Es relativamente fácil moverse en la ciudad ya que está distribuida en bloques o manzanas de 100 metros de largo y ancho (10.000 metros² de superficie). Existen avenidas y calles identificadas con nombres de personalidades de la historia política, bélica y cultural del país y del mundo como así también de lugares y fechas representativas. La zona financiera de la ciudad, comúnmente referida como "La City" o "Microcentro" se ubica entre la Avenida Córdoba y la Avenida de Mayo y entre la Avenida 9 de Julio y la Avenida Paseo Colón; mientras que las zonas más turísticas de la ciudad se encuentran en los barrios aledaños al centro como Recoleta, Palermo, la Boca, San Telmo y Puerto Madero.
Sugerimos que visiten la pagina de "Plano de Buenos Aires en www.planodebuenosaires.com.ar para obtener información detallada de planos y calles de la ciudad.
