Avenida Corrientes
Avenida Corrientes, one of the most well-known streets in Buenos Aires, runs from Puerto Madero to Chacarita. Avenida Corrientes is also known as Calle Corrientes, after the city of Corrientes, which was the first city outside of Buenos Aires to embrace Argentina's independence. The street has witnessed significant historical events, such as the peak years of tango, and is sometimes referred to as the "street that never sleeps."
Avenida Corrientes' nighttime culture is raucous and eventful, though it is as prevalent during the day. Avenida Corrientes is dotted with cafes, bars, theaters, booksellers, and other establishments catering to a wide range of interests. The Teatro San Martin, the Rojas cultural center, the Lugones cinema, and Porteo pizza, Buenos Aires' take on the Genoese, are all worth a visit.
“La Noche de las Liberiars,” which translates to “night of the bookstores,” is hosted annually at Avenida Corrientes. Most bookshops stay open later to host talks and launch books during this time. At the many theatres that call Avenida Corrientes home, a variety of shows sell out, from comedies to dramas, for a dramatic and inspiring experience.
