Activity itinerary

El Once Barrio Comercial

  • 30m
Step into the bustling garment district, known locally as “Once,” where the hum of sewing machines and the rhythm of deliveries fill the streets. This area has long been a hub for Jewish textile merchants and artisans, shaping both the neighborhood’s character and Buenos Aires’ fashion industry. As you walk through Once, you’ll see shopfronts overflowing with fabrics, zips, and buttons, and learn how Jewish immigrants built family businesses here, blending hard work, community ties, and entrepreneurial spirit to create a vibrant commercial centre that remains active today

AMIA CULTURA

  • 30m
The AMIA building stands as a central pillar of Jewish life in Buenos Aires, serving the community’s cultural, social, and welfare needs. It is also a place of remembrance, as it was the site of the tragic 1994 bombing, the deadliest antisemitic attack in Latin America. As we visit the surroundings of AMIA, we reflect on the lives lost and the resilience of the community, exploring how memory, justice, and continuity are woven into the everyday life of Jewish Buenos Aires. This stop offers a moment to honour the past while witnessing the ongoing strength of the community today.

Avenida Corrientes

  • 30m
It has been a gathering place for Jewish immigrants for generations, reflecting the community’s cultural contributions to the arts, literature, and everyday life of Buenos Aires.The Kosher McDonald’s—one of the few in the world—highlights the unique blend of global and local Jewish identity, where international brands adapt to serve the Orthodox community, and where pastrami sandwiches share space with classic McDonald’s fries in the heart of the city.

Helueni

  • 15m
Helueni, a beloved Jewish deli, offers classics like knishes and pastrami sandwiches, illustrating how Jewish flavours and Argentine tastes come together in the everyday life of this bustling area.
