Your tour continues with a visit to the monumental Retiro Railway Station, its designed inspired by French Academic influences. Stroll along the elegant Arroyo Street, home to some of the finest art galleries in the city. Continue along Alvear Avenue, a sort of smaller-scale Champs ElysÉes. Once here, marvel at the sumptuous French-styled palaces, such as the OrtÍz Basualdo Palace, now known as the French Embassy, and the Pereda Palace, which now houses the Brazilian Embassy.

View some of Buenos Aires’ most beautiful public buildings built during the period 1890 and 1930, most originally constructed as homes for wealthy Buenos Aires families. The Museum of Decorative Arts was the former home to the Errazuriz-Alvear Chilean-Argentine family, decorated in eclectic style including neo-Classical, Louis XIV, Rococo and Louis XVI. Circulo Militar, designed in Paris and built in Buenos Aires for the Paz family who owned the La Prensa newspaper, is now used for public and private activities. The French Embassy was owned by the Ortiz Basualdo family until 1939 and the Brazilian Embassy by the Pereda family until 1944. The Vatican Embassy was the home of the Fernandez de Anchorenas—all wonderful examples of French influence in the city’s architecture. The Palacio San Martin—today the Foreign Affairs Ministry—belonged to the Anchorena Family, and the Palacio Estrougamou is now a condominium building. Many others are used now for business and social events, such as the Bencich and Aberg Cobo homes, among others.
