The World's widest avenue, Avenue 9 de Julio is a magnificent piece of engineering; it's over 140 metres wide with unbelievable 12 lanes of traffic flowing in each direction, separated by beautiful gardens in the medians. Along the way, you'll find wonderful sights like the Washington Memorial-mimicking Obelisk, a statue of Don Quixote and old embassies dotted around. Crossing 18 lanes of traffic as a pedestrian can be a touch challenging.
Construction of the imposing avenue began in the 1930s and the avenue was finally completed in 1980 gaining the title of, the widest road in the world! This impressive, expansive avenue runs for approximately 1km to the west of another world dominating attraction, the Rio de la Plata (the widest river in the world).
