The first time I came to a bookstore with more than 2,000 square meters! It’s too luxurious, retro and spectacular. The panoramic view can’t be photographed in the phone. How do I describe it? Haha, everyone must come if they have a chance!

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Athenian Bookstore is located in the downtown area of Buenos Aires. This bookstore is converted from an old theater and claims to be the second largest bookstore in the world. The bookstore’s predecessor, the Grand Theater of Light, was completed in 1919 and was once a landmark in Buenos Aires. The dome fresco was painted by Italian painter Sanarino Orlandi, and the theme is peace. The original boxes, sculptures, and the crimson curtain on the stage in the theater are well preserved, but the stage has become a place for readers to rest. You can go up to eat snacks or sit and read. The boxes are turned into "mini" reading rooms.

Dear babies, don’t miss it when you pass by. It’s really beautiful. Hahaha. Forgive me. This vulgar person can’t say advanced words. I’m curious about how the owner’s dream of integrating the theater and the bookstore so well. It’s admirable.
Very fashionable bookstore! Live up to meet! The selection of books can also be seen that they are carefully selected, and all aspects of history, culture and art are complete. It is not good to have a cup of American and cookies for a day here.
The most beautiful bookstore in the world, and old theatre now a famous bookstore, dont miss having coffee at the back where there is a also a piano player in the evenings.
What a beautiful bookstore! The building used to be a theater, so the original decor definitely lends to the photogenic setting. I imagine that, if Beauty & The Beast were a true-to-life story, this would be Belle's library in the palace.
We visited the biggest book shop in Latin America which has a Cafe inside and you can take a book and read it, taking a sweet coffe, and then return the book, for free ! This book shop used to be a huge theatre, really amazing.
Beautiful spot tucked away on the busy streets. Set yourself up, get a coffee and hang out all day or explore the rows of books in this theater turned bookstore
As the world's second largest bookstore, what is the word of the Athenian Bookstore in Buenos Aires, Argentina? This reason the theater was transformed, but it retains most of the decoration, there are drama stations and coffee snacks, choose your favorite book here Drinking coffee comfortably for a day, too satisfying
