El Ateneo Grand Splendid is probably the most famous book shop in Buenos Aires, perhaps in the world. it is taking space in a former theatre, offering spaces for reading. just being there makes you feel the unique experience of a place where time has stopped and everyone is being set to his own world.

Buenos Aires is the most European city in South America. in the city center you will see districts in which you feel you’re in Paris, other districts are more like Spain or Italy. though, there are great differences between the people which result in very poor outer districts, almost like slums, and very rich districts with expensive villas.

even though there are European styled district, the city is living Argentinian life. you can still see people dancing tango in La Boca or you can treat yourself with delicious asado in most of the local restaurants.
