#5 Microcentro:
Buses, taxis, and people whiz by the narrow streets and sidewalks of this frenetic “micro center,” which vibrates until midnight everyday. Lying east of the Avenida 9 de Julio, the world’s widest avenue, Microcentro has a heavy concentration of businesses, bank headquarters, international corporate offices, and governmental institutions. On Fridays, the businessmen take off their ties as they swig pints of beer in the many Irish pubs and taverns located in the area.
