Florida, “Buenos Aires’ girlfriend” goes from Rivadavia St. to General San Martin Square. When it comes to Buenos Aires commercial area, Florida is one of the most important streets. Many luxury historic buildings, including the Bank Boston, as well as Galeria Güemes, Galerias Pacifico and the Centro Naval Argentino proudly show off their architecture on Florida Pedestrian.  Florida gives Argentine culture the place where to exhibit many of its’ different faces: Argentina’s national anthem was sung for the first time on Florida and this pedestrian was named after one of the most important battles fought in the search of the country independence. The exclusive selection of stores located on Florida Pedestrian outstands from other commercial areas of the city. In its early years, only the latest in furniture, jewelry and hats from Europe was found on Florida. It was the European face of Buenos Aires the one going live on Florida.   

 After many important stores -such as Harrod’s and Gatha & Chavez- bars, cultural centers and artistic galleries opened their doors on Florida St., Florida began its conversion process to what it is today. Nowadays, it is one of the most important turistic and commercial areas of the city.
