Are there mistakes in this Spanish paragraph?

Hay muchos lugares interesantes para el turista en Buenos Aires. El barrio de San Telmo es donde muchos artistas y escritores viven. El barrio de La Boca tiene casas de colores vivos y restaurantes populares. La calle Rivadavia, que comienza cerca de la Plaza de Mayo, es unas de las calles más largas del mundo. En el centro del ciudad también hay muchas boutiques y calles llenas de animación. Dos monumentos en la ciudad son el obelisco blanco (como el de Washington) y una réplica del Big Ben. Un otro lugar que el turista debe visitar es el Teatro Colón. Eso teatro es uno de los más famosos del región de Buenos Aires.


Thanks in advance.

I've marked a few things in red that need fixed. Purple marks places where alternate wording or another location would sound better.

The Obelisco Blanco is a monument. It is written with capital letters.

The English word 'another' is otro in Spanish.
Never say un otro.

The word 'others' is otros.
