Leandro N. Alem (Buenos Aires Underground)

Leandro N. Alem is a terminal station of the Line B of the Buenos Aires Underground.

It is located at the intersection of Corrientes and Leandro Alem, near the, Luna Park stadium and the Puerto Madero district, and is a short walk from Plaza de Mayo.

This station is at sea level, at the bottom of a steep incline; hence the name el bajo (the lowlands), which is historically linked to the bars and night clubs that used to be in the area.

The station was opened in December 1931 as the eastern terminus of the extension of the line from Carlos Pellegrini.
