Overview
Puerto Madero is Buenos Aires's former port district, redeveloped in the 1990s into a modern waterfront area. 19th-century red-brick warehouses now house stylish restaurants, loft offices, and boutique hotels, and the Puente de la Mujer bridge designed by Spanish architect Calatrava is the signature landmark. Stroll along the canal, dine at upscale restaurants, or enjoy nature at the Costanera Sur ecological reserve. Free to visit (walking). About 10 minutes on foot from Subte Line L, Correo Central station.
Opening Hours
