The Obelisk of Buenos Aires is an iconic landmark of the city and offers a striking example of architecture and history. The 67-meter-high monolith was built in 1936 to celebrate the city's 400th anniversary. The site where it was erected once stood the church of San Nicolás, which was demolished to make way for the construction of Avenida 9 de Julio, one of the widest streets in the world. As you walk through the bustling city center, the obelisk immediately catches your eye. It is often illuminated, especially at night, giving it an almost majestic aura. Despite its height and importance, access to the top of the obelisk, where there are four windows with impressive views, is unfortunately not open to the public. The square surrounding the obelisk, Plaza de la República, is a busy meeting place, and the surrounding neighborhood offers an exciting mix of modern and historic architecture. However, the 206 steps that lead to the top remain a mystery for those who wonder what the view from up there might be like.

An impressive building with an equally impressive history; it's worth taking a guided tour.

This is a great addition to Buenos Aires. I thought it was a super well organised place with a very family orientated feel to it. A very pretty park and busy for a good reason.

Buenos Aires has many parks, and here Puente Griego (Greek Footbridge) in the Parque Tres de Febrero, which is a spacious oasis of scenery and relaxation, allows pedestrians to cross from the Avenida Infanta Isabel over Lago Rosedal into the Paseo de los Poetas or poets walk, which is a charming, manicured, bust-strewn rose garden. Often called the 'Lovers Bridge,' this striking bridge is a beautiful asset to an already stunning park area within Buenos Aires.
