 Sunrise somewhere near Cordoba by barryg23
Overnight buses are very common in Argentina and it's possible (most of the time) to get a good night's sleep as they are generally quite comfortable, especially if you opt for the more expensive cama class. If you're travelling on a budget, taking an overnight bus is a good way to save the price of a night in a hotel.
We travelled with Flecha Bus and it cost about 100 pesos. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

This is maybe the most important spot for tourists in the city. On July 9th 1816, a group of congressmen declared the independence of Argentina from Spain. The house is now a museum where you can see furniture, garments and objects of that time (Entrance: 3 pesos (US$ 1) The museum opens Mon-Fri 10:00am-6:00pm and Sat-Sun and public holidays 1:00pm-7:00pm)
In the evenings, there's a show called "luz y sonido" (light & sound) which offers a reenactment of the historical events during and around July 9. (in Spanish; every day at 8:00pm except Thursdays; ticket: 4 pesos, sold at the tourist office across from Independencia Square)
The "Casa Historica" as it is known here is located on Congreso Street, one and a half blocks from the main square. Leave a Comment

This art-nouveau, Italian-and-French-style palace was built between 1908 and 1910 where the former “Cabildo” was located. Guided tours in English from 8:00am to 9:00pm in groups or individually (Contact Azucena Haddad, the official interpreter). Two outstanding attractions inside the palace are the White Room and Juan Bautista Alberdi’s tomb. The White Room is the place where most official ceremonies are held and has an exquisite decoration. Juan Bautista Alberdi (1810-1884) was a jurist, politician and writer. He is the author of “Bases and Points of Departure for the Political Organization of the Argentine Republic”, one of the basis for the Argentine Constitution written in 1853.

The most important and visited area in the city is Independence Square. The square is surrounded by some of the most important civic buildings in the city following the typical Spanish Colonial grid urban design. Formerly known as Liberty Square, it has remained in the same place since 1685, the year of Tucuman City’s second foundation. For more than one and a half century, it was just an open field with an only tree where criminals were executed. Throughout its history, several monuments have occupied the place where now lies the Statue of Liberty, a Carrara marble sculpture made by Lola Mora. The first one was the Federal Pyramid, an obelisk that was built around 1841. The first orange trees were planted at the same time. 23 years later, the obelisk was replaced by a cylindrical column honoring the Declaration of Independence. In 1883, a bust representing Gen. Belgrano replaced the column, and its sidewalks were covered with flagstones brought from Hamburg, Germany. There’s a story about a man who caused some damage to the chain surrounding the current statue. He confessed he had broken it because it was paradoxical that “Liberty” was “chained”. He wasn’t that crazy, was he? The damage can still be seen. Leave a Comment Address: Downtown Tucuman

Among the attractions you can visit are the San Miguel Lake, The "Flower" Clock, the "Rosedal" (Rose garden) and Bishop Colombre's House. However, the best thing is to walk along its avenues and see its trees, plants, flowers, monuments and statues. You can also enjoy the many bars and cafés located in the central area.
Warning: Try to avoid those areas where you don't see many people, specially at night. Leave a Comment Directions: East Side, 6 blocks from Independencia Square and just across from the Bus Station
