1 starting location option:

Meeting point — Puente de la Mujer

Porto Madero, , Buenos Aires

Start your walk at the Puente de la Mujer in Puerto Madero. Just open the app nearby to begin exploring! From here, admire the bridge’s sleek design by Santiago Calatrava — a modern symbol of balance, movement, and the city’s love for reinvention.

Calle Balcarce 50, C1064AAB Buenos Aires

Face the pink façade from Plaza de Mayo and take in the building that turned politics into performance. From this very balcony, Evita once spoke to the crowds — and Argentina never stopped listening.

Av. Hipolito Yrigoyen S/N, , Buenos Aires

Stand at the plaza’s center and look around. Every government, protest, and celebration has passed through here. The white scarves painted on the ground honor the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, who still march for memory and justice.

Buenos Aires

View the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral from the plaza steps. Its neoclassical façade looks more like a Roman temple than a church.

Avenida de Mayo, Esquina Bolivar, Buenos Aires

Pause outside this early 1900s passage on Avenida de Mayo. Its glass and marble façade hides a century of offices, shops, and stories — and even a secret subway entrance beneath its floors.

Avenida de Mayo, 825, Martha Salotti 445, 1107 Buenos Aires

Take a look at the café’s elegant exterior before stepping in for a quick espresso or hot chocolate. This is where artists, poets, and revolutionaries once traded ideas over coffee and tango melodies.

, , Buenos Aires

Walk west along the boulevard and watch the architecture change from colonial to European grandeur. This was Buenos Aires’ boldest statement of progress, still echoing with history and honking traffic.

Avenida de Mayo 1370, C1085ABQ Buenos Aires

Admire the tower from the sidewalk and trace its tiers upward. Inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, it climbs from Hell to Heaven in brick and stone. At night, its lighthouse still lights up the skyline.

Avenida 9 de Julio s/n, 1043 Buenos Aires

Stop by the base of the Obelisco in Plaza de la República. Built in 1936 in just 31 days, it became the city’s vertical selfie — loved, mocked, and impossible to ignore.

Calle Cerrito 628, , C1049 Buenos Aires

Stand before the grand façade and notice the pink marble columns and ornate carvings. Behind those walls lies one of the world’s most perfect opera houses, where even silence sounds good.

Buenos Aires

Wrap up your tour at Pizzería Güerrín on Avenida Corrientes. Take a moment to enjoy the lively street before heading in for a slice of their famous fugazzeta. No reservations here — just walk in, find a spot, and taste a piece of Buenos Aires history.
