Calle Florida is the busiest and most famous shopping street in Buenos Aires, a long pedestrian thoroughfare running through the heart of the centre and always thronged with crowds. Lined with shops, from fashion and leather goods to souvenirs and bookstores, along with street performers, tango dancers and money changers, it buzzes with energy from morning to night. Leading to the grand Galerias Pacifico, it is the city’s traditional shopping artery and a lively, quintessentially porteno place to browse, people-watch and soak up the urban bustle.
