Tour description

Free tour of the Retiro neighborhood, from what was a field to the heart of this enormous city.

We will begin our free tour in one of the oldest, epicentric and luxurious areas of Buenos Aires , the retirement neighborhood and its vast and interesting history and the areas that surround it. What aristocratic and very important families lived there? Why is it called that? What 5-star hotels surround Plaza San Martín? Why would it then be the center of all Buenos Aires?
We will learn about the history of the railroad as well as the famous Florida pedestrian walkway, its most notable buildings , we will visit the luxurious Pacifico galleries full of glamor and art and, of course, we will have a coffee in Havanna with its typical alfajores for those who wish and we will culminate in the avenue that never sleeps........which one is it???!!
