Often known as Microcentro, San Nicolás is the city’s pulsating business and performing arts hub. Avenida 9 de Julio, one of the world’s widest streets, flows around the soaring Obelisco, a national landmark and popular selfie spot. Revered for its acoustics, the lavish Teatro Colón opera house also runs backstage tours. Neon-lit art deco theaters, casual pizza spots and late-night bookstores line Avenida Corrientes.
