Nightlife - Buenos Aires is never more alive than it is at night.  It is what you'd expect from a city that invented tango. Avenues come alive with people on their way to concerts, festivals, theater, cinema, cafés, milonga and tango houses, pubs, and discos.  Night activities in Buenos Aires are long lasting. 

Discos – They open at midnight and close between 2 and 7 am.  For those unfamiliar with the “movida” porteña, an important tip is that everything starts very late. People usually go to dance at 2:30 am.  It is quite common to have breakfast before going to bed. 

Restaurants – The dining options in Buenos Aires are endless. This is a city that takes dining seriously, and meals can easily last a few hours.  Traditional and modern parrilla restaurants serve up a cornucopia of meats to a discerning clientele, while pizza and pasta restaurants are found on every street corner. But there has been a food revolution in recent years and many international influences have crept in, including modern Mediterranean and Asian food. Argentina also has some of the world’s best wines, which shouldn’t be missed.

Shopping – You better bring an empty suitcase!  The city has several shopping circuits, each offering different articles: antiques in San Telmo, books in Corrientes Avenue, leather items in Retiro neighborhood, souvenirs in La Boca. The avant-garde in objects, clothes and decorative elements is in Palermo Viejo neighborhood.
