09:00am Pick up at the Alvear Palace hotel for a 6 hour City tour with time for lunch. (Meal not included) Guide: Lilia Vlaho “Must-sees” include the Recoleta with its large parks with 200 year old trees and ornate mausoleums at the famous Cemetery, where Evita and other famous Argentines are laid to rest. The soaring Teatro Colón is considered one of the best opera houses of the world. The colourful La Boca neighbourhood in Buenos Aires is a football (soccer) mecca and a must-see for curious visitors to the city. Puerto Madero as the newest Buenos Aires neighbourhood has become a separate city in itself and at least one evening must be spent walking and dining on the streets of Palermo. And of course, a stay in Buenos Aires must include the tantalizing tango experience! Half Day City Tour Buenos Aires This genuine tour-de-force will allow visitors to achieve a fuller understanding of Buenos Aires’ urban identity, the history of the city through its most conspicuous buildings and culture. The infamous Pink House (the President’s office), the Cabildo (Argentina’s first town hall) and the Metropolitan Cathedral (the city’s principal sanctuary and final home of Argentina’s founding father, José de San Martín) are all part of the main downtown of the City. From the Avenida de Mayo, a Paris-inspired boulevard that opened to the public in 1894, impressive views of the Congressional building can be appreciated. The Avenida de Mayo is home of Café Tortoni, founded in 1858 where locals as well as visitors get together to enjoy a mid-morning coffee and watch tango in the evenings. The day continues towards San Telmo, residential district once chosen by the Buenos Aires aristocracy of the mid 1800s, it has become one of the most chic and cosmopolitan neighborhoods in the city. On weekends, an antique fair takes place in this square which extends along various streets, to allow everyone to purchase anything from art and antiques to old magazines and records. The port district of La Boca is one of the city’s most colorful spots. It’s a working class district, where most of the Italian immigrants settled during the last decades of the 19th century. A stop will be made at the mythical Caminito Street, an outdoor museum dedicated to tango and soccer. From there a visit to a very contrasting port district: Puerto Madero. Nowadays 9
