- Description
-
The Avenida de Mayo, whose broad, beautifully paved roadway runs through the very heart of Buenos Aires, from the Plaza de Mayo near the harbor front, to the Plaza del Congreso upon which the Palace of Congress stands, is among the finest boulevards in the world. It may be classed with the Champs Elysees in Paris, the Ring in Vienna, and other thoroughfares of note. Trees line both sides of the street, which is brilliantly illuminated by electric lamps on pillars in the center, and also by side lights. Its handsome buildings are given over chiefly to stores, hotels, and cafes, many of which have service on small tables on the sidewalks, as well as within, adding greatly to the charm of the boulevard. Beneath the surface a splendidly equipped electric subway relieves the congestion and affords rapid transit.
