Departure Point

Teatro Colón, Cerrito 628, C1049AAN CABA, Argentina

  • Teatro Colon, Buenos Aires, Argentina
    The Teatro Colón is an opera house in the city of Buenos Aires. Due to its size, acoustics and trajectory, it´s considered one of the five best in the world. Comparable with the most important lyrical rooms in the world, such as the Scala in Milan, the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, the State Opera of Vienna, the Royal Opera House (Covent Garden) in London and the Paris Opera, it is an unavoidable place for music lovers. The Teatro Colón has always been a theater revered by the public and the most renowned artists.
    50 minutes
  • C1087AAE, Adolfo Alsina 465, CABA, Argentina
    At the corner of Alvear Avenue and Rodriguez Peña Street, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Recoleta, there is an imposing four-story building that draws attention for its particular physiognomy. This is Casey Palace, the current headquarters of the Ministry of Culture of the Nation. Its red and gray façade, made up of exposed bricks and strips of Paris-like stone and exquisite ornamental details, plus the mansardas in the black slate roofing at the top, make up a visual appeal that causes people passing by not able to resist the temptation to photograph it.
    10 minutes
  • Embajada de Francia, Buenos Aires, Argentina
    The house that belonged to Ortiz Basualdo-Zapiola is today the headquarters of the Embassy of France. Built between 1912 and 1918, it is considered one of the buildings that best represents the architecture of French academicism. It keeps a great variety of styles that reflect the artistic value
    10 minutes
  • Embajada de Brasil, Buenos Aires, Argentina
    At the beginning of Alvear Avenue, in front of the Embassy of France and the Plaza Carlos Pellegrini, there is the Pereda Palace, a château of the 20th century that reflects like no other the marked influence of French architecture in the Buenosairean physiognomy of the time. But its imposing facade, its lavish staircases and its rooms decorated with majestic ceilings, Carrara marble and incredible works of art, hide a unique history, and the whims of a man that led to the design of the palace being projected and finished by two different architects
    10 minutes
  • Posadas 1086, C1011 CABA, Argentina
    The Álzaga Unzué palace speaks of an Argentina of the beginning of the last century, with a society of contrasts between the arrival of poor Europe and the Creole agro-export aristocracy that looked at Europe and dreamed of a new Paris on the banks of the Río de la Plata. The construction was in charge of the Scottish architect Robert Russell, who spent four years in the work, but managed to combine the English Edwardian style that Felix liked with Elena's taste for the French castles of the Loire. It has the typical structure of a hotel particulier of the Belle Époque: a large mansion designed where a single family with four floors of well-defined functions would live.
    10 minutes
  • Av. Alvear 1637, C1014 AAD, Buenos Aires, Argentina
    The Palacio Fernández Anchorena is a luxurious mansion from the beginning of the 20th century and one of the few residences of the Buenos Aires upper class that still survives on Avenida Alvear. It currently belongs to the Holy See and functions as the headquarters of the Apostolic Nunciature in Buenos Aires.
    10 minutes
  • Av. Alvear 1661, C1014AAD CABA, Argentina
    Declared a historical monument in 2002, the Duhau Palace is one of the architectural examples that remain of the Buenos Aires Belle Epoque. With its history that dictates from the beginning of the century, and its changes in the structure, the Duhau Palace is a sample of the passion that previous owners had for architecture. At the beginning of the 30s, the Duhau brothers acquired the building that belonged to Teodoro de Bari, and they commissioned the architect León Dourge to build the current building. He built it with a French neoclassical style that is still inspiring and unique today.
    10 minutes
  • Residencia Maguire, Buenos Aires, Argentina
    On the corner of Rodríguez Peña and Alvear streets, stands one of the most enigmatic buildings in the city of Buenos Aires, the Maguire Residence, one of the few surviving works of a corridor of mansions of the upper middle class that were demolished or transformed into hotels. Since 2002, this lavish villa was declared a National Historic Monument, as were its two adjacent residences, the current Duhau-Park Hyatt Palace and the Apostolic Nunciature, all belonging to a family of French origin: the Duhau.

This walking tour was absolutely fantastic. The history behind the Teatro Colón is truly impressive. Our guide was outstanding—very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. After the theatre visit, she took us to explore the beautiful architecture of the city. I genuinely enjoyed every moment of this walking tour and highly recommend it.

The last time I was in Buenos Aires in 2005, I took a short tour of Teatro Colon and wanted a more in depth experience this time. I found this tour, which also included a palace walking tour afterward. Our guide, Mariela, facilitated our entry into the theater, where another guide, Vanesa, led the theater portion. Vanesa spoke excellent English and kept the tour moving, even though the group was much larger than I expected. Next time I will look for a private tour. The only time the group size became an issue was during the visit to the private boxes. There were not enough boxes open for everyone, so if you were not among the first to enter, you ended up in the back, which limited your photo opportunities. Since my partner and I were toward the back, she used a selfie stick to compensate and was scolded by the guide. I am not sure why a selfie stick was a problem in such a large space, but it was forbidden. Please be aware of this rule when you visit, because we did not see it posted anywhere. After the theater portion, we met back up with Mariela, who continued with the palace walking tour in English. This part of the tour was fascinating, because we learned about the nearby palaces and their history. We also discovered some hidden gems, such as the small Museo Nacional de Arte Decorativo inside the Palacio Errazuriz Alvear. It was packed with so much to see in such a compact space. It was wonderful and very interesting. The walking tour included the following stops: Palacio de Justicia (Tribunales), Teatro Cervantes, Av. 9 de Julio, Palacio Paz, Palacio San Martin (Cancilleria), Calle Arroyo, Palacio Noel (Estilo colonial espanol), Embajada de Francia (Palacio Ortiz Basualdo), La Mansion (Four Seasons), Palacio Pereda, Nunciatura, Palacio Duhau (Park Hyatt), Mansion Maguire, and Alvear Palace. Mariela would have kept going, but after nearly two hours of walking, we were tired and hungry, so we parted ways. We definitely got our money’s worth and appreciated Mariela’s knowledge and friendly demeanor. She even offered to walk us back to our hotel, although we told her it was not necessary. This combined experience was worth the price, and I highly recommend it for anyone who is comfortable walking moderate distances and wants a deeper understanding of Teatro Colon and the surrounding palaces.
