    Abasto Shopping Mall: Bs As Largest Shopping Mall

    by TexasDave Updated Apr 30, 2008 807 reviews

    3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

    Originally designed and built to house the city's wholesale fruit and vegetable market in the late 1890's, it was renovated to be a multi-level shopping mall in 1999. It houses a 12 screen movie theater, an indoor amusement park for small children and, of course, a food court.

    The stores here are more for middle-class local residents, not tourists. It is not near as upscale as Gallerias Pacifico. For a tourist this is more about seeing the building itself and the architecture than the merchandise.

    One of the best shopings centre in buenos aires ...quite further from the Florida str or the downtown because its going up Corrientes boulevard at least for 25 blocks or 2.5 km from 9 de Julio Avenue ..once inside its a gorgeous architectural style and crowded by trendy clothes shops ....cinemas and place to relax and drink something...but the main activity there is getting Euros, pounds or Dollars be crazy buying all kind of stuff thanks to the low prices of everything !!
    National brands are really good and so cheap and international ones maybe 60 or 70 % cheaper than in Europe !!

    What to buy: men and women clothes

    What to pay: not much really .... a quicksilver t shirt could cost in europe around 60 euros ..so expect to pay just 12 or 15 there !!!!!!
