Splendid
- 15m
The Athenaeum Grand Splendid was chosen by the British newspaper The Guardian as the second largest bookshop in the world. Built on the former Grand Splendid cinema in the Recoleta area, it retains its former splendour and elegance, with the frescoed cupola, original railings, and intact decor. On the old stage - with the velvet curtain ajar - there is a bar that invites you to sit book in hand. You can also take advantage of the armchairs that are on both sides of the main room or be located in the exclusive boxes that work as small reading rooms. In the basement there is a sector dedicated to children's books, and the upper floor is dedicated to samples and exhibitions.
Floralis Generica
- 10m
This imposing 20-meter-high sculpture that dominates the United Nations square was donated to the City of Buenos Aires by its author, the Argentine architect Eduardo Catalano. It is made of stainless steel and aluminium and weighs 18 tonnes. It is the first sculpture in movement controlled by a hydraulic system and photoelectric cells.
The work was inaugurated on April 13, 2002. Its name, "Floralis Generica", is a tribute to all the flowers. It is about the projection of a dream of its creator, that of building a large-scale structure that reflects the dynamism of our time.
