Puerto Madero, modern lifestyle around the old docks
Not far away from the famous Plaza de Mayo you can find the most modern part of town, the vibrant renovated docklands area of Puerto Madero, a perfect example of successful urban gentrification. Once an old port area with abandoned brick warehouses, now an upscale residential and commercial zone between the Downtown City Centre and the Rio de la Plata.
The area is divided by a channel which has at each side of it a pedestrian zone with a lot of nice apartments, elegant restaurants, surrounded by modern offices and high-class hotels. Puerto Madero also has its own green area at the riverside.
