What to expect
Retiro
This English neighbourhood is the best introduction to our tour as it has deep roots with football
The mythical arena were players like Maradona, Riquelme and Palermo played, before heading to Nuñez to check out the stadium of Boca's arch-nemesis: River Plate.
Estadio Diego Armando Maradona
Visit the stadium where Diego started his dream.
Estadio "Monumental" Antonio Vespucio Liberti, also referred to as River Plate Stadium, Monumental de Nuñez, or simply El Monumental, is a stadium in Belgrano, Buenos Aires, Argentina, home of the football club River Plate.
Comuna 11
"La Casa de D10S" This house, bought by the family of Maradona's first lawyer, was the first house bought by Maradona when he signed with Argentinos Juniors Fútbol Club, where he lived with his parents and started his relationship with Claudia Villafañe. Here you'll learn about the history of Maradona and Argentine soccer while you explore his old house with a futbol enthusiast. Admission is included.
Located in Retiro, Plaza San Martín is one of the city’s oldest squares and was the site of several historic events. A decisive battle took place here during the second British invasion of Buenos Aires in 1807, and, in 1812, General San Martín chose the area to locate the barracks of his mounted granadiers regiment, reason why the square was named Plaza San Martín to mark the centenary of the independence hero’s birth in 1878. The squares current design owes much to French landscaper Charles Thays, who designed many of Buenos Aires’ parks and squares. As well as containing examples of several native and foreign trees, the square contains several important monuments and sculptures.
Caminito
Located in La boca, the Caminito (little path, in Spanish) is a street museum of colourful painted houses typical of the immigrant dwellings that came to characterise this portside area towards the end of the 19th and start of the 20th century. The Caminito followed the route of an old stream that once flowed into the Riachuelo, and later, after the river dried up, formed part of a railroad route. After the closure of the railroad, the street was largely abandoned until in the 1950s a group of neighbours decided to regenerate the area and local artist Benito Quinquela Martín began using the tenements as his canvas.
