Practical information : Going out Argentina
Timetable
Cultural events and other performing arts are part of the excitement of the capital Buenos Aires: the city never sleeps! Clubs, milongas and other boliches (nightclubs) are numerous and can only close their doors at dawn. Mainly located in the city, nightclubs are generally open from Thursday to Saturday from 10pm to 3am (later for afterhours). In remote areas, establishments close much earlier, especially in Patagonia.
Budget & Tips
Discotheques, nightclubs and dance bars, theaters, cinemas, theaters... going out in Buenos Aires can quickly add up! Most of the infrastructure is based on a "Europeanized" entry system: paid entry for gentlemen and free entry for ladies on weekends. Alcoholic beverages are also more expensive in discos than in bars, but prices remain reasonable (between 5 and 10 euros). In more remote areas, the absence of discotheques and other party venues doesn't prevent locals from partying when they feel like it: public buildings (the equivalent of "party halls") are open to locals so they can get together and have fun. Generally, all village residents are invited, and if you're a bit curious, it's easy to find out about it: in which case, all the better, as foreigners are often gladly invited!
To be booked
When it comes to cultural outings in Buenos Aires, be sure to find out in advance if your time is limited! It would be a shame to miss out on a tango show or a play, so make sure you book well in advance, especially between November and February, when summer is in full swing for the festive season. If you want to be sure of a good seat at a tango show, don't forget to call ahead for the best tables. For more information, visit https://argentina-tango.net.
Night transport
Buenos Aires has a good public transport network. However, the last subway leaves at 10:30 p.m., and night owls will have to wait for the first subway at 5 a.m. to get home! The best option is to take a cab or a VTC service. In the rest of the country, don't rely too much on public transport or cab networks when you're in rural or isolated areas. A little tip? If you take a cab, don't hesitate to take the driver's business card or contact details so that you can get in touch with him again later if you need to.
What's very local
Like to party the night away? Then Buenos Aires' boliches are for you! Temples of tango and strongholds of porteña nightlife , these large discotheques cater for two types of audience: the dancers, most of whom are amazingly talented and technical (after all, you're in the city of tango!), and the spectators, who are eager to feast their eyes. Watching the Argentinians dance is a spectacle in itself.
