Description
Discover the city's finest art museums and hidden architectural gems Join us for a unique cultural journey through Buenos Aires as we visit the three most iconic art museums in the city: • the National Museum of Fine Arts, • the National Museum of Decorative Arts, and • the MALBA (Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires). These museums are all within walking distance, and the path between them winds through some of the city’s most beautiful and underrated areas in Recoleta and Palermo. As we walk, we’ll explore hidden corners most tourists miss — quiet streets filled with architectural treasures, lush parks, elegant monuments, and local stories that bring the city’s cultural richness to life. Inside each museum, we’ll focus on a carefully curated selection of highlights, with a special emphasis on Argentine and Latin American art. Expect an eclectic and inspiring experience, guided by someone passionate about the artistic and historical soul of Buenos Aires.
