 | Buenos Aires 9 de Julio avenue Reviews | Tips 1 - 10 of 55 |  |
9 July 1816 in Tucuman, Unitarian politicians signed Argentina’s declaration of independence from Spain – Federalists stayed away. In commemoration, BsAs named this grand avenue in that date’s honor. The avenue dates to the grand urban redesign that took place between 1932 and 1938. Nearly in the middle of the avenue’s length, slightly to the north where Avenida Corrientes crosses it, you will find the Obelisco and the Plaza de Republica. For a good view of the avenue, try the bar in the Crowne Plaza Americano. The avenue serves as a semi-freeway and for the walker will be better known for how many lights it takes to cross rather than some grand greenbelted oasis. Leave a Comment

The Avenue 9 de Julio is definitely the widest avenue of the world (140m width).
It is magnificent with its huge advertisements and buildings, palo borracho trees and the Obelisk, a symbol for the porteños.
On this avenue you can also find one of the most important theaters of lyrical music of the world: the Colon Opera House.
You can picture the hasty rhythm of porteños if you walk along Florida street, full of stores.
At night there are plenty of theaters and cinemas in Corrientes Avenue, for that reason known as "the street that never sleeps". Address: Centre of the City

We started out our next-morning walk to the downtown core near the Presidential Palace by first checking out what is reported to be the world's widest street, Avenida 9 de Julio. This multi-lane monster cuts 5 km through the heart of the city, taking up an entire city block in width with it's up to 12 lanes of traffic.
In addition to the main 4-5 lanes of traffic on each side of a central island, are parallel streets along each side of the Avenue - with Cerrito to the west and Carlos Pelligrini to the east. Just to get across 9 de Julio takes two changes of traffic lights because you can only make it to the centre island in one 'hop'.
This is the view as we approach the Obelisk from Sarmiento Street. Leave a Comment Directions: Seven blocks west from the Presidential Palace and Plaza de Mayo.

This avenue is the Avenue of the world! it is 140 meters broadest avenue of the world and is separated in different sections to enable the pedestrian to cross it ! I can tell you....it takes some time!!!! But it is fascinating to look at the ballet of the taxis looking for the best lane to execute its job as fast as possible!
In the middle, at the crossing with Corrientes, there is an Obelisc of 67,5 m high marking the forth century of the foundation of Buenos Aires. Leave a Comment

9 de Julio is the widest avenue of the world; it is 130 m wide!!!!! The name of this amazing avenue comes from July 9th of 1816, Independence Day of Argentina.
I think this tip could be posted as "Sports tips", because trying to cross this avenue is a real challenge!
The picture shows the Obelisk, situated at 9 de Julio Av. and Corrientes Av.

Podría haber puesto esta viñeta en "Deportes", ya que tratar de cruzar esta avenida es todo un desafío!!!

When you're actually walking along Avenida 9 de Julio, it's not hard to believe that this is the world's widest avenue. It's enormous!! It is named after Argentina's Independence Day, July 9, 1816 the day they broke free from the Spanish Crown.
Today, the street is a bustling thoroughfare lined with shops and restaurants, but it's so big that it's not exactly a cozy spot to relax. The noise of the busy commercial center and the pollution from the traffic make it more frenetic than relaxing. Leave a Comment

If this is not the world`s widest city street then I wouldn't like to have to cross something bigger. There are about 7 lanes in each direction on Avenuda 9 Julio and it´s always full of vehicles. The Avenue runs from Constituion up to Retiro and contaian an obleisk at Corrientes, one of the cities best known sights. It's particularly spectacular at night and a good place to observe it all is from the walkways near Corrientes on either side of the obelisk. Leave a Comment

The breath-taking Avenida 9 de Julio is the widest avenue in the world. It has 140 meters between the sidewalks. Everything on the avenue is extra large. There are great buildings, huge neon ads on top of the buildings, big trees (palos borrachos) and a great Obelisco.
In 1936 the goverment decided to tear down many beautiful french style mansions to have this avenue here. The only mansion that survived is French Embassy, the french people didn't let saying it was french territory.
Although the avenue is really really impressive, it's sad that so many great buildings had to be destroyed. It's a pity the avenue wasn't constructed in some other part of the city.
