The Palacio Barolo is one of the most symbolic, mysterious, and fascinating buildings in Buenos Aires. On this guided tour, you'll uncover the secrets hidden within the structure, which used to be the tallest building in South America.
Palacio Barolo Tour
History, literature, and architecture come together in a unique cultural experience. We'll meet at the main entrance of the stunning Palacio Barolo, located in the historic Avenida de Mayo, to begin our tour inside this architectural gem of Buenos Aires.
Throughout the visit, we'll explore the rooms, halls, and corners of this building. Did you know it has a twin brother in Montevideo, called Palacio Salvo? The building's design reflects Dante's Divine Comedy. Guided by the rich symbolism of this piece, we'll journey through hell, purgatory, and heaven, the three areas where this unique and imposing Argentine building is divided.
On the tour, we'll also stop to see the detailed recreation of a 1920s office, the ideal environment to transport you back to the golden era when this palace was inaugurated.
Finally, we'll end the experience in the best way by climbing up almost 328 ft (100 m) until we reach the lighthouse of Palacio Barolo, the perfect place to enjoy the spectacular views of the city of Buenos Aires. Take a picture!
1.5 hours later, we'll conclude this guided tour of the Palacio Barolo.
