Avenida 9 de Julio - Buenos Aires, Argentina

Avenida 9 de Julio cuts straight through the center of Buenos Aires, and when you count the side roads it has up to around 20 lanes, which makes it one of the widest city streets in the world.

Crossing it on foot usually takes more than one green light. At rush hour it fills with a steady river of buses, taxis and cars, and in the evening the buildings along both sides light up.

Further along the avenue stands the Obelisco, a white monument about 220 feet (67 m) tall. Whenever Argentina wins something big, this is where the city comes to celebrate, just as huge crowds did after the 2022 World Cup.

Did You Know? The avenue is named after 9 July 1816, the day Argentina declared its independence.
