Buenos Aires in the mid-1990s was a city caught between nostalgia and transformation. The glamor of its European-style architecture stood in contrast with the growing signs of economic strain.

The streets buzzed with colectivos and conversations—politics, fútbol, and the latest drama from the telenovelas. Newsstands overflowed with magazines, cigarettes, and candy, and street vendors sold choripanes or fake Ray-Bans on every corner. Kids played fútbol on cracked sidewalks, and tango music spilled from open windows or passed buskers in the Subte. Graffiti and political posters clung to walls like layers of urban memory. The scent of exhaust mixed with freshly baked medialunas from corner cafés.

Loud, fast, and unmistakably porteño — that was life in Buenos Aires in 1995. These amazing photos bring the streets of that era back to life.
