Vividly painted houses and an atmosphere of artistic expression define this waterfront district, where the working-class roots of Buenos Aires remain deeply embedded. Originally settled by Italian immigrants, its heritage is reflected in the colourful façades of Caminito, a pedestrian street lined with street performers, tango dancers, and open-air galleries. Football culture is equally prominent, with the iconic La Bombonera stadium serving as the home of Boca Juniors. Traditional cantinas serve hearty meals, where local dishes such as fugazzeta and milanesa take centre stage. Art museums, including Fundación Proa, showcase avant-garde exhibitions, while artisan markets present handcrafted souvenirs. The Riachuelo River frames the district, adding to its maritime character. Although it thrives as a cultural destination by day, evenings remain quieter, preserving its historical charm.
