“La Gran Vía de Mayo” is the new program stimulated by the area of tourism of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires that has a purpose of revitalize the former “Avenida de Mayo”, which history and culture are related so narrowly with the origin and development of Buenos Aires and of its more important events.

To say “Avenida de Mayo” (May Avenue) is to think about its European architecture, which we will see along the road, approximately 1600 mts, from “Plaza de Mayo” (May Square) up to the National Congress. It is undoubtedly the avenue that marks steps for Buenos Aires, like for example, the first subway inaugurated in Latin America, one of the first ones in the world (1913®s), it also possess the highest skycrafts in Latin America for those years, around 1923, the Palace Barolo of 100 meters of height built by the Italian Architect Palanti that can be visited in May Avenue 1370.

“La Gran Vía de Mayo” begins on April 12th and continues until May 18th, with a series of artistic activities with outdoors stages, bars and other designated buildings. There will be approximately 200 free spectacles, with varied subjects, from music, theatre, dance, shows of tango and different guided tours. In the weekends the traffic is cut and the street is transformed in pedestrian crossing.

We recommend everybody to visit “La Gran Vía de Mayo”. It is an important events in Buenos Aires, in the frame of one of the nicest avenues in terms of architecture and so rich in traditions and histories.
