Giro veloce in bici da Buenos Aires a Retiro

Start your ride in the heart of Buenos Aires and cruise north towards Retiro, one of the city’s key neighborhoods and terminal areas. This route is just about 5 km, making it a quick and pleasant ride, mostly on quiet roads with the occasional bustling avenue and some dedicated cycleway segments. Expect a gentle rise and fall—nothing too challenging, with a max elevation around 45 meters.

Buenos Aires’ iconic downtown soon gives way to the leafy avenues and stately buildings of Retiro. Along the way, you’ll pass classic city scenes: busy porteños going about their day, cafes spilling onto narrow sidewalks, and perhaps the distant clang of a tram. The surfaces switch between smooth asphalt and authentic old paving stones, so you get that urban cycling vibe.

Retiro itself is a hub, home to the historic train station, Plaza San Martín’s sweeping green lawns, and close to the famous Torre Monumental (“the British Clock Tower”). It’s a lively spot whether you’re heading to a train, a park, or just soaking in the city’s energy after your ride.
