Participating in Buenos Aires Tours ensures that you won’t miss a beat in this lively city, famous for its steak, tango and rich culture.

Firstly, a visit to La Boca would do you well, as the colorful portside neighborhood is famous for tango and soccer. El Caminito, which translates to ‘little walkway,’ is a main attraction around this area. This cobblestone alleyway bursting with vibrant colors was the inspiration for the famous 1926 tango song ‘Caminito.’ Naturally, it is one of the most picturesque streets in the city. One of the most emblematic stadiums in the world is also located in La Boca. Nicknamed ‘the chocolate box’ for its unusual shape, La Bombonera is home to the Boca Juniors, one of the most popular football teams in South America.

Additionally, you can take a Buenos Aires day tour to see the oldest Barrio, San Telmo. The site possesses ancient churches, historical buildings, steakhouses and tango dinner shows. On top of that, every Sunday it hosts an antique market with an array of different wares. However, the biggest barrio in the city is called Palermo Soho. The Palermo Soho bedazzles shoppers with vast attire and crafts. On the weekends, locals dress in their most delightful outfits and rummage through the open air markets.

Historical Buenos Aires Tours

The best tours in Buenos Aires consist of visiting some major historical sites throughout the city. For instance, The Colon Theatre has gained recognition as one of the best opera houses in the world.  Opened in 1908, the building has unbelievable acoustics that will leave your ears in ecstasy. Likewise, the architecture stuns anyone who walks about the premises. But, of course, the best way to experience the opera house is to see an unforgettable show!

Moreover, you can discover the graves of many famous Argentinian presidents, writers and actors at the La Recoleta cemetery. That being said, some of the most elaborate tombs in the world can be found at this cemetery.

If you’re a history buff, you can visit a museum dedicated to Eva Perón, a beloved first lady of Argentina. As a feminist politician, she helped bring justice to women’s rights in Argentina. Though she met a tragic end at the early age of 33, the museum brings to light her many accomplishments. Similarly, you can visit the Casa Rosada, a monument with an on-site museum. Above all, this soft pink mansion serves as the main office for the Argentinian president.
