Departing from that place, you start riding to the South in order to visit Recoleta neighborhood, the city center and later, go to the area where San Telmo and La Boca neighborhoods are located.
Along this stretch, you will pass by the Museum of Decorative Art, Eva Duarte de Perón Monument and the National Museum of Fine Arts.
Recoleta is an aristocratic neighborhood and a must for the tourist due to its varied cultural and entertaining offers. You will pass by Plaza Francia ( France Square), Buenos Aires Design and the Homonimous Cementery where the rests of the ancestors belonging to the most traditional Argentinean families are.
Later, you will go along 9 de Julio Avenue which is the widest avenue in the world being 144 meters wide. To the right, you will observe Colón Theatre, a magnificent building offering opera, ballet and classical music shows
Further ahead, when you reach Corrientes Avebue, the Obelisc is located- unquestionable symbol of Buenos Aires City.
In the heart of the city, legendary Plaza de Mayo ( May Square) is located- epic scenery of The Revolution of May, 1810. In the surroundings, you will see the Cabildo (City hall), the Bank of Argentinean Nation and the Metropolitan Cathedral which has Neoclassic style outside and Renaissance and American Baroque style inside. |

You will quickly pass through Monserrat and San Telmo neighborhoods until you reach the most southern city of the tour- La Boca neighborhood, near the brook. The history of this neighborhood is closely related to immigration and tango. It still has paving stoned streets such as "Caminito" and houses painted in striking colors. Many artists and craftsmen come to this area offering paintings and souvenirs with allusive topics of the idiosyncrasy of the inhabitants of the place.
From this spot, the transfer goes to the Northeast and passes by "Puerto Madero", place where the city tour ends. Opposite the boulevard along the recycled buildings, you can visit Sarmiento Frigate, antique school-boat of the Argentinean Army which is anchored opposite dock 3.
Thus, you will have a better idea of the enigmatic and eclectic "Reina del Plata" ( Queen of River Plate). |
