Plaza San Martín and the city center
The central area of Buenos Aires is divided in two historical zones. The downtown area is a busy area and has well known streets like Avenida de Mayo and Corrientes and of course the famous Plaza the Mayo with its Casa Rosada (the Argentine government house).
Through the heart of the city center goes Florida street which is the principal pedestrian shopping street and runs between Plaza San Martin and Plaza de Mayo. The neighborhood around Plaza San Martin is rich with famous places and buildings of former aristocratic families like the Military Circle and the famous Kavanagh Tower, which once was the first sky-scraper and highest building of Latin America, inspired by New York’s Empire State building. If you might be looking for the most exclusive and expensive apartment of Buenos Aires, you would find it in this historical building.
