Puente de la Mujer is the famous Buenos Aires bridge designed by Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava. Although it maybe difficult to decipher, this bridge was intended to represent a couple dancing tango. Regardless, its asymmetrical arrangement fits seamlessly into the modern docks and skyscrapers of Puerto Madero. It also serves as the top rated location for Brazilians to take selfies in the city. Só brincando my Brazilian friends!
Address: Dique 3, Puerto Madero
Centered in Buenos Aires’ renovated port area this sexy bit of architecture is worth a gander and free of charge. Plan an afternoon walking along Dique 3 and consider visits to the neighboring Ecological Reserve, stationed ARA Uruguay (steam gunboat with sails) museum at Dock 4, plus the plethora of bars, restaurants and cafes that line the port.
Puerto Madero is a relatively new neighborhood and the most “international” of the Buenos Aires barrios. The Prefectura is stationed and commissioned with protecting the coastline making it one of the safest areas of the city. You’ll find many of BA’s poshest hotels here along side the most expensive real estate in the city. It’s a great area to stroll around for some fresh air, jogging, grabbing a cortado on one of the many cafe patios and perhaps pulling the trigger on that one overpriced steak dinner. Choose wisely!
