Four Balconies of Buenos Aires TourToday’s “Four Balconies of Buenos Aires” tour begins at Plaza de Mayo, the historic and political center of Buenos Aires. This square has been the backdrop for key events in Argentina’s history and is surrounded by notable landmarks, churches, and theaters. Heading south, you will explore Parque Lezama and La Boca, one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, where artists' studios and vividly painted houses create a lively atmosphere. In La Boca, you can sample some of Argentina’s most iconic street foods, including empanadas, choripán—a chorizo sandwich distinct from "bife de chorizo"—and the country’s unique take on Italian pizza. To end on a sweet note, enjoy Argentina’s version of Italian gelato. Moving north, you arrive at Plaza San Martín, named after independence leader José de San Martín. This green space is home to monuments and statues and offers sweeping views of Puerto Madero and Retiro from its natural cliffside. Nearby, the city’s architecture shifts from the informal style of the south to the European-inspired elegance of the 19th century. The final stop is Recoleta, a neighborhood known for its grand, French-style buildings and refined atmosphere. Here, we’ll visit the renowned Recoleta Cemetery, where elaborate mausoleums and statues mark the graves of historical figures, including Eva Perón and several Argentine presidents.

Street Food Tour of Buenos AiresToday, dive into the city’s food culture with a guided street food tour through San Telmo, one of Buenos Aires’ most historic and atmospheric neighborhoods. Your first stop introduces you to empanadas, Argentina’s beloved savory pastries, typically filled with meat, cheese, or vegetables. Learn about the regional variations and discover why these hand-held delights are a staple of local cuisine. Sample choripán, a simple yet irresistible sandwich featuring grilled chorizo in crusty bread, often topped with chimichurri. Unlike the well-known "bife de chorizo," this dish is a street food favorite, enjoyed at markets, food stalls, and parrillas (grill stands) throughout the city. Continue your culinary journey with Argentina’s take on Italian pizza. Unlike its Neapolitan counterpart, Buenos Aires-style pizza is thick, cheesy, and generously topped. One of the most popular choices is fugazzeta, a cheese-filled delight topped with caramelized onions. Finish the tour with a sweet treat, Argentinian gelato, a legacy of the country’s strong Italian influence. With flavors ranging from classic dulce de leche to seasonal fruit varieties, this dessert is the perfect way to end your exploration of Buenos Aires’ street food scene.
