Pope Francis Tour Itinerary

The journey through the life of Jorge Bergoglio starts at 10 am at his birthplace in the renowned Flores neighborhood. This is where Jorge spent his formative years with his parents and four siblings.

The tour includes visits to the buildings that shaped his education and where he received his first sacraments, which sparked his religious calling. Key locations visited include the places he frequented in his youth and San Lorenzo de Almagro Football Club, where he developed his passion for football.

We will stop at the Church of San Francisco de Asis, where Bergoglio discovered the Franciscan Order, his papal name's inspiration. The San José de Flores church will also be included, where, at only 17 years old, he resolved to dedicate his life to God.

Our final destination is the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral, where many Argentines waited for the conclave results that led to Bergoglio's election as pope.

The tour concludes around 1 pm in Plaza de Mayo.
