Lovely view, the building is amazing. The terrace is quite small, but it's an experience just being up there. Very expensive for the mini portion of bread and cheese they give you, and just one drink and a glass of wine

It is well worth a visit with a guided tour but to secure your timing it is best to book for your preferred time slot the day before or earlier on their website. The tour is quite long almost two hours but in no way you would find it boring... the recommendation in one of other reviews to wonder around on your own does not really take you anywhere interesting. There are a number of stops at different levels with observation terraces which only the guide can open... and not to mention the access to the lighthouse which tops the building. The tour finishes in the small restaurant on the 16th floor Salon 1923 where you get your lemonade (assuming you did not threw away your voucher). I understand there are other options available like wine tasting, tango shows. There is another option to visit the building - to buy the ticket only to the restaurant which is half the price of the guided tour. You would still be expected to order something in the restaurant (I am sure you can get away with a cup of coffee). If for any reason you cannot do the tour - this option is definitely not to be missed! For Instagramers - best opportunity for coffee with a view :)
Beautiful building. Beautiful concept. Beautiful story. Do the guided tour, but a simple 1 hour version though. Avoid long 2 hours tours, which are just a way of getting more money out of you for a droplet of wine and average cello performance. But you do get to enjoy some breathtaking views!
Interesting building, it is worth a visit. Make a reservation for a guided tour. They also have a night tour once a week. A bit spooky.
We went to the rooftop bar only. 550 per person to go upstairs, but you get this back in food // drinks at the bar. We went on sunset to enjoy the view and the changing colours. There is a high ledge that you can see down to the sun setting behind Congress. However, the ledge is fairly short and was dominated by people videoing the sunset. Only managed to see a few glimpses of the sun set. The rest of the views are nice. The DJ played chilled out jazz tunes which were great. It is hard work to enjoy the actual sunset, and the rooftop is quite small but enjoyable enough.
Book this tour! Especially the one around sunset so you get the best view of BA that exists! The symbolism of this building is so engrained that even its street number has meaning. The guide was very considerate as I was the only Spanish speaker and took great care in ensuring that I wasn’t left behind and kept informed of every detail.
Great historic building with a very entertaining tour for history & architecture fans. The tour is given in Spanish and English and takes you up through the themed floors of the building to the preserved office and up to the viewing area with great views of the city then up a tiny staircase to the lighthouse. Definitely recommend and bring a good camera!
Definitely a stop when visiting Buenos Aires, the building it's just amazing, a really good thing that they have are the varied options to get to know the place with different activities such as the guided tour or the theme nights or just visiting the bar. The city's view from the rooftop bar it's great, it's a small place so have in mind to make a reservation if you feel like dining there, it's possible to go without reservations but only for drinks. Only comment it's that they should work on a more varied menu in both drinks and food and also the presentation of the dishes.
