Buenos Aires, with room to wander
A bookshop, a pizza stop and a stretch of green. Three starting points for a day with a little space around its plans.
Culture Buenos Aires
An old Monserrat store-bar for a small pause among central Buenos Aires' grand avenues.
La Embajada began as a traditional store in 1949 and retains the scale of a neighbourhood meeting place. Its Santiago del Estero address sits close to Avenida de Mayo, making it an easy break during a walk through Monserrat. Come for the atmosphere of an older porteño shop and bar rather than a large restaurant production. Check the current offering and hours directly if you are building a meal around the stop.
