"BUENOS AIRES: ONCE" Buenos Aires Shopping Tip by swesn

Buenos Aires Shopping: 201 reviews and 207 photos

If you are in need of an extra duffel bag to toss in all your new shopping, some candles for your seance or witchcraft practice, to replace a missing Buddha, frivolous shopping for cheap clothes and costume jewelleries, etc... head to the area near the Once (pronounced On-Say) Station.

This is roughly bordered by Av Pueyrredon, Av Rivadavia, Av Corrientes and Av Callao. And here is where most of the Chinese shop-keepers had located themselves. And so, here you can find their impossibly cheap and low-quality goods.

If you need items for your handicrafts (be it candle-making, jewellery-making, etc...), this is the place to hunt for such things as well.

Even if you don't need anything, just drop by here for a look-see, to experience the other end of Buenos Aires shopping - trashy shopping.

What to buy: Unimportant things that you need and can afford to buy the cheap stuff

Address: Near Once Station
Theme: Discount Store

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
