The experience

You start at Gorriti 4886, the office entrance in the heart of Palermo, and walk through a neighborhood that has earned its place on lists of the world's top street art destinations. Buenos Aires hosts nearly every style of urban art (graffiti, mosaic tiling, muralling, stencil work, sticker art, street installations, wheat pasting, wood blocking, yarn bombing and LED pieces), and Palermo concentrates them. The guide walks you past "Sommelier en Bicicleta" between Gorriti and Gurruchaga, then through Jazmin Deco and Pasaje de Soria, where the work shifts as you move block to block.

The route covers five passageways and Plaza Serrano, each one a different pocket of the neighborhood. Pasaje Santa Rosa, Pasaje Russel and the stretch around Plaza Serrano each carry their own mix of pieces: some fresh, some layered over older work. The guide talks through the artists' choices and the evolution of the movement itself, so you're not just looking at the walls. You're reading how the neighborhood has changed. The walk stays on foot the whole time, moving at a pace that lets you stop and look without rushing past.

The tour loops back to the starting point after an hour, which means if you're staying elsewhere in Buenos Aires or arrived without a car, you can walk or take public transport to Gorriti and meet the group. The guide speaks English or Spanish, so you choose the language when you book. Children from age 1 can come along, though the walk is steady and covers ground on pavement.
