First Glance at Buenos Aires, Argentina

Shopping

If can't wait to go back to your country with some knick-knacks from here, make sure to get around these places and pick up some unique things along the way.

Galerías Pacífico

@CesarMendez1

It's considered a "Bougie" mall in there, so it won't have the cheapest options. They have an amazing foodcourt though that it's surprisingly affordable and is backed up by a couple of cafes and restaurants located in the lower floor in case you want something fancier ;)

Peatonal Florida

@CesarMendez1

A walking street full of a bunch of different stores, restaurants and even cultural events. This is the perfect place to find all the souvenirs you want, finding an impromptu tango performance, or just stride around taking it. PD: It looks ten times better at night ;)

El Ateneo Grand Splendid

@CesarMendez1

Not only the most beautiful library that I've seen in my life, but has an amazingly broad selection of products apart from books. The lower section has casettes and Vinyls on sale all the time and they even have a coffee store so this place is just a must-visit. Fun fact: There's a lights show every hour shown on the painting at the bottom of the cafe ;)

Teatro Metropolitan SURA

@CesarMendez1

This is Broadway in Argentina. Quite Literally. Check on their website for all functions and dates when they're being held. Not so fun fact: The page doesn't allow you to book a show unless you're in Argentina so either wait until your there to book it or use a VPN ;)
