Viewing the Obelisco from ground level is free and a nice photo , but late afternoon or golden hour viewing of the city from inside the top is the best views in the city. Time at the top is about 10 minutes each group of only four people at a time.
About Activity
Experience Buenos Aires from a truly unique perspective: inside the Obelisk, the city’s most iconic landmark. This exclusive experience begins with a brief introductory talk that reveals the monument’s history and curiosities before you ascend by elevator to its highest point. At the top, panoramic views invite you to admire the city from its four windows—north, south, east, and west—revealing historic avenues, domes, and the vibrant urban pulse from an exceptional vantage point.
You can choose between two distinct atmospheres: a daytime visit, ideal for appreciating the full scale and architectural beauty of Buenos Aires, or a sunset/night visit, where the illuminated skyline, glowing avenues, and shifting city lights create a magical and unforgettable scene. Both options offer a remarkable way to rediscover the essence of Buenos Aires from above.
