Diego Armando Maradona - Arguably the world's best ever footballer, undoubtedly the most influential. El Pelusa was a hero to all Argentinians but especially to the people of his native Buenos Aires. 
Join us as we visit some important sites that marked different moment's in the life of El Diez, and see the legacy he has left the city, the people and football itself.

Footballing Mecca, fútbol paradise, Buenos Aires is heaven for any fan of the beautiful game.
With 18 stadiums in the city alone and over 60 in the Greater BA area, there's no doubt why it's number one on the list for groundhoppers. The city and its football culture are intertwined with the story of Maradona.

Where we’ll meet - We’ll meet in the La Paternal, home of Argentinos Juniors where Diego's life as a professional began and where he scored more goals than anywhere else.

Your bilingual guides will greet you and accompany you throughout the day, keeping you safe and providing context to all the sites we'll visit, along with any necessary translation!

Itinerary/Agenda:
11:00 Meet in the residential neighbourhood of La Paternal, home of Maradona's first club Argentinos Juniors. We'll visit the Casa de D10s: Dieguito's first house that was given to him by the club upon signing with them as a teenager. Step back in time and walk in the footsteps of a legend

12:00 Stroll down to the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, the home stadium of Asociación Atlética Argentinos Juniors, where we'll take a moment at the Maradona Sanctuary which is located in the stadium walls - a quick word of thanks to the man many consider Díos (God). 
The "DAM" and surrounding streets are decorated with many murals of el Diez (number 10), we'll get some photos and appreciate the best ones.

12:15 Inside the stadium we'll visit the Argentinos club museum which has a wealth of material on the Pibe de Oro (Golden Boy) himself and other famous players produced by the club known as the Semillero del Mundo (the nursery of the world). We'll get a guided tour from the club historians. 

13:30 Visit Bendito10, the workshop of Maradona super-fan and artist Marcelo who has a piece hanging in the AFA headquarters, and also the biggest collection of Panini stickers in Argentina - a prime example of the passion for fútbol on display in Buenos Aires. As a bonus there is a model of the Cebollitas team truck on the roof alongside a Maradona statue. 

Optional Extra: Extended Version in Paternal and La Boca

14:00 If you want to make a day of it with the longer version, an option for lunch (not included) is the Cafetería de D10s by the stadium - a Maradona themed wonderland.

15:30 From there we'll travel (car or bus) to the famous La Boca neighbourhood where Maradona's influence is still as strong as ever - the streets lined with murals, paintings and various tributes to el más grande de todos (the greatest of them all). 

16:00 We'll finish up with a tour of the world-famous Bombonera stadium - not available to the public - getting a close-up view of the hallowed turf where Maradona shot to superstardom. It represents a full circle for Diego as he was back in early 2020 as manager of the visiting team, receiving the adoration of the Boca fans shortly before football shut down for the pandemic and he passed away later that year.

Will I be safe? - As always in a large city with great social inequality, it's important to have your wits about you and take the necessary precautions. Our experienced guides will ensure your safety and look after you. Wear casual clothing, we'll be going off the beaten track!
