Shops on the quayside?

[franu]

Not knowing when we will arrive in Ushuaia, I would like to know if there are any kiosks or shops alongside the dock. I am not a big shopper but I would like some small gifts and Tshirts from "the city on the bottom of the world". I don't know if we will be able to look around the town as we may be on the later plane.

Thanks

Fran

Yes, there are some shops along the quay. Mostly souviner type things, and as I recall there was also a shop selling leather coats. Also some street vendors. If you walk up into town there are a lot of stores nearby selling touristy stuff.

Since the town (city actually) starts at the waterfront, a walk of a few blocks will allow you to cover the area I would call Downtown Ushuaia.

Thanks for alleviating some of my anxiety. As I am not sure that I will have more than 15 minutes to pick up a few trinkets from the southernmost city, I am feeling less anxious as I think that this will be the perfect little token gifts. Of course, I am hoping to get more time to see more of the city.
