Hunts in Buenos Aires

Porteño Food Walk

~75 min · 6 stops

Eat your way through San Telmo, the barrio where Buenos Aires goes to feast. From the 1897 iron market hall to a spoon-tender steakhouse, a red-fronted empanada joint and a poets' café, taste asado, empanadas and mate before finishing on the city's most famous open-air square.

First stops

Mercado de San Telmo — Start inside the Mercado de San Telmo, a cast-iron market hall built in 1897 by the same engineer behind the Eiffel Tower's era of ironwork. Under its soaring roof, antique stalls sit beside counters serving fresh produce, choripán and empanadas.
Parrilla La Brigada — Walk to La Brigada, one of the most celebrated grill houses in the city. Its steaks are famously so tender the waiters carve them with a spoon. It's the temple of the great Argentine ritual of slow-grilling meat over wood embers.
El Banco Rojo — Round the corner is El Banco Rojo, a tiny red-fronted spot beloved for cheap, excellent street food. Locals line up here for its stuffed pastries and burgers — a favourite fuel stop on a San Telmo wander.

Iconic Buenos Aires

~90 min · 7 stops

Walk the monumental heart of Buenos Aires, from the square where the nation was born to the widest avenue in the world. Pass the pink presidential palace, a hero's tomb inside the cathedral, the city's grandest old café and a Dante-inspired tower, ending at the obelisk that is the city's beating symbol.

First stops

Plaza de Mayo — Begin on the Plaza de Mayo, the founding square of Buenos Aires and the stage of Argentine history since 1580. Every Thursday the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo still circle the central pyramid, and it was here that huge crowds gathered for the country's defining moments.
Casa Rosada — Facing you across the square is the seat of the Argentine government. From its famous balcony, presidents and their spouses have addressed the nation for over a century — most legendarily the wife of Juan Perón in the 1950s.
Catedral Metropolitana — Step into the cathedral on the north corner of the square. Behind its neoclassical columns lies a mausoleum guarded day and night by uniformed grenadiers — the resting place of the general who led Argentina, Chile and Peru to independence.

La Boca & Caminito

~75 min · 6 stops

Explore La Boca, the riverside barrio of Italian immigrants that became the most colourful corner of Buenos Aires. Wander the painted alley of Caminito, stand at the bend of the old port, visit a portside art museum and the famous transporter bridge, and end at the legendary blue-and-yellow home of Boca Juniors.

First stops

Caminito — Start on Caminito, a short pedestrian street lined with houses of corrugated metal painted in every colour imaginable. Once a rundown alley on an old rail cutting, it was turned into an open-air museum in the 1950s and named after a famous tango.
Vuelta de Rocha — Walk to the Vuelta de Rocha, the wide bend in the Riachuelo river that was La Boca's working port. The barrio was built by immigrants who arrived by ship in the late 1800s, and the houses were famously painted with the leftover paint they used on the boats.
Fundación Proa — Ahead on the waterfront stands Fundación Proa, a contemporary art museum set inside a restored Italianate house with a striking glass extension. From its rooftop café you get one of the best views over the Riachuelo and the old port.

San Telmo & Tango

~75 min · 6 stops

Follow the cobblestones of San Telmo, the oldest and most bohemian barrio of Buenos Aires and the cradle of tango. Meet Mafalda on her bench, drop beneath the streets into a colonial mansion's hidden tunnels, cross the antiques-market square and end in the green park where the city was said to be born.

First stops

Monumento a Mafalda — Start on Chile street beside a bronze girl sitting on a bench: Mafalda, the wise, world-weary comic-strip character created by cartoonist Quino in 1964. Her creator lived in San Telmo, and tourists queue to sit beside her.
El Zanjón de Granados — Reach a grand old house on Defensa street hiding an astonishing secret below. When the owner began restoring it, he uncovered a network of 19th-century brick constructions running deep under the building — channels once used to tame a stream and later built over.
Plaza Dorrego — Arrive at Plaza Dorrego, the heart of the barrio. On Sunday its cobbles disappear under an antiques market and, as evening falls, dancers take over the square. This is one of the best places in the city to watch tango danced in the open air.
