A beautiful shopping mall with numerous stores and dining options. They also have a food court located on the lower level.

The shopping experience in the city center is quite nice. It's well-known for its stunning architecture and the murals by outstanding Argentinian artists. During the Christmas season, it features the most beautiful Christmas tree in the city. While I wouldn't dine here, there are lovely cafes available. The shopping experience can vary based on the peso's exchange rate.

This is a very nice, modern shopping center with an excellent food court and several great restaurants. We're lucky that our rented apartment is nearby, allowing us to try out several good dining options and shop for essential items.

The ambience was pleasant, and the architecture of the building is breathtaking. There are many shopping options available. I recommend having lunch by the fountain, as it’s one of the most beautiful spots. It was very busy, but not overwhelmingly crowded. They also host a cultural center with free exhibits that are quite fascinating; my favorite was the oriental culture museum.
