El Ateneo, in Barrio Norte/Recoleta, and Boutique del Libro, in Palermo. They offer very different experiences.
      El Ateneo is the most beautiful bookstore in the world. I’m not exaggerating. They took an old theater where tango was once danced and turned it into a massive bookstore, leaving the balconies, the stage, the lighting for the most part, and the magic.

This theater turned bookstore is a sight to behold. Visitors can read from the balcony. Or sip coffee on the stage cafe. El Ateneo's painted ceiling and beautifully adorned fixtures turn reading into a theatrical experience.
