Nighthawks and revellers, welcome to your spiritual home. While many cities might claim to forego sleep, few live it up quite like Buenos Aires, where we eat late, converse into the early hours and dance beyond dawn.

In the Argentine capital, the night is a new day, and the city lights up with hundreds of restaurants and thousands of bars and clubs. Tuck into a succulent steak, catch a show, head for a late-night coffee at a 19th century cafe, visit a milonga to witness the sensual tango in its authentic setting, sip exquisite cocktails in hidden bars, and dance to whatever rhythm takes your fancy; the city’s nightlife is as varied as it is intense.

The options are endless: underground theatre, craft beer and cocktail bars, live music, milongas and nightclubs specialising in everything from national rock, pop and cumbia to jazz and international electronic music. Every spot has its own atmosphere and regular crowd, but on most scenes in Buenos Aires, an open atmosphere prevails and all are welcome. We like to socialise in large groups, so bring a friend along or ask your hotel or hostel to recommend a pub crawl you can join.
