Unfortunately, it was drizzling and cold, but the staff let us in so we wouldn't have to endure the inclement weather. The service was excellent, they were very knowledgeable, and they created an atmosphere of excitement to go up and see everything from above. The view wasn’t crystal clear because of the rain, but it was still very beautiful. Thank you—we came back very happy that we’d done it and promised to do the same thing again, but during the day.

A truly unique experience that few Argentines have had! Everything was perfect: the guides were attentive, the tour was very well organized, the information was precise and detailed—a real treat! Don’t miss it! Tip: be sure to check out the photos they show you at the beginning; they’ll later give them to you in a folder with inserts containing information about the tour—a 10 out of 10!

It was a unique experience, especially since it has been open to the general public for the past six months—something that would have been unthinkable at first. The staff there are very friendly and explain things clearly.

Well organized, great service, and, above all, safe—we thought it was a bit pricey compared to the price on the official website, but other than that, we had a good time.

I loved the experience. Climbing the Obelisk isn’t just about reaching a viewpoint; it’s about conquering a symbol. Every step holds history, every pause builds anticipation, and once you reach the top, the city ceases to be mere noise and becomes a living landscape that breathes beneath your feet. Buenos Aires unfolds in every direction—immense, vibrant, almost infinite. Up there, you realize something: it’s not the height that’s striking, it’s the perspective. For a moment, everything seems to fall into place. Chaos becomes beauty; the ordinary becomes extraordinary. It’s not just a view. It’s an experience that changes the way you see the city… and perhaps, just a little, life itself.
    • Climb to the top of one of Buenos Aires' most iconic landmarks, which stands on the very site where the national flag was first raised in the city.

    • Timed entry to the observatory ensures you won't have to wait in long queues, giving you more room make the most of your day.

    • Ride the elevators up the 67.5-meter-tall tower for panoramic views of the city through the four east, west, north, and south-facing windows.

    • Spot landmarks like the Teatro Colón to the north, Avenida 9 de Julio, the world's widest avenue, and the Río de la Plata river on a clear day.

    • You can also choose between daytime and evening slots, giving you plenty of flexibility based on the rest of your itinerary.

    • Timed entry to the Obelisco

    • A 15-minute introduction to the observation deck

    • Daytime or evening entry window (as per option selected)

  • These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

    A really great experience—we learned a little more about the city and had a wonderful time as a family. The girls who led the tour were excellent.

    The only downside was the photo issue. I think they should ask people about the price and let them know so they don't end up spending a fortune on printing.
