6.Palacio Barolo Guided Night Tour with Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 54 reviews · from $90

Enter Palacio Barolo after dark for a 1.5-hour bilingual tour through Art Nouveau and Art Deco halls, then ride 14 floors and climb eight narrow stairways to the lighthouse. Your guide explains the building’s links to Dante’s Divine Comedy before you finish with a glass of Argentine red or white wine and city views.

“It was an amazing place to see and very unique to see the city up top inside the light turret. The guide was very informative and was excellent at explaining in both Spanish and English for the group. I would recommend an evening tour as you get excellent reviews. But be prepared to walk up 8 narrow flights of stairs to reach the top. It's worth it, but the stairs only wind round and it's not too strenuous. However, keep your head down if tall until you reach the top. It's a good example of art deco style.”
