Plaza San Martín & Calle Florida (Centro) – In front of the Hotel Marriott Plaza, the Plaza San Martín is surrounded by very interesting buildings. The Palacio San Martín and the Officers Club (Circulo Militar) speak loudly of their glorious past. Casa López, almost on the corner where Calle Florida begins is one of the more prestigious places for leather apparel. Walk down (East) along Florida or San Martín toward the Retiro Train Station in front of the Sheraton and take a stroll inside. On the opposite direction from Plaza San Martín, Calle Florida is the biggest open air shopping area of the city. You may walk it from the Plaza all the way to Av. Belgrano where it becomes unsafe for visitors. On the many side streets along the route there are places where you’ll find the same goods sold along Florida at discount prices. You must visit Centro Comercial Galerías Pacifico (Shop. Mall) on the corner of Florida & Av. Córdoba. Do be careful with your wallets and purses while walking around the whole area.
