Cafe Tortoni

You now pass the Tortoni café, the oldest café in town and certainly the most famous. If there’s anything special about Buenos Aires, it’s its ambient nostalgia and taste for tradition.
Iglesia de San Ignacio de Loyola

Passing by

You now arrive in front of the beautiful white church of San Ignacio de Loyola. If you are familiar with the name of Ignatius Loyola, Spanish military and then religious, leader of the Counter-Reformation and founder of the Society of Jesus, you suspect that the church must have a connection with the Jesuits.
Casa Rosada

Passing by

Here you are in Plaza de Mayo facing the famous Casa Rosada, which as its name suggests and as you can see for yourself, is pink. Versions of the reason for choosing the color to paint the seat of government differ and have fed urban legends since 1870.

Galeria Guemes

Passing by

On your right you can see the entrance to the Galeries Güemes. So, it doesn’t necessarily look like it, seen from the outside, but they are beautiful covered galleries in European fashion, inaugurated in 1915 and decorated in a magnificent Art Deco style with canopies, domes, sculpted walls, extravagant elevators and everything that goes with it.
Stop 13
