CAR MUSEUM OF BUENOS AIRES

If you love cars, you have to visit the Car Museum of Buenos Aires. It is located just 10 minutes away from our Hostel Colonial in Villarreal neighborhood. A place to travel through a century of history on wheels: the evolution of cars, its arrival to sports and the achievements of the main Argentine drivers (as the five time F1 champion Juan Manuel Fangio).
