This live stream looks toward the Obelisco, the white monument standing at the junction of Avenida 9 de Julio and Avenida Corrientes in the heart of Buenos Aires. It is a practical way to see how busy the centre is and what the sky is doing above the avenues.
About the Obelisco
The Obelisco was built in 1936 to mark the 400th anniversary of the first founding of Buenos Aires, and it has since become one of the city's best-known landmarks. Avenida 9 de Julio is among the widest streets in the world, and the monument sits where it meets the theatre district and the busy shopping streets of Corrientes. The city lies on the flat shore of the Río de la Plata, so the surroundings are open, urban and full of street life rather than dramatic hills.
What to watch on the camera
Because the view is centred on a busy urban crossing, the pace of the city is the main thing to follow. Weekday mornings and early evenings usually bring the heaviest traffic and crowds, while late evenings and weekends can be calmer. The camera's title names the monument, so the lit-up square and the avenue are the features you are most likely to notice, but conditions depend on the view at any given moment.
Practical notes
Buenos Aires has a mild climate overall, with hot, humid summers from December to February and cooler, drier winters from June to August. Spring and autumn are often the most comfortable months for walking. The Obelisco is easy to reach by metro, and the nearby Buenos Aires camera and the Oficina Externa camera on this site show neighbouring parts of the city for comparison.
