Buenos Aires: Obelisco

Obelisco, probably what the city is best known for. It sits in the middle of the Avenida 9 de Julio, the widest avenue in the world. Its width is nearly the length of two football fields.


It's the busiest place in the city. There are billboards all over and it's right next to the theather district, so it sort of feels like another version of Times Square.


There's a bit of Champs-Élysées to it as too, with monuments, statues, and trees lining the avenue through some of the more posh areas of the city.
