Shopping Mecca

Get ready for serious shopping in Buenos Aires Argentina. Bring your credit card and head for the Alto Palermo mall, conveniently located in the center of the city, in the upscale area called Recoleta. This mall has every shop you’ll want to hit, all under one roof. Styles are current and chic and prices are so very reasonable, thanks to a 2002 economic crisis. Argentina is recovering from that crisis, but in the meantime, you will find prices to be very good. 

Another spot to hit for trendy shopping is Calle Florida, especially for Argentina’s trademark products: leather items. Calle Florida also hums with dozens of cafés. Treat yourself to café con leche, or anything with dulce de leche on it.

Alto Palermo mall and Calle Florida are full of beautiful items you’ll feel immediately attracted to, and there’s a good chance you’ll end up needing to make room in your luggage for purchases! Look for great bargains on quality, chic items like:

vintage lamps
upscale fashionable clothing
home furnishings
European-style leather shoes
leather jackets
leather handbags
