Price of admission: $1.20 (small change only)
Location: Start just across the street from el Caminito in La Boca

Summary: Pick up the 29 at the bottom of El Caminito in La Boca and go for a tour past most of city’s iconic monuments. This bus will first take you through San Telmo, and then past the Plaza de Mayo. Once the bus trundles around the Casa Rosada, it will take you down Avenida de Mayo, past the Obelisco, the Palacio de Justicia and the Palacio de Aguas Corrientes. Get off of the bus at Plaza Italia, where you can then choose to wander the Botanic Gardens, the Zoo, La Rural, or even walk all the way down Sarmiento to the Planetarium.

LandingPadBA.com Recommendation: For any Buenos Aires first-timer this is a must-do! Rest your weary bones on the bus as you orient yourself to the city and its sites. The ambiance of the crowded colectivo (bus), will set the mood perfectly for your stay here and help you to gain confidence as you learn to navigate this Goliath of a city.
