Description
Explore historic 'Downtown' with me as your travel buddy/guide on a captivating 8-hour walking tour that blends history, culture, delicious food and a touch of Argentine rock music! ✅This tour will take you through some of Buenos Aires' most iconic locations, offering a deeper understanding of the city’s past and vibrant present. Our day begins with breakfast at Confitería la Ideal, a historic café where Madonna filmed scenes for “Don't Cry for Me Argentina.” Here, you'll enjoy traditional Argentine breakfast favorites in a beautifully restored setting. We’ll then walk down Diagonal Norte, taking in the city's architectural splendor as we make our way to the Güemes Viewpoint (weekday availability dependent), where you'll have a stunning view of Buenos Aires' skyline. Our next stop is Plaza de Mayo, the political heart of the city, where we’ll explore the Casa Rosada (Pink House) and the Metropolitan Cathedral, both central to Argentina’s rich history. For Argentine rock fans, we’ll stop at the famous corner where the cover of Soda Stereo's 'Ciudad de la Furia' album was shot, introducing you to a piece of local music history. Continuing on, we’ll pass by or enter two of the city's oldest establishments: Librería Dávila, the oldest bookstore in Buenos Aires, and Farmacia La Estrella, the oldest pharmacy, where history is preserved in their timeless interiors. We’ll then head to San Telmo, one of the city’s oldest and most vibrant neighborhoods. Lunch will be at Café la Poesía, a literary haven known for its delicious homemade pasta or charcuterie boards. (Please note that any food or drinks at the cafés are paid for separately.) After lunch, we’ll visit Mafalda's official sculpture, paying tribute to Argentina’s beloved comic character, before walking by the tiniest house in Buenos Aires, a fascinating piece of architecture tucked away in San Telmo. Next, we’ll explore the San Telmo Market, alive with local vendors, antiques, and the city’s historic charm. We may even catch some street tango performances at Plaza Dorrego, a lively spot for tango dancers. We’ll end the tour at the historic Ezeiza House, one of San Telmo’s oldest and most significant buildings, filled with stories of the past. ✅Throughout the tour, I’ll use visual aids and historic photographs to help you compare the city’s past and present, making the history come alive. This is a walking tour, and we will adjust our pace to suit everyone, ensuring a comfortable and enriching experience for all. ✨Join me for a day filled with the history, culture, and charm that make Buenos Aires unforgettable!Includes
