This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Plaza de Mayo, Av. Hipolito Yrigoyen S/N, Buenos Aires Argentina
The Plaza de Mayo is the oldest in Buenos Aires and the scene of all the most important political events in Argentine history, with the exception of the Declaration of Independence.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Catedral Metropolitana de Buenos Aires, San Martín 27, C1004 CABA, Argentina
Located in front of Plaza de Mayo, at the intersection of Calle San Martín and Avenida Rivadavia, the Metropolitan Cathedral is the main headquarters of the Catholic Church of Argentina.

Stop At: Banco de la Nacion Argentina, Av Rivadavia, Buenos Aires Argentina
Located near the Casa Rosada, in the San Nicolás neighborhood, the Banco de la Nación is a building with monumental characteristics.
Between 1857 and 1888 the first Teatro Colón operated here, but its history as a bank dates back to 1891, when the Argentine financial system was in crisis. To support agricultural and livestock producers, the National Government founded this bank with state capital. Today, Banco de la Nación Argentina has more than 500 branches in the country and in Latin America, the United States and Europe.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Cabildo, Calle Gral Simon Bolivar 65, Buenos Aires C1066AAA Argentina
The Cabildo de Buenos Aires, headquarters of the colonial administration, occupies the same place since 1580, but its building underwent successive modifications. The first references to the Cabildo come from the early seventeenth century. By 1608, it had adobe walls and a thatched roof. The interior was divided into two: a meeting room and another that functioned as a prison. The tiles arrived two years later and, by the middle of the century, the Cabildo had a balcony and towers made of wood and clay. By 1725, the building was in very bad shape and it was decided to demolish it. In return, a new one began to rise, based on a project by the Italian Andrés Blanqui. Thus, the Cabildo as we know it today began to take shape.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Iglesia de San Ignacio de Loyola, Calle Bolivar 225 Esquina Alsina 520, Buenos Aires 1091 Argentina
he Church of San Ignacio is the oldest in the City, built by the Jesuits between 1686 and 1722, and is part of the Manzana de las Luces. The church is the work of the Jesuit architects Krauss, Bianchi and Prímoli and underneath runs part of the tunnels built in colonial times, used for defense and smuggling.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Casa Rosada, Calle Balcarce 50, Buenos Aires C1064AAB Argentina
The Casa Rosada is a palace located in front of the Plaza de Mayo that functions as the headquarters of the National Government. This imposing pink building occupies the property where the Fort of Buenos Aires was erected in 1580. It was the residence of Spanish viceroys and later it housed, with some reforms, the authorities of the successive national governments. The current building is the product of the merger of two previous constructions: the presidential headquarters and the Palacio de Correos (on the corner of Hipólito Yrigoyen and Balcarce).
