Tips from the community
French architecture, Recoleta Cultural Centre, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, leafy parks, and tons of well-heeled porteños is what you’ll find in Buenos Aires’ Recoleta neighborhood. You’ll also find Ateneo Grand Splendid, which National Geographic called “the most beautiful bookshop in the world” with very good reason. This stunning bookstore is housed in a former theatre and a café now occupies the main stage. After your refreshments, head to the top balcony to admire the theater in all its glory.
