You cannot say you have been at Buenos Aires if you didn´t visit the Obelisco. It´s a classical place at Buenos Aires. Take care to find a right place and position to have your photos. After that, have care with the traffic and you can go to many little cafe´s

I loved it's culture, food, and friendly people! Great for people with kids. I do think I could have used a map. One should have been supplied for free. In the park, there was no food matching the culture descriptions. All there was was fast food and Chinese cuisines. I had a blast and hope to raise enough money to go back soon! You should definitely go!

Not much to see here unless there's a demonstration going on. Take some pics and head out. You can't go up inside it.

The main road in BA is worth taking a taxi up and down. Stopping by the Oblisco, unless you want to read the history first-hand, rather than buying a book, is not necessary. If you're pressed for time, drive by.

they copied us with the whole monument thing, you can see the exact same thing in washington D.C. but everyone speaks english. DON'T GO THERE

i love the 9 de julio avenue where the obelisco is found... you should go around, specially at night and see all the lights and everyhting... very similar to new york!

it is a pretty sight to see and a great reference point for travelers, but the truth is its just as pretty on a postcard. there are some great areas around the monument to take picutures with friends and family, but they can be hard to get to due to the heavy traffic on this enormous avenue. even if you have the right of way, dont expect drivers hanging sharp turns to stop for you.
