点评:El Ateneo Grand Splendid is one of the most extraordinary bookstores I’ve ever visited. Often described as the second‑largest bookstore in the world, it occupies a former theater, and the original architecture has been beautifully preserved. The balconies, boxes, and tiers are now lined with books, creating a breathtaking setting that feels both historic and theatrical.
The selection is extensive, with a strong emphasis on Spanish‑language titles and works centered on Latin American culture and literature. There is also a small English‑language section and a charming children’s area. The former stage has been transformed into a café, complete with the magnificent original backdrop, making it a lovely spot to pause and take in the atmosphere.
Even if you’re not planning to buy books, this is absolutely a must‑see. Complimentary entry makes it easy to wander and enjoy the space. It’s located on Avenida Santa Fe, one of Buenos Aires’ most popular upscale shopping avenues, which adds to the experience.

翻译:雅典娜格兰德斯普伦迪德书店是我去过的最非凡的书店之一。它常被誉为世界第二大书店,坐落于一座旧剧院内,原有的建筑风格被完美地保留了下来。阳台、包厢和阶梯式座位如今都摆满了书籍,营造出令人叹为观止的氛围,既充满历史感又富有戏剧性。
书店藏书丰富,尤其侧重于西班牙语书籍以及以拉丁美洲文化和文学为主题的作品。此外,这里还设有少量英语书籍区和一个温馨的儿童区。原先的舞台被改造成了一家咖啡馆,保留了原有的华丽背景幕布,是驻足欣赏氛围的绝佳去处。
即使您不打算买书,这里也绝对值得一去。免费入场让您可以轻松漫步,尽情享受书店的氛围。书店位于布宜诺斯艾利斯最受欢迎的高档购物街之一——圣达菲大道,更增添了书店的独特魅力。
