On the 154th anniversary of the La Boca neighborhood, you will be able to visit 20 cultural spaces free of charge and enjoy the artistic display that characterizes this area of the City.
You will receive a sticker with the Open District logo, so you can access the museums, galleries and spaces. This distinction will also allow you to get on the vans that will be available to move from one place to another.
