City Tour por Mendoza: Así es el recorrido del bus turístico

En febrero de 2022 estuve en la capital mendocina y, si bien no era la primera vez que la visitaba, quería hacer un city tour por Mendoza capital para descubrir nuevos lugares que quizás antes no había recorrido. Decidí hacerlo en el bus turístico de la ciudad , un micro con modalidad hop on hop off , que te da libertad para conocer y tiene un precio razonable.

City Tour por Mendoza: ¿Contratar tour o tomar el bus de la ciudad?

En el hotel que me alojé me recomendaron hacer el city tour por Mendoza tomando el micro hop on hop off que sale de la Plaza Independencia, la principal de la ciudad. Es más barato que un recorrido similar con agencia y te permite conocer mejor la ciudad.

A diferencia de los tradicionales tours contratados, el bus hop on hop off tiene varias paradas en puntos de interés de la ciudad. Te podés bajar en cada uno de ellos o solo en los que quieras. Cada media hora pasa otro bus por esa parada, donde te podés subir para continuar el recorrido.

Otra ventaja es que el ticket tiene una validez de 24 horas, así que hay tiempo de sobra para dedicarle a cada atractivo de la ciudad.

Recorrido del bus turístico por Mendoza capital

El bus de dos pisos comienza su recorrido en la Plaza Independencia y luego tiene 9 paradas más. Te podés bajar en todas, en algunas o en ninguna, vos decidís. Yo bajé en dos: – Parada 2: Área fundacional. Aquí hay un interesante museo arqueológico en el marco de la pintoresca Plaza Pedro del Castillo, una de las tantas y bellas plazas de la capital de Mendoza. A una cuadra también se pueden visitar las Ruinas Jesuíticas de San Francisco. La entrada al Museo del Área Fundacional es accesible (creo que unos $150 ARS en febrero de 2022), pero si lo visitás como parte del city tour del bus, la entrada es gratuita.

– Parada final : Al momento de escribir esto, la última parada figura como Parque Deportivo Montaña, pero cuando hice el tour, la última parada fue el Cerro de la Gloria . Allí también bajé y es, sin dudas, la parada más importante del city tour. Las vistas, más el imponente monumento, son algo que hay que ver y disfrutar.

Después de esta última parada, el bus turístico vuelve a Plaza Independencia, de donde salió, sin hacer ninguna parada.

¿Cuánto dura el city tour por Mendoza?

Si no te bajas en ninguna parada, el city tour por Mendoza en el bus hop on hop off dura alrededor de 2 horas. Si bajás, dependerá de cuántas veces lo hagas y cuánto te quedes en cada una de las paradas.

Precios: ¿Cuánto cuesta el city tour por Mendoza?

Los jubilados y universitarios también tienen tarifa diferenciada, a un valor de $650. Los discapacitados argentinos tienen acceso gratuito.

En cuando a los turistas extranjeros, el costo del city tour por Mendoza es de $1.300 ARS.

Todos los precios corresponden a abril de 2022.

¿Cómo se compran los tickets para el bus turístico?

Se pueden comprar por la web oficial del bus turístico . Yo lo compré directamente en la boletería que está en Plaza Independencia, unos minutos antes de subirme al bus. Aceptan tarjeta. De hecho, lo pagué con el saldo que tenía en mi tarjeta Previaje.

Algunas recomendaciones para el recorrido

Un par de recomendaciones para disfrutar a pleno del recorrido:

• Llevar protector solar: si bien el bus tiene un techo corredizo y podés ubicarte a la sombra, es difícil que el sol no te pegue. Yo lo inicié temprano y volví a la ciudad al mediodía y sí, me quemé.
• Un saquito/buzo no está de más: aunque haga calor, en ciertas partes del recorrido se puede sentir un poco de fresco, incluso en verano. Llevá un buzo, campera finita, saco, etc.

Si preferís hacer un  city tour caminando , podés optar por un  Free Walking Tour por la capital mendocina .

Buen día. Estoy de paso y no m quiero ir sin darme este recorrido. En que horarios sale el micro. Desde donde. Hoy domingo se hace el recorrido ?. Horarios y precio por favor

Hola Silvia, como indico en el post, el bus turísitco de Mendoza sale de Plaza Independencia. Cuando yo fui hacía el recorrido todos los días cada media hora. Los precios que figuran son de hace un año, deben haber cambiado. En la web oficial encontrás la info actualizada: https://www.citybusar.com/mendoza/ Si estás cerca de Plaza Independencia, lo más fácil es acercarte al local que hay frente al Sheraton y por ahí te podés subir sin mucha demora. Ojalá lo puedas hacer!

