Classic City Tour. 3 hours at Sightseeing of Buenos Aires, a cosmopolitan city that shows the influence of the numerous herds of immigrants that formed it. The tour starts at the historic Plaza de Mayo Square, scenery of resonant politic manifestations. It is surrounded by the Government House, best known as the "Pink House", which is the seat of the Executive Branch; the Cabildo (the old City Hall) and the Cathedral. The Avenida De Mayo, which starts in this square, is an interesting set of buildings of varied styles that reflect the diversity of its inhabitants. Through this avenue, you reach the Congress Palace. Wide avenues and green areas appear constantly trying to slow down the rhythm of this vertiginous city. A sample of this is the 9 de Julio Avenue, with its eight lanes divided by small green squares with old leafy trees and enriched by sculptures and fountains. In the middle of this avenue, in the Plaza de la Republica, the Obelisk arises as a symbol of the city. Southwards, we reach the picturesque and colorful port neighborhood of La Boca with its famous street, "Caminito", whose architectonic characteristics and customs reflect the influence of the European citizens that came to this shores in the last years of the 19th century, specially Genoese sailors. The visit continues towards San Telmo, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Buenos Aires, which was also a center of immigrant settles and which keeps most of its architectonic patrimony untouched: its colonial houses, its cobbled streets. Every Sunday an antique fair is held in the Plaza Dorrego. The area has also a lively nigh-life, as there are many tango houses, restaurants and pubs. The visit then goes on towards the modern and well-off district of Puerto Madero; Palermo neighborhood with its elegant residences framed by wide green areas; reaching finally the district of Recoleta, the most sophisticated neighborhood in Buenos Aires. Starting Hour: Mondays to Saturdays: 09:00 a.m. or 02.00 p.m. and Sundays: 01:30 p.m. (Pick up at hotel lobby 30 minutes prior).

In Buenos Aires of the last years of the 19th century, when tango was starting to become known and get into people´s souls, mixing slowly with the essence of the natives and of the immigrants; the neighborhood of Abasto, named after the Supplies Market, was witness of the birth of an undisputed idol: Carlos Gardel, “el Morocho del Abasto” that would become, here and abroad, the icon of Tango.In the neighborhood of Abasto, in the corner of the street that today has his name and where a statue of him is placed, there was a restaurant called “El Chanta Cuatro” where the picturesque guys of the market would gathered and where “Carlitos” used to meet his friends. The restaurant opened in 1893. Nowadays, more than 100 years after, the history repeats and in the same place, “Esquina Carlos Gardel”, this unique theme restaurant, was inaugurated.
