Puerto Madero is an ideal place to walk and to enjoy a day outdoors. You can explore the five

docks that make up the old port of Buenos Aires and sit on a bench and watch the boats and the

energetic rowers before you find a restaurant with a spectacular view.

Is the most secure place in BA because agents of the Police Headquarters in light brown uniforms

patrol and protect its streets while multiple security cameras constantly monitor the area.

Puerto Madero is also a place to have a good time at night. Its discos and bars are wellknown

throughout the city. Adventurous people who wish to tempt fate can try their luck at Puerto

Maderos Floating Casino.

One ofPuerto Maderos characteristics is that it honors women in a special way. In 1995, only 24

streets out of 2200 were named after women-but Puerto Madero changed that. All its streets are

named after Argentinas famous women, among them Alicia Moreau de Justo, an early fighter for

womens right to vote, as well as Victoria Ocampo, Macacha Gemes, Marta Lynch and Azucena

Villaflor, who started the Madres de Plaza de Mayo, brave women who marched around Plaza de

Mayo during the military dictatorship to protest the disappearance of their children.

The modern Tranva del Este, the Eastern Streetcar, inaugurated in 2007, takes you from one

point to the other of the Alicia Moreau de Justo Ave. (between Crdoba & Independencia Aves.)

After you cross the access bridges you will reach the space dedicated to residential towers,

commercial buildings, offices and the most spectacular hotels in the city of Buenos Aires.

+ EL PUENTE DE LA MUJER (THE WOMEN'S BRIDGE)

The iconic image ofPuerto Madero is the internationally famous Puente de la Mujer, a swing

bridge and a rotating footbridge on Dock 3. Made entirely in Spain, it is a magnificent work of the

prestigious Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava. You may have seen its sister bridge, also by

Calatrava, in Seville, Spain, because el Puente de la Mujer was Spains gift to Argentina. You will be

surprised to see it open to let the ships pass through.

museum to commemorate its history and adventures on the seas of the world. The Fragata

Sarmiento can be visited every day between 9:00 A.M. and 8:00 P.M.
