Corrientes runs for 70 blocks from Puerto Madero to Chacarita, but its heart is between Esmeralda and Avenida Callao, where theatres, late-closing bookshops, pizzerias and bares notables crowd together; from Callao to Libertad it has been pedestrian from 7pm since April 2019. Start at the Obelisco, pass the Teatro San Martín at 1530, stop for helado at Cadore, at 1695, and walk on to Callao.
