"This neighborhood is known for its brightly colored buildings, tango, street performers, and most especially of note- home to the Boca Jrs. That is the futbol team where Maradona played. The stadium, La Bombonera, is about 4 blocks from the heart of La Boca.
Wander the streets of El Caminito and Magallenes, where you'll find street vendors selling painted works of art and Boca Jr's magnets and other specialty items.
Walk along the water where the cobblestones are painted brightly with reds, greens, blues, and yellows.
This is absolutely the most tourist-concentrated area of the entire city in a 3-block radius. There are also a couple great museums in the vicinity.
This neighborhood is right next to the Dock Sud, which brings along with it a sketchy vibe. I don't suggest spending too much time outside of the main tourist section of this neighborhood. My iPhone got stolen right from my hands as I was using it. The thief grabbed it and jumped on the back of a motorcycle, and off they went.
This neighborhood is a worth spending a couple hours- have a stroll, have lunch, see some street tango, and then get out. There are much better places in the city to spend your time."

"Caminito, a unique place in the world. A place where we can find this tenements but painted in different colours. This is where the immigrants lived when they arrived by ship to Argentina and where they started their new life in the country. Sometimes a group of 10 or more people lived in the same house.
Around this area you can see some Tango shows on the street and visit Quinquela Martin's Museum"

"One of our favourite parts of Buenos Aires was La Boca. This place is filled with beautiful colourful buildings, tango shows, restaurants and bars, and cute gift shops with unique souvenirs. This is a great place for a stroll and to experience the culture here. "
