Free Tour Buenos Aires: myths, power, and foundations

Buenos Aires was not born all at once nor from a single idea. It was born from myths, power struggles, and decisions that still shape the city.

This free tour covers the places where Buenos Aires was founded and where its political, cultural, and urban destiny was defined.

Through squares, historic buildings, palaces, and notable cafés, we will discover what was built, who made the decisions, and what stories remain in the collective memory. It's not just a walk: it's a way to understand how the city was built from its foundations to today.

We begin at Plaza de Mayo, the symbolic heart of Argentina, a stage for agreements, confrontations, celebrations, and crises. A space where power left visible marks... and others not so much.

We continue along Avenida de Mayo, a true architectural catwalk that reflects the ideals, tensions, and contradictions of modern Buenos Aires, amidst European influences, political projects, and local life.

The tour ends at the Palacio Barolo, one of the city's most symbolically charged buildings, in front of the National Congress, a perfect closure to connect myths, power, and the contemporary city.

At the end of the tour, you will receive practical and local recommendations to continue exploring Buenos Aires beyond the classic tourist circuits.

A tour for those who want to look at Buenos Aires with different eyes and understand why this city is the way it is.
