Buenos Aires is a haven for shopping! Previously we have tipped you on shopping in the neighborhoods Palermo and San Telmo. This time we guide you through some of the best shops in Recoleta.

Recoleta

Written by Jesper Vestergren Hansen and Mathilde Hvidt

On a stroll in the fashionable Recoleta you will meet both elderly rich ladies and young fashion-conscious ones. This area is indeed the place for the old bourgeois and the young, the rich and the beautiful. Shopping in Recoleta takes place on Avenida Santa Fe (from around the corner at Paraná on further out) and in the blocks on the northern side of it. For those who prefer to shop indoor Paseo Alcorta - which is the only recommendable shoppingcenter in Buenos Aires - is also located in Recoleta.
