Teatro Colón Guided Tour & Historic Palaces Walking Tour

Explore one of the world's celebrated opera houses and discover Buenos Aires' Belle Époque architecture on a guided walking tour.

Buenos Aires underwent an extraordinary transformation at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. Growing wealth, European immigration and ambitious architectural projects reshaped the Argentine capital and helped create the grand avenues and monumental buildings that still define much of the city today.

This cultural experience brings that period to life by combining two of its greatest legacies: the magnificent Teatro Colón and the elegant palaces of Buenos Aires.

Opened in 1908, Teatro Colón became one of the world's celebrated opera houses, internationally recognized for its architecture and acoustics. Its stage has welcomed legendary performers and musicians including Maria Callas, Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, Rudolf Nureyev and Daniel Barenboim.

Your experience includes skip-the-line admission to Teatro Colón, allowing you to step inside this remarkable building and discover the history behind one of Argentina's greatest cultural landmarks.

But Buenos Aires' architectural story extends far beyond the theater.

After the Teatro Colón visit, continue on foot with your local guide to discover the grand palaces and European-inspired buildings of Buenos Aires.

Learn about the wealthy families who commissioned these residences and the extraordinary period when the Argentine capital looked toward Paris and other European cities for architectural inspiration. It was during this era that Buenos Aires earned its enduring reputation as the “Paris of South America.”
