LOCATION

It is the perfect place to have fun in the downtown of the City of Buenos Aires. A peculiar aesthetic pedestrian street, with a lot of bars and pubs that are located all along with their tables inside and on the sidewalks, creating an entertaining and cheerful environment. Most of them have Irish style such as The Kilkenny, the most famous bar in downtown.

This shopping pedestrian street begins in Rivadavia Avenue and ends in San Martín Square. Its course is riddled with business premises: shops offering regional and leather products, stores and malls, banks, book-shops, travel agencies, coffee-shops and restaurants. It is an “open-air shopping mall”. You can also enjoy street shows offered by tango dancers, guitar players, singers and illusionists, as well as delight with the view of the more beautiful buildings of Buenos Aires.

It is one of the most successful shopping malls in Argentina. It was declared National Historical Monument due to its architecture of undeniable artistic value and to its stunning murals. It has an area of 11.000 m2 and more than 150 shops and stands of leading brands, in addition to a food court with more than 18 different gastronomic proposals. These and other reasons make Galerías Pacífico an ideal place to visit, admire and shop.

It is one of the oldest squares of the City and it was the site where many historical events took place. The French landscaper Carlos Thays, who designed many of the main green areas of the City and was the Director of “Parques y Paseos” (Directorate General of Parks and Strolls) since 1891, made great contributions and incorporated new species to its vegetation. Besides its several native and foreign specimens, the square has major monuments and sculptures.
