The South Riverside Road of Buenos Aires city is a great place to visit in this time of year. The fresh wind of the River Plate mixtures with the beauty of the parks and the fantastic Argentine food stands. But there’s a lot more to see in this part of town: right there is located the Buenos Aires Museums Direction, in a building that used to work as the old Munich Brewery.From this traditional Porteño building which possesses a high historical value and a remarkable free version of Bavarian architecture (designed by the Hungarian Andrés Kálnay), free guided tours are offered. These tour are spontaneously organized in working hours during the week (from 10AM to 6PM) and until 7PM on weekends. There are special free guided tours for tourist in different languages (English, Portuguese and Italian), Mondays to Fridays from 2PM to 6PM.
The tour starts in this old German brewery -worked until the 70s- and continues through the South Riverside Road and the Old City Beach Club, exclusive meeting place for Porteños in the first decades of the past century. Near that place, the afternoon may end in the City’s Natural Reserve or in one of the dozens of bars in the modern docks of Puerto Madero.The Buenos Aires Museums Direction is on 851 De los Italianos Avenue. You can get there by bus or subway, or just walking towards the river from Plaza de Mayo, crossing the Puerto Madero docks you’ll get to the path with a stone viewpoint framed by the green trees of the Natural Reserve. A tour you can’t miss if you’re visiting Buenos Aires this summer.
