La Boca is Buenos Aires' most colourful and vibrant barrio and, thanks to the Genoese immigrants who came to live here in the 19^th century, has a strong European ambiance. It’s brightly hued wooden buildings have become one of the symbols of the city, its football stadium, La Bombonera, Argentina’s most famous and the street art an attraction in its own right.

Here, the best thing to do is stroll down the main thoroughfare, La Caminito, enjoying performances of music and tango and browsing the tango-related souvenirs.
