Buenos Aires' Oldest Bookstore

Herge · 2026-07-29

Buenos Aires' oldest book temple opens its doors to you! (11-minute video) What if we traveled back in time right to the heart of the colonial period? In this new video from Studio Petit Hergé, we take you for a stroll through the legendary "Librería" de Ávila, hidden just steps from Plaza de Mayo and right across from the city’s very first Jesuit college. Between dangerously sloping basement shelves and the scent of old paper with my guest François, it’s the very soul of Buenos Aires that unfolds! Come get lost with us in the stacks right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz-hwhIZ_FA I’m looking forward to your comments—and your ideas if you’d like me to explore another spot in the capital!
