La Boca is a neighborhood, or barrio of the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires. It retains a strong European flavour, with many of its early settlers being from the Italian city of Genoa. In fact the name has a strong assonance with the genoese neighborhood of Boccadasse (or Bocadaze in genoese dialect), and some people also affirms that the Buenos Aires' barrio was indeed named after it. After a lengthy general strike, La Boca seceded from Argentina in 1882, and the rebels raised the Genoese flag, which was immediately torn down personally by then President Julio Argentino Roca. It is known throughout the sporting world as the home of Boca Juniors, one of South America's top football clubs.
- The Clara Chevalier Museum is AR$ 3 and included a guided tour by Ms. Chevalier herself (in spanish, but you will be able to understand each other with a bit of spanish and english). She is a bit of an eccentric, but has a painting in Cafe Tortoni. The museum includes her paintings, a recreation of her childhood bedroom in the old home destroyed by autopista construction, and an old conventillo which once housed six families. There is a copy of an old deed for the property, as well as items such as a ticket printer from the old Boca railroad. You can get somewhat of an idea of living was like back then, with the bathroom, although most of it is focused on her paintings and her youth.
- The Port - one of the defining images of BA is the brightly coloured houses clustered by the port / river. Seems a bit "for the tourists", but travelling here gives you a glimpse of the "other side" of BA beyond the elegance.
- La Bombonera - the 60,000 capacity home of Boca Juniors - the most famous football club in Argentina and club of it's most famous son - . The large crowd is loud and passionate - watching a match is not for the feint hearted. Besides regular football matches, La Bombonera can be visited. You will be guided through the changing rooms, the viewers areas and you will also spend some moments on the very playing field.
La Boca has the caminito pedestrian street with arts and crafts. There is also a river cruise you can take from there. There is a huge metal structure across the river which is picturesque. Tango dancers are in the cobblestone streets. You may try to catch a row boat to Avellaneda on the other side of the water for $0.50 pesos, but the rower may not allow you to if you are a tourist, citing it´s dangerous (peligroso). There is no subte to La Boca, but buses go there. The buildings are painted in bright colors.

Puente Nicolas Avelleneda - La Boca
Made by R@P
El puente es un símbolo del límite de la ciudad y, junto con el Obelisco, uno de los puntos extraordinarios de Buenos Aires. Ubicado en el barrio de La Boca, une la ciudad con la provincia. Fue construido con estructuras de hierro en 1908, con el objetivo de conectar peatonal y vehicularmente ambos márgenes. Fue Inaugurado el 30 de Mayo de 1914. En 1939 dejó de funcionar y, en 1960 fue desactivado. En 1993 fue declarado Sitio de Interés Cultural y Monumento Histórico Nacional tras la voluntad de derruirlo. Durante varios años, se ha intentado recuperar su funcionamiento y, en la actualidad, existe un gran interés en declararlo Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Fuente Fundación Proa
