Buenos Aires at night

Buenos Aires has the spirit of keeping late hours – the activity by night is permanent and streets look animate, even in working days. There is a varied offer: concerts, music shows, dinners, theatre, cinema, outdoor activities, parties in discos, social meetings in cafés, pubs, etc.

Discos close between 6 and 7 in the morning, and, in some places, the party continues in “after-hour gatherings” and extends until midday. It is frequent for young people to go to more than one place in the same night and to have breakfast before going to bed.

Tickets for both discos and “after-hour” gatherings are charged between ten and fifteen pesos; in some cases, women do not pay before 12 pm. Concerts or music shows range between eight and fifteen pesos.

Cinemas are generally quite crowded, especially on Saturdays. Prices vary according to the cinema. Tickets range between 6 and 10 pesos; although there is no fixed price, a discount in certain days of the week is customary.

Office workers employees use to go out with colleagues after work, generally on Thursdays. In downtown and in Recoleta, bars have special offers, like happy hour or “two for one” – which allows to buy two drinks for the price of one – from 7 to approximately 10 pm.
