You step off the tram and the city folds around you—street vendors calling, tango strains from a nearby café, and broad avenues that wear history like a coat. The audio begins gently in your ear, not as a guide leading you forward but as a companion pointing out the city’s small rebellions: a pink palace with hidden corridors, a metallic flower that opens to the sun, and alleys where immigrant families welded new lives from old luggage.
