Buenos Aires Day Tour & Cooking Class

Start your first day in Buenos Aires by exploring its most distinctive districts, from political hubs to artistic enclaves and neighborhoods shaped by European influences. Begin at Plaza de Mayo, the city's historic and political core, before heading south to Parque Lezama and La Boca, where studios, galleries, and vividly painted houses line the streets. Continue to Plaza San Martín and Retiro, where the cityscape shifts from the informal charm of the south to the refined European architecture of the 19th century. End in Recoleta, known for its Parisian-style avenues and grand residences, with a visit to the world-famous Recoleta Cemetery, where Eva Perón is buried. Next, start in La Boca, home to the Boca Juniors football club. Legends like Maradona, Riquelme, and Batistuta played here, and the streets reflect the team’s devoted fan base. Walk through the area and visit the Museo de la Pasión Boquense, which celebrates the club’s history. Then, head north to Palermo to visit the Evita Museum. Perhaps Argentina’s most polarizing figure, Eva Perón remains a subject of admiration and debate. Personal artifacts, opulent gowns, and historic footage offer insight into her complex legacy. End the day at Teatro Colón, one of the world’s premier opera houses. Known for its remarkable acoustics and grand Italianate façade, it has hosted artists such as Plácido Domingo and Kiri Te Kanawa. If attending a performance, experience the venue’s splendor firsthand. In the evening for a hands-on experience, try making Argentina’s most beloved street food: empanadas. Learn about different fillings, practice the art of crimping, and enjoy a fun cooking session at Montecarlo—perfect for families and friends.
