Nestled into the San Telmo neighborhood, Walrus Books is the go-to for the lit-loving traveler. Poke your head into Walrus, and peruse the cozy shop’s quality books, many of which are used (and in English).
A 19th-century café with tall stained glass windows, Café Las Violetas is known to locals for not only its golden age history, but for its afternoon teas, "La Hora Del Te," and traditional Argentinian fare. Originally built in 1884, the café and restaurant was rebuilt in the gilded age with its stained-glass windows, curved glass doors, and marble floors. Try the María Cala, a platter stacked with cakes, sandwiches, and pastries served at teatime.
