The Obelisco, a historical monument and iconic symbol of Buenos Aires, is a must-see for any visitor. Its central location makes it easily accessible by public transportation. Visiting the Obelisco is free and can be enjoyed year-round, though the surrounding area can get crowded, especially during peak tourist season and events. A typical visit involves taking photos and admiring the structure from the outside, usually taking about 30-60 minutes. The area around the Obelisco is generally safe for solo travelers. While the Obelisco itself doesn't offer guided tours, numerous walking tours of Buenos Aires include it as a key stop. Accessibility is good, with flat sidewalks surrounding the monument.
