A cool breeze runs down Defensa Street as vendors fold canvas and the first cafés open their doors; the city hums and invites a slow, deliberate pace. This full-day walking tour threads through cobbled lanes, colorful street murals and broad boulevards — from bohemian San Telmo through the painted facades of La Boca, past the glass towers of Puerto Madero and into the refined squares of Recoleta.
