San Telmo by bike: history around every corner

San Telmo is a neighbourhood of old facades, cobblestones, antique shops and tango culture. Exploring it by bike gives you a way to connect its landmarks with the wider southern part of Buenos Aires.

Defensa Street brings together galleries, murals and shops. The San Telmo Market is a place to stop and discover local food, while Parque Lezama and the nearby National Historical Museum offer another perspective on the city’s past. Plan time to explore crowded areas on foot.

The South Circuit links the history of San Telmo with other city landmarks, including La Boca, Plaza de Mayo and Puerto Madero. Ask BA Bikes about the route and stops for your departure.

For a self-guided outing, the team can help you choose a comfortable city bike and plan your route. Bring water and comfortable shoes, and allow time for photos and breaks.
