City Tour
Hop-On / Hop-Off
Buenos Aires is a BIG city. We 100% recommend doing the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Ride - It's a very easy way to get around the city's most emblematic places and get a 360 view of what Buenos Aires is all about. It gives you the option to get off wherever you want to explore further or just see what's going on from the roof of a yellow bus. We did it the first time Boki came to Buenos Aires and it's really worth it. For information and tickets check out this link: https://www.buenosairesbus.com/en
