Tours of the City Walking Tours The tourist office can supply a map detailing recommended routes around the city’s most appealing neighbourhoods. It also organises a programme of guided cultural walks in key areas of the city. Popular walking tours include those devoted to locations and attractions associated with Evita and Porteño writer Jorge Luis Borges. All of the walking tours are free; they have various different meeting points and lengths but may be cancelled due to bad weather.
