Every day, you can get on the yellow bus or the red bus and tour Buenos Aires on two different circuits with which you will make the most of your time in the City.

This service has the hop-on hop-off mode, which allows you, within the duration of your ticket - there are 24 or 48 hour passes - to get off and get back on as many times as you want and at any of the stops.

The buses run every 30 minutes and the rides last approximately 3 hours. They will take you through the most emblematic areas of Buenos Aires and, something essential is that when you get on, you will receive a pair of headphones through which you will be able to follow an audio guide (available in Spanish, English, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and Russian). This will make you know the details and curiosities of each attraction.

Get ready to take the best images of the heart of Buenos Aires, with panoramic views of historical places and cultural spaces. Also, to bring you a great experience of unique neighborhoods. In addition, these vehicles take care of the environment: they run only on biodiesel.

Some of the points that you will be able to visit are Plaza Congreso, Avenida de Mayo, Paseo de la Historieta, San Telmo, La Bombonera, La Boca y Caminito, Costanera Sur, Puerto Madero, Galerías Pacífico, Plaza San Martín, Parque Thays and the Floralis Genérica, the MALBA, the Planetarium, the Monument of the Spanish and the Museum of Fine Arts.



More accessibility​

The buses are accessible to people with motor disabilities and have a sign language story from the tourist guide that you can see on the screens.
If you have a certificate of disability (CUD), you do not need to get a ticket because just by showing it and presenting your identity document, you will be able to board for free at any of the stops. If your CUD clarifies “with companion”, you can go up with another person, both free of charge.

Recoleta, Columbus Theatre, May Avenue, Congress Square, Cartoon Walk, Dorrego Square, The Bombonera, Walkway, Lezama Park, Women's Bridge, Ecological Reserve, Pacific Galleries, av. 9 de Julio, St. Martin's Square, Thays Park, MALBA, Planetarium, Italian Square, Julio Cortazar Square, Arcos District, Palermo Forests, Monument of the Spaniards and National Museum of Fine Arts.

What is a Hop On Hop Off?​

Thank you @Cariba for nice post. You always post good information on BA. All my foreigner friends love this bus. I tell them maybe they can see better the places on their own. It not difficult but they like the audio explanation on bus. I never take this tour.
 
Thanks Cariba! I took the red bus (Gray Line) and it was fine. I bought the two day ticket (48 hours) for $30 since it was only $5 more than a one day ticket and it worked out well for me. That was plenty of time to see a lot of the city.

That is wonderful. What was your favorite thing of my city you like from the bus tour?
 
Where do I start? I love it here in BA. As far as the bus tour is concerned it's a great way to easily visit different parts of the city. Then you can explore the different areas as you wish.
I always so happy foreigners love my country so much. This makes me very proud.
