Itinerary

It seemed unfeasible to explore every aspect of Buenos Aires until our tour bus arrived! With your 48-hour ticket, you can tour the city at your own speed and hop on and off at any station. To ensure you see every aspect of Buenos Aires, including the historic districts of La Boca, San Telmo, and Puerto Madero, we suggest an audio guide tour.
As the tour continues, you will be able to visit iconic buildings, historical sites, cultural venues, and the various neighborhoods of Buenos Aires in addition to the major stop in the city center. The "Postales de Buenos Aires" navigation may be accessed from stop 6, providing the best views of the city while traveling along the Río de la Plata from La Boca to Puerto Madero. You'll love how the city offers a mix of tall buildings and other iconic structures with verdant areas like the Ecological Reserve.
The trip takes about 40 minutes. As we leave La Boca behind, we'll be treated to a variety of expansive views to the east and west, showcasing the city's blend of architectural styles, port activity, and verdant green spaces. It's the perfect thing to do either before or after Hop On Hop Off.
Enhance your Buenos Aires experience with complimentary walking tours led by our expert local guides. Departing from select bus stops, these tours offer a deeper look at the city’s most iconic neighborhoods—on foot and up close.
Available Walking Tours (subject to change):
- San Telmo Tour: Explore one of Buenos Aires’ most historic districts. Highlights include the Mafalda sculpture, San Telmo Market, Plaza Dorrego, San Pedro González Telmo Parish, Casa Mínima, and Zanjón de Granados.
