Within the centre lie the financial district, La City, and major shopping, eating and accommodation districts. It's a hectic place, particularly during the week, but from the bustle of Florida, the area's busy pedestrianized thoroughfare, to the fin-de-siècle elegance of Avenida de Mayo and the café culture of Corrientes, the area is surprisingly varied in both architecture and atmosphere. With the exception of the Plaza de Mayo and the Teatro Colón – Buenos Aires' world-renowned opera house – it's perhaps not so much the centre's sights that are the main draw but rather the strongly defined character of its streets, which provide a perfect introduction to the rhythm of Porteño life.
