About this activity

Visit the Jewish Buenos Aires with a local Jewish historian who field of expertise is on Jewish Argentinian History.

Buenos Aires hosts a Jewish community of 150,000 persons. With this tour you will visit the Jewish area, synagogues, the Jewish Museum, and will learn about the history of Jewish immigration to Argentina, the immigration of the Jewish Holocaust survivors to Argentina, Argentina and the Holocaust, among other subjects.

Although we have a car and a driver available all the time, I recommend having a little walk around the Jewish area, so you get the vibe.

On Saturdays synagogues and the Jewish Museum are closed to visitors, so it's not possible to access.

On Sundays there is a change in the itinerary because The Jewish Museum and Libertad Synagogue are closed, so we replace it with the ND Ateneo, a beautiful library that was built by Max Glücksman, a Jewish immigrant who brought the cinema to the country.
