Buenos Aires is undoubtedly one of the large American cities that best combine the cosmopolitan and aristocratic atmosphere of European cities. However, yet another atmosphere that includes the colorful corrugated iron houses in La Boca and the popular tango played on the streets in San Telmo blends into Buenos Aires. This mixture is what makes this city such an original and irresistible metropolis. This tour is an introduction to Buenos Aires, showing you the highlights of this city viewed through its history and its culture to understand how it grew from a small village to a large city. The following districts will be visited: City centre, Monserrat, San Telmo, La Boca, Puerto Madero, Palermo and Recoleta, stopping at Plaza de Mayo, Caminito and Recoleta Cemetery.
