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
Discos, nightclubs and dance bars, theatres, cinemas, theatres... going out in Buenos Aires can quickly become a budget item! Most of the infrastructures are based on a "Europeanized" admission system: paying admission for men and free admission for women on weekends. Alcoholic drinks are also more expensive in discos than in bars, but the prices are still reasonable (between 5 and 10 euros). In the remotest corners, the lack of discos and other festive places does not prevent locals from partying when they feel like it: public buildings (the equivalent of "party halls") are open to the inhabitants so that they can gather and have fun. Usually all the inhabitants of the village are invited and it is easy, if one is a little curious, to find out about it: in this case, all the better, foreigners are often invited with pleasure!
To be booked
As for your cultural outings in Buenos Aires, be sure to check 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 ahead, especially between November and February, when summer is in full swing during the holiday season. To get a good seat at the tango shows, remember to call around for the best tables. For more information, visit www.tangobuenosaires.gob.ar
Night transport
The city of Buenos Aires has a good public transport network. However, the last subway passes at 10:30 pm and night owls will have to wait for the first subway at 5 am to get home! The best thing to do is to take a taxi or a VTC service. In the rest of the country, you should not rely too much on public transport or taxi networks when you are in rural or isolated areas. The little trick? If you take a taxi, don't hesitate to take the driver's business card or contact details so that you can contact him later if you need him.
What's very local
You like to party all night long? Then the Buenos Aires boliches are for you! Temples of the tango and fiefs of the porteñas nights, these large discotheques welcome two types of public: the dancers, for the most part astonishing of talents and techniques (you are all the same in the city of the tango!) and the spectators, avid to be taken full the eyes. It must be said that watching Argentines dance is already a show in itself
