It has quite a few shows and it a neat place to walk - just beware as it is also the street of pickpockets and robbers. But there is always plenty of activity. More

This is a long street. I assume trip A is talking about the portion with the theaters. You could spend weeks going to the shows. Beyond that, the street is fairly typical of the city in terms of stores and loose tiles. More

Av. Corrientes runs through the theater district. It also boasts two of the best pizza joints in BA: 1) Guerrin and 2) Las Cuartetas. It also has a ton of bookstores, especially used books. It is one of the best places to shop for books. But it is also one of the worst sun-drenched streets in BA. Another major thoroughfare. More

A busy street with the stage theatres, shops and restaurants. It's a busy street, especially in the evening and worth a visit or a walk to experience it. Of course, all the shows are in Spanish. More

This is an amazing avenue in Buenos Aire. Many theatres with musicals on practically every corner. Fabulous restaurants line the street, with vendors selling candied nuts and popcorn, cheese cones and choripan. Book shops, clothes shops and shops selling everything you can imagine. Walk the length of the street down to Obelisko to take in the full experience. Wonderful in... More
