Seventh-Ninth Avenue

Seventh-Ninth Avenue (Av. 9 de Julio) is located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and is named after Argentina's Independence Day (July 9, 1810, when Argentina declared independence). The avenue runs north to south across the city, is about 140 meters wide, and is said to be the widest street in the world.

Seventh-Ninth Avenue is the short name for "Avenida 9 de Julio," a street in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is named after Argentina's Independence Day, which is July 9, 1816. It is the widest avenue in the world, the most beautiful avenue in the world, the busiest traffic avenue in the world, and the most bustling avenue in the world!

Seventh-Ninth Avenue is 4.6 kilometers long and 148 meters wide, with a total of 18 lanes. The unusual width of Avenida 9 de Julio is due to the fact that it spans an entire city block — in Buenos Aires' grid-like road network, the distance between adjacent streets is approximately 110 meters. Along Seventh-Ninth Avenue, from north to south, there are many well-known buildings: the French Embassy, the Teatro Colón, the Obelisco of Buenos Aires, Plaza de la República, the statue of Don Quixote at the intersection with Avenida de Mayo, the former headquarters of the Ministry of Transport, as well as Constitution Station and Constitution Square. When night falls, the tall lampposts on Seventh-Ninth Avenue shine brightly, and the colorful advertising lights on the buildings complement them, illuminating the whole avenue with a dreamlike beauty.
