At first a lot of people don't enjoy this sort of visit because it's mostly about the building itself and a very peculiar part of the city's architecture. But it was a pleasure to pay the 50 pesos and walk around, visiting the building on a weekend when there is no one around and it's possible to admire the details... More

There are daytime and evening tours available - the evening tours are more expensive, but a glass of wine is included and you get to see the entire city when you step out on the on-person balconies near the top floor. Incredible! A beautiful city lit up at night!! You have to do it! http://www.palaciobarolotours.com.ar More

We absolutely loved the night tour (Wed-Fri nights @ 8 pm). The building is a marvel and the guide, whose grandfather worked in the bldg in the 1920's made all the history come alive. But the most incredible part is the view you get of the entire city when you step out on the on-person balconies near the top floor.... More

the building is very nice, the tours are a bit rushed. doesn't require pre-booking, friendly staff. You're expected to tip at the end of the tour, but not everyone does. More

I spent a month in Buenos Aires, and was desperate to find a tall building to have a view of the city - I found Palacio Barolo! There are daytime and evening tours available - the evening tours are more expensive, but a glass of wine is included and you get to see the beautiful city lit up at night.... More

What a beautiful building but the only way to see it or the view from the top is by going on a tour, which is well worth the price. We went on a daytime tour but would love to return to see the nighttime view from the top. It is interesting hearing how the architecture is modeled after Dante's Divine... More

We went to the evening tour and it included descriptions of the building that is based on Dante's Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. As you go to about the 22 floor, you get fantastic views of the city and the congress building. They also turn on the spotlight while the group are in the tower and you get some unique photos...

Found this an excellent tour and the view of a night time is amazing. Even went right up to the top where the light was shone out across the city. A lot of steps to climb so not for the faint hearted but well worth the effort. More