Hola se puede comprar por internet y abordar en otra de las paradas o debo ir hasta Independencia?

No te sabría decir, yo subí en Independencia. Tal vez les podés consultar en su Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/citybusmza/

Summertime doesn’t have to mean taking a break from learning. Here are some of the best walking tours for taking in Chicago history, including a jaunt from the Chicago Workers Cottage Initiative.

Tom Vlodek/Chicago Workers Cottage Initiative

These 5 Chicago history tours will show you a different slice of the city

This summer, brush up on your local history with tours that highlight everything from architectural styles to underground critters..

In a city with a history as rich as Chicago’s, summertime is full of opportunity to explore outside your neighborhood, fire up your kids’ summer brains or simply try something different.

This list presents you with options.

Head underground … and watch for rats

Why go on a walking tour that openly plugs rats? Because those critters own this city just as much as we do. For proof — and to earn a new appreciation for our fellow citydwellers — sign up for local tour guide Mike McMains’s “ Underground Chicago (Plus Rats!) Tour ,” a 90-minute exploration of the city under the city. Departing from the Mag Mile and quickly descending into the lower regions and underbelly of the city, it’s an educational way to learn something new about Chicago, entertain guests hankering for a tour or simply avoid the hot summer sun. $30, 90 minutes, tourswithmike.com .

The Jaffee History Trail features eight informative stops with facts about the city’s history.

Chicago History Museum

Stroll the Jaffee History Trail

If you haven’t taken the time to explore the Jaffee History Trail , which opened in 2021 just east of the Chicago History Museum, put it on your list. Encompassing 4.5 acres of landscaped grounds planted with native pollinators, the little trail features eight informative stops with representations of the city’s history — from the giant hunk of metal discovered in the museum’s back yard to the infamous Couch Tomb. Free; explore at your own pace; daily; chicagohistory.org/exhibition/jaffee-history-trail .

Chicago historian Shermann “Dilla” Thomas speaks to local high schoolers playing in the Double Duty Classic baseball game during a bus tour in 2023 in Chicago.

Owen Ziliak/Chicago Sun-Times

Take a bus tour with Dilla

Most locals know Auburn Gresham–based historian Sherman “Dilla” Thomas from his viral TikTok videos proving “everything dope about America comes from Chicago.” But have you ever taken one of his neighborhood tours ? Book tickets and board the bus for one of Dilla’s Mahogany Tours through neighborhoods on the South and West sides such as North Lawndale, Englewood or Bronzeville. $45, durations vary; weekends; chicagomahogany.com .

The Chicago Workers Cottage Initiative leads informative tours of cottage-heavy neighborhoods such as McKinley Park and Logan Square.

Learn about a seminal architectural style

If you pay any attention to residential buildings in older parts of town, you may be familiar with the typical workers cottage: small, 1½-story homes built for working-class families between the 1880s and 1919. Across the city, there are nearly 60,000 of these homes, but they’re rapidly being demolished. Enter the Chicago Workers Cottage Initiative , a small group who organized in 2021 to celebrate these little houses and preserve them from demolition. During the warmer months, the group occasionally leads informative, intimate tours of neighborhoods with a lot of workers cottages such as McKinley Park and Logan Square . Donation, 90 minutes; weekends; workerscottage.org .

This photo shows an aerial view after the first atomic explosion at the Trinity Test Site near Alamogordo, N.M., on July 16, 1945. Trinity Site, a designated National Historic Landmark, only opens to the public twice a year. But the University of Chicago campus also played a vital role, and visitors can walk a historical route there nearly any day of the year.

Dig into the city’s love affair with film

Yes, we know about the Art Institute’s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off tour — but this one’s better. “ From Fairgrounds to Film Set: Chicago’s Midway, Movies, and the 1893 World’s Fair ” starts from the Midway Plaisance, whose ties go back to the World’s Fair, then winds along the tree-lined streets of Hyde Park to showcase five stops tied to the movies. It’s worth your time just to stroll through the leafy University of Chicago campus, and you’ll walk away with a new appreciation for our city’s role in the film industry. $29.99, 75 minutes; chicagomovietours.com .

Want to take your own film-related tour? Stream the Oscar-winning movie Oppenheimer, then take this self-led tour of the relevant atomic sites on the campus of the University of Chicago.
