Today, explore some of the top spots in Buenos Aires on a private city tour visiting some of the oldest food markets in town & having lunch in an authentic local restaurant.

This tour can be adapted to your personal interests and tastes.

Your guide will pick you up in the morning at the hotel to visit some of the following areas and sites:

Plaza de Mayo is home to the national government palace and the Metropolitan Cathedral. This historical, political, and foundational epicenter of the city is a great starting point for the city tour.

One of the oldest neighborhoods in Buenos Aires is San Telmo, which is a great area to visit if you’re interested in tango and the arts. The antique markets, candle street lighting, cobbled roads, and historic buildings with original facades and décor create a lovely bohemian atmosphere. Sundays buzz with activity as the main antique market comes alive around the Plaza Dorrego. Viist of the San Telmo Market, the oldest one in town!

You can also visit La Boca, a neighborhood famous for its brightly-painted houses and coventillos (communal housing tenements). It’s also home to the legendary Boca Juniors Football Club, where Diego Maradona made his name.

Here in La Boca, we will make a stop for having lunch (not included) at EL OBRERO, a traditional “bodegón” in the city.

A bodegón, is a typical neighborhood restaurant with certain common characteristics. The menu features what has become the local cuisine; a mix of European flavors mainly from Spain and Italy with a unique Argie twist. Then there’s the waiters, who are generally all men, in their forties, fifties and up, often clad in spick and span white uniforms. They are places all full of history and character, which makes them one of a kind.

The same family has been running EL OBRERO since 1954, and a number of celebrities have passed through over the years (check out the photos on the walls). You’ll also see old Boca Juniors soccer jerseys, antique furniture, old tile floors and chalkboards advertising the day’s specials.

We continue to visit the city’s youngest neighborhood: Puerto Madero, which is situated on the riverside along the Río de la Plata. This major gastronomic and business hub is situated in former commercial docks. Along the canals, these former industrial warehouses were converted into elegant bars, eateries, and offices during one of the most successful urban waterfront restoration projects in the world.

Palermo, the largest neighborhood, hosts huge parks and some of Buenos Aires’ trendiest bars, clubs, and fashion boutiques. This neighborhood—which has nearly 350 acres of parks, lakes, and wooded areas—offers a peaceful retreat from the busy city.

And finally, the European style district: Recoleta.

Home to an array of fashionable restaurants, cafés, boutiques, malls, and luxury hotels, which reside along tree-lined avenues.

One of the main attractions, The Cemetery, is the final resting place for generations of well-known Argentineans, including Evita Peron.
