Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Montserrat, Capital Federal District

July 1, 2021 Jasper Kershner

The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

Avenida de Mayo

This elegant thoroughfare is one of the streets bordering the historic and cosmopolitan city center.

Reviewed By WorldTravelers34 - Chicago, United States

Avenida de Mayo is one of the grandest and most important in Buenos Aires, leading from Plaza de Mayo with the pink government palace Casa Rosada at one end, to Argentina’s National Congress building at the other. It was named in honor of the May Revolution of 1810 which lead to Argentina's independence from Spain. It is difficult not to compare this grand thoroughfare to other great boulevards around such world, such as those in Paris, Madrid, and Barcelona. This avenue is home to many famous buildings and architecture and home to many important historical events in Argentina's history, and continues to be the primary venue for protests, demonstrations, and celebrations. The avenue, officially inaugurated in 1894, is just under a mile long and it’s worth walking the entire length to take the city’s history. We spend lots of time walking around this area during our one-week stay in Buenos Aires.

Plaza de las Armas Argentine Army

Reviewed By ruthandvern - Wilton, United States

We had walked along the port road, hot, tired, lost. We rounded the bend and this wonderful park met us with shade and seating. We walked through the park, discovering several buildings and entities of note. The Defense Ministry, main army staff and a monument to the fallen in the war of the Malvines. The plants and trees and grounds are immaculate.

Plaza de Mayo

The political center of the country, this famous plaza is the location of the well-known balcony of the Casa Rosada from which Eva Peron addressed adoring crowds of workers.

Reviewed By IN_Travelers47906 - West Lafayette, United States

You have not been to Buenos Aires if you have not been to Plaza de Mayo, the plaza located directly in front of the Casa Rosada (Pink House) executive mansion and surrounded by many historic buildings such as the National Cathedral, the National Bank and the National Museum. It is the place where Eva Peron made her speeches that galvanized the country, it is the place where after 40 years mothers still march to protest the “disappearance” of their children during military rule and it is the place where today Argentinians and tourists choose to gather. It is also a wonderful place to begin or end a self-guided tour. It is just a 5-minute walk from the upscale Puerto Madero canal lined with restaurants, shops and street performers. On late Sunday morning walk south on Defense to enter the wonderful San Telmo market, or go NW to the obelisk, the opera house, the waterworks palace, the El Ateneo Grand Splendid bookstore and many other sights. We enjoyed our several visits there both day and night. Suggestion: If you like photography, be sure to visit Plaza de Mayo early evenings. The palace, the statues and the surrounding buildings are all illuminated for great pictures.
