The regenerated docklands — converted brick warehouses and sleek glass towers along the water, upmarket restaurants, the striking Puente de la Mujer bridge, and a nature reserve on the river beyond. Modern, safe and polished (if a little soulless), central and pleasant for a waterside stroll; the upscale, business-and-leisure base.

- 14.Puerto Madero & the reserve — The revamped docklands make for a pleasant waterside stroll — brick warehouses turned restaurants, the elegant white Puente de la Mujer footbridge, and, just beyond, the surprising Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve, a swathe of wild wetland on the river's edge, full of birds. A relaxed, modern contrast to the old barrios.
