 Galerias Pacifico by sabrina_florida
The shops are all first-class. You can get clothes, leather goods, shoes, books, etc. There's a big food court on the basement.
For an average local this is a pricey place, but not for you guys! cos you'll divide the tap price by 3! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPhone: 5555-5100

This tip could just as easily be put under Things to Do rather than shopping since the interior is a sight to behold. Even my shopping phobic husband enjoyed the visit here and he didn't even break out in hives!
The building was constructed in 1891 but the current mall only dates back to 1992. It was designed to resemble the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, it features long halls, glass cupolas and several levels of shops. It was short lived as shopping space as it was converted into offices for the Pacifico Railroad (hence the name). It was during this period, in 1945, that the paintings about the history of mankind were placed under the main dome.
To get a good look at the paintings under the dome, go down the short staircase toward the food court. And if you are hungry there are several interesting choices for lunch including several fast food asados (Argentine grills) that can be followed by some ice cream at Freddo's or some chocolates or one of the tempting desserts found at several locations.

The Galerias Pacifico, centrally located on Florida street has to be the most architecturally beautiful shopping center in Argentina. It was built in the late 1800s and inspired on the Bon Marche in Paris, and it was the major shopping galleria in Buenos Aires, until the 1960s, when the building was taken over by the state-run railroad offices and fell into disuse and disrepair. In the early 1990s it was awarded to a private company as part of the overall privatization drive in Argentina and in 1992 it reopened in its current form, including the amazing glass ceilings and the restored murals.
Check the central dome, with frescoes from some of the most important painters in Argentina, which were done around 1945. Also it's a nice place to check around Christmas time, since they do decorate a lot and install a huge Christmas tree under the dome.
- Good place to catch a quick bite, since the food court downstairs has a great variety of offerings. Beware, it gets very busy around 1 PM when the surrounding offices let out for lunch, so you may want to either stop by earlier or a bit later, otherwise you won't find a table. Some evenings there are quick shows presented on the food court stage.
- Most of the international chains that operate in Argentina have branches here. Check Giesso for men's suits, Chevignon for some trendier, young men's items.
- Most shops show the "Tax Free" sign - when you buy from those shops, present your passport or other foreign ID, save the receipts and you can claim back most of the VAT at Ezeiza airport upon leaving Argentina (about 16%, so you will get a nice refund)
- On the ground level, check the information booth and ask them about the discount coupon book, which is available for all tourists and includes discounts to many of the shops there.
Not the cheapest in Buenos Aires, but comparable to other places. Leave a Comment

Two architects: Emilio Agrelo y Roland Le Vacher projected it in 1889 inspired by a passage in Milano–Italy - in the end of the XIX century– called Galería Vittorio Emmanuele II.
Inside the building there s the Centro Cultural Jorge Luis Borges and -the famous ballet dancer`s own dance academy - Escuela de Danzas de Julio Boca.
