Visit to the Diego Maradona House Museum in Buenos Aires
Description
La Casa de D10S, the first home of Diego Armando Maradona and his family (1978-1980) in the City of Buenos Aires, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of La Paternal and a few meters from the stadium that today bears his name, of the Athletic Association Argentinos Juniors (AAAJ), the club of his origins and where he took his first steps as a professional soccer player. The home that Argentinos Junios gave Diego Maradona for his 18th birthday, was recovered, valued and recognized by the City Parliament, as a historic place and in homage to the best soccer player in history. Also, on the days it is open, you can visit the sanctuary in homage to Diego Armando Maradona, which is located on the Argentinos Juniors court. The space, which was built in just one day, not only exhibits all the gifts that fans gave him after his death: the main attraction is the mural of Pelusa with the Bicho shirt that emulates an altar.

Itinerary
La Paternal is a neighborhood located in the central-northwest part of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. It was founded in 1904 by a national decree. Its name was due, for some, to the request of an Insurance Company "La Paternal", which owned many land in the area, where he built numerous houses for workers. Others think that the name was given by a grocery store, known because it stopped the carts that went to Luján passing the "road to Moreno". The headquarters of the Asociación Atlético Argentinos Juniors, a centennial football club and champion of America that militates in the Argentine First Division is located in the neighborhood.
THE HOUSE OF D10S, THE FIRST OWN HOUSE OF DIEGO ARMANDO MARADONA AND HIS FAMILY (1978-1980) IN THE CITY OF BUENOS AIRES, IN THE PORTE NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE PATERNAL AND ALREADY BASKET METERS OF THE STADIUM THAT TODAY CARRIES HIS NAME, OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ARGENTINOS JUNIORS (AAAJ), THE CLUB OF ITS ORIGINS AND WHERE HE GAVE HIS FIRST STEPS AS A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER. THE HOME THAT GIVEN ARGENTINOS JUNIORS TO DIEGO FOR HIS BIRTHDAY ISSUE 18, WAS RECOVERED, PLACED IN VALUE AND RECOGNIZED BY THE ARGENTINE PARLIAMENT, AS A HISTORICAL PLACE AND IN TRIBUTE TO THE BEST FOOTBALL PLAYER IN HISTORY.
It has a capacity for 26,000 people and is an Argentinos Juniors venue. The stadium is also recognized for being the place where Diego Armando Maradona made his debut in Argentine football. It was named in honor of Diego Armando Maradona, who officially debuted on that pitch on Wednesday, October 20, 1976, at the age of 15, and played there for 5 years in the First Division, who is the second highest historical scorer in the club with 116 annotations.

Absolutely mandatory visit for all fans of football when in Buenos Aires. A true piece of history of when of the greatest. Definitely recommend it.
Thanks Francisco for your positive review. Hope to see you again soon. Best regards,
It was my last afternoon in Buenos Aires, and I decided to squeeze in the Maradona tour that turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip. Even as someone who isn’t a huge football fan, I found the experience fascinating and truly memorable. The tour went far beyond football stats and matches. It explored who Diego Maradona was to Argentina and why he still means so much to people here. Through murals, stories, neighborhoods, and local history, I came away understanding how deeply connected he is to the identity of Buenos Aires. My guide , Fernando, was friendly,passionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly engaging, bringing the city and Maradona’s story to life in a way that felt personal rather than touristy. Highly recommended tour!
Hi Vimla, thank you so much for your nice comments. Hope to see you again soon in Buenos Aires. Best regards,
Fernando communicated with us prior to the excursion to align on timings and collected us from our hotel at the agreed time. The car was spacious and very comfortable and bottled water and a snack bar was provided. The tour was excellent. Fernando is an avid football fan and knew his subject well and took us to The Argentinos Juniors stadium and then to Maradonna’s house /museum where he lived when he played for them. It was very interesting and we enjoyed it immensely. He dropped us off back at the hotel and even offered to get us tickets for the Argentinos Juniors game the following day, but unfortunately we couldn’t go as we were travelling back home. We would definately recommend this tour.

Chicago Irina Ruseva It was very exciting to visit the stadium and the place where amazing soccer player Diego Armando Maradona and his family lived, to immers into the time when future soccer star started his career. My guide Fernando is excellent and friendly. He is very knowledgeable about Argentine legend D10S sport life. He explained me Argentine life and culture. His English is very good, and he is good driver. I highly recommend this tour for everyone who loves soccer.
Thanks for the positive review Irina. Hope to see you again soon in BA! Best wishes.
My son and I went to the Museum, it was a very good experience to know the house where Maradona lived for two years with his parents and brothers. It was also possible to follow the work of Artist Camila Dominguez who was doing one of the paintings that are on the outside of the house.
Being able to visit the first house Diego Armando Maradona was able to give to his family really sends chills. In that house he was a teenager and his bedroom like that of all the young people of that time.
Diego’s former house is full of history and memorabilia. Great to chat to Fernando and learn all about Maradona’s life, and discuss football in general! Highly recommend
Thank you!! Hope to see you again soon!
