The big day is coming. Tomorrow, May 25th, Argentina will commemorate 200 years of independent life as a nation. The celebrations will distribute among the 9 de Julio Avenue, the Avenida de Mayo and the Plaza de Mayo. Hostel Colonial gives you some tips to enjoy the celebration the best you can: some security advice and keys to find the best location for the different shows.The first thing to have in mind this May 25th is security. This kind of celebrations always causes crowding and its best to be alert for those who aren’t there for the show. Most of the people will just enjoy the holiday, many tourist are expected so nobody will be surprised by your attendance. Try to leave the money at the Hostel, carry only pocket money and those few essential things you need (ID, keys, etc.). Be careful if you carry a camera. It’s better if you carry no bags, purses or backpacks. Carry some warm clothes but don’t exaggerate because you’ll be surrounded by many people (you know, the warmth of the crowd).
Early in the morning, many people will be saving their place in the Plaza de Mayo, scenario of the main events and celebrations. Past noon, it will be really difficult to get there. The best choice is trying to walk down the Diagonal Norte (Roque Sáenz Peña). This is an alternative path to get to the Plaza, being Avenida de Mayo the principal access where most of the people will be walking.You might want to carry a bottle of water or something to freshen up. Don’t forget this: the closer you get to the Plaza, the more squashed you’ll be. If you choose to attend the main celebrations, you have to remember that you might be standing on your feet for hours. We recommend you to eat before you go… and to be patient. For those who prefer to watch it on TV, Hostel Colonial will be logged all day. You might also want to try to visit some other parts of the city which will be less congested. Don’t count on finding any shops open.
