If you like the idea of discovering Buenos Aires from above, we’re happy to tell you that March marks the start of the 2026 edition of free guided tours of the city’s viewpoints, giving you access to terraces, towers, and domes that are almost never open to the public —and for free!
Terrazas, Torres y Cúpulas Icónicas de Buenos Aires (Terraces, Towers, and Iconic Domes of Buenos Aires) opens its doors for free guided tours: How to sign up and which historic buildings you can visit for free
This series of free tours of historic viewpoints in Buenos Aires that are rarely open to the public invites you to rediscover Buenos Aires from above and appreciate emblematic buildings from different eras. All activities are free of charge, but most require prior registration (and tend to sell out quickly).
